(Series of 2009)

A RESOLUTION CONGRATULATING HONORABLE CHEENEE F. HOYA FOR WINNING THE OUTSTANDING SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN AWARDS AND RECOGNITION (OSKAR) IN THE HIGHLY URBANIZED CITY CATEGORY

WHEREAS, Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Federation President, Honorable Cheenee F. Hoya, clinched the prestigious Outstanding Sangguniang Kabataan Awards and Recognition (OSKAR) in the Highly Urbanized City Category given to her during the recently concluded SK National Congress, for her robust contributions in bringing the youth sector of the City to a level of resounding excellence;

WHEREAS, Kagawad Cheenee Hoya is an epitome of how vibrant our young generation is, exceptionally gifted, ever-fresh with ideas and spirited;

WHEREAS, before she joined the City’s leadership, “Cheenee”, became one of the crowned princesses in the Search for the City Fiesta Queen 2005 and emerged as Miss Talent. She honed her God-given package through training and launching in the fields of music and arts – singing, dancing, acting and modeling for known hair stylists and make-up artists in the City;

WHEREAS, she was also an active member of PREDA-AKBAY Theater Group. The AKBAY (Aksyon ng Kabataan at mga Bata para sa Bayan) Advocacy Theater Group was organized to carry out the advocacy on the Rights of the Children and Youth Empowerment. Its main thrust is to raise the consciousness of the general public regarding social issue confronting children and the youth sectors using theater arts as an effective tool of communication;

WHEREAS, through her influence, they have established the first theater club in the City reaching out to almost all the young people in their barangay. With the involvement of all the youth in the said community, the club, housed in their present building serves as a training center, reaching their peers to be trained not only to become productive members of the society but to be capable leaders;

WHEREAS, SK Hoya’s leadership serves as the force that provided the legislative bedrock for the SK’s programs and projects in the City and the fuel that jumpstarted their numerous programs on environmental protection, education, livelihood and entrepreneurship, sports and entertainment, infrastructure and basic community services, anti-drug campaigns, community immersion and development. The young constituents of the City had surely harvested the rippling positive effects of the said programs as their representative in the Sangguniang Panlungsod and their pacesetter;

WHEREAS, the OSKAR accorded to her is another attestation of Olongapo’s fertile ground for excellent leaders to bloom and another feather on the cap of the City, the Olongapeños are so proud of;

NOW, THEREFORE, with the unanimous accord of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present,

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled, to congratulate, as it hereby congratulates, Honorable Cheenee F. Hoya for winning the Outstanding Sangguniang Kabataan Awards and Recognition (OSKAR) in the Highly Urbanized City Category.

Let a copy of this Resolution be furnished SK Federation President, Honorable Cheenee F. Hoya for her information and record.
