RESOLUTION NO. 34

(Series of 2010)

A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING PROFOUND SYMPATHIES TO THE BEREAVED FAMILY OF FORMER BARANGAY GORDON HEIGHTS’ BARANGAY CAPTAIN DAMIAN P. DELOS SANTOS, JR.

WHEREAS, the City of Olongapo laments the death of a friend and a good leader in former Barangay Captain Damian P. Delos Santos who was taken in our midst out of one’s reckoning and joined our Creator on April 22, 2010 at the age of 65;

WHEREAS, as a great and effective leader who knew community service, the value of hardwork and the reward of putting others before oneself, he was known to be strict and serious with his duties and responsibilities when at work, but beyond the four corners of his office he was a good and humble friend to many;

WHEREAS, Brgy. Capt. Damian Delos Santos who hailed from Bicol, a former school principal at Camarines Sur, came to the City of Olongapo not by chance but by the lure of work at the former U.S. Naval Base in the 1960s and became a resident of Barangay Gordon Heights. From then on, he had established a consistent public service track record starting as Barangay Secretary in 1968, and in the barangay election of 1978, he had his first stint as barangay captain of Gordon Heights. The EDSA revolution in 1986 temporarily put his service to a halt. He was brought back to office in the snap election of 1986 and served as barangay captain up to CY 2007. He last served the city as Market Supervisor from CY 2007 until his untimely demise;

WHEREAS, a true public servant with an understanding of commitment and a reputation for setting goals and accomplishing them, Captain “Jun” or “Manoy” as he was dearly called, will be remembered in his very own Barangay Gordon Heights for the countless developments he initiated during his term as the barangay captain. These includes the construction of the present barangay hall which they named as ‘Bantayog ng Pagkakaisa’ which Capt. Jun boldly and painstakingly aimed to be built through their barangay IRA funds. Furthermore, water tanks were placed as part of the development of springs in the barangay, as well as deep wells were placed in upland areas. These became the water source in areas not reached by Subicwater lines;

WHEREAS, serving dedicatedly in Barangay Gordon Heights, Capt. Damian pushed to have the barangay be recognized as a Class ‘A’ residential area through the development of major thoroughfares and roads, and the utmost delivery of basic services to its constituents;

WHEREAS, Capt. Damian, married to Ms. Evelyn Delos Santos and were blessed with 6 children was dearly remembered as a responsible, loving and nurturing husband and father;

WHEREAS, the City of Olongapo shares in the grief of both the Delos Santos family and of Barangay Gordon Heights for having lost a remarkable man;

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 express, as it hereby expresses profound sympathies to the bereaved family of former Barangay Gordon Heights’ Barangay Captain Damian P. Delos Santos, Jr.

Let a copy of this resolution be furnished the bereaved family of the late Barangay Captain Damian P. Delos Santos, Jr. for their information and record.

APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, April 27, 2010.
