RESOLUTION NO. 44
(Series of 2010)

A RESOLUTION DEMANDING SUBIC BAY METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY (SBMA) TO CONSTRUCT A JETTY TO PREVENT CLOGGING AT THE MOUTH OF KALAKLAN RIVER

WHEREAS, the Olongapo City Government acquired a dredging machine for the de-clogging of Olongapo City waterways and started to dredge Kalaklan River;

WHEREAS, the dredging of Kalaklan River proved to be futile because Subic Bay’s natural flow causes the sand to buildup at the mouth of Kalaklan River, and the continuing reclamation project at Moonbay Marina has worsened the situation;

WHEREAS, a study conducted by experts in flood control suggests that a jetty must be constructed at both sides of Kalaklan River to prevent the dredged materials from returning to the mouth of Kalaklan River and the same from Moonbay Marina reclamation from clogging the river’s mouth;

WHEREAS, the city government of Olongapo thru the CDF of Senator Richard Gordon has completed the jetty construction at its side and requested SBMA to construct a jetty on their side as part of their social responsibility. To date, SBMA has not acted on the said request;

WHEREAS, the recent flooding is unprecedented in the history of the city and flood experts concluded that the Moonbay Marina Project which Olongapo strongly opposed, devoid of ECC and Environmental Impact Statement and has not been approved by DENR must be immediately stopped and mitigating measures be placed;

WHEREAS, the City Government thru the City Council deems it necessary to insist that SBMA, through its Honorable Chairman Feliciano Salonga and Administrator Armand Arreza, to construct a jetty at their side of the mouth of Kalaklan River;

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of City Councilor Edwin J. Piano, 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 demand, as it hereby demands that Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) to construct a jetty to prevent clogging at the mouth of Kalaklan River.

Let copies of this Resolution be furnished to SBMA, DENR, DPWH and Moonbay Marina for their information and record.

APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, June 02, 2010.
