A RESOLUTION COMMENDING OUTGOING CITY COUNCILOR EDWIN J. PIANO FOR HIS INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS AS A PUBLIC OFFICIAL AND A THREE-TERMER CITY COUNCILOR FOR CY 2001-2010

WHEREAS, Councilor Edwin J. Piano, a former OFW, Ship Repair Facility and USN Public Works Center employee and one of the thousands of volunteers who protected and preserved the former Subic Naval Base which led to the creation of Subic Bay Freeport, was first elected city councilor in 2001;

WHEREAS, his career can be described as a career characterized by hard work, legislative savvy and selfless dedication to public service. It is a shining example of how a Councilor’s innovativeness and practical skills can be successfully parlayed into the concrete enhancement of the lives of his constituents and the progress of his community and country;

WHEREAS, believing that a councilor’s duties to the people go beyond mere legislative work, Councilor Piano voluntarily assumed other responsibilities that have a direct impact on the welfare of the community. He formally organized and led thousands of volunteers in rendering a wide range of community services. He set up and now heads the Olongapo Skills Development and Employment Center, while he is one of the pillars of the Subic Bay Information Technology Council. Councilor Piano is also very active in the development of the youth where he is in the executive board of scouting movement in Olongapo City and the most senior member of the community college’s board of trustees;

WHEREAS, his greatest accomplishment is his effective use of his legislative sagacity and skills in crafting timely and necessary laws that respond to the needs of the community where he holds the most number of legislations passed; and his willingness to work even beyond the confines of the legislative halls, without any compensation, to make sure that these laws make their intended positive impact on the lives of the people;

WHEREAS, Councilor Piano significantly contributed in the winning of Olongapo Sanggunian as first runner-up in the Department of the Interior and Local Government Search for the Most Outstanding Sangguniang and the winning of Olongapo Skills Training Center in the TESDA Kabalikat Award;

WHEREAS, with his three-term of meritorious service, City Councilor Edwin J. Piano has shown unselfish dedication and invaluable performance that led to being awarded The Outstanding Councilor of the Philippines (TOCP) given by the Philippine Councilors League (PCL) in partnership with the Junior Chamber International (JCI) and the office of Senator Edgardo J. Angara;

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 commend, as it hereby commends outgoing City Councilor Edwin J. Piano for his invaluable contributions as a public official and a three-termer City Councilor for CY 2001-2010.

WHEREAS, ‘Kuya Elmo’ as he is fondly called by his colleagues and friends, is a natural leader, a businessman turned politician, a man of substance with the sincere desire to uphold the common good, truly befits the description;

WHEREAS, in a pause to his political journey, the City of Olongapo lauds the man for his untiring efforts and devotion to his duties as a City Councilor, who will be missed by the Sangguniang Panlungsod Members and staff with whom he established a bond of friendship;

(Series Of 2010)

A RESOLUTION COMMENDING OUTGOING CITY VICE-MAYOR CYNTHIA GREGORIO-CAJUDO FOR HER 30 YEARS OF MERITORIOUS, DEDICATED AND OUTSTANDING SERVICE AS A PUBLIC OFFICIAL

WHEREAS, the ideal public servant is a person that puts the welfare of others first and foremost in public service. A person that has dedicated her life to the service of the people and whose integrity remained unquestionable throughout the years. A person whose achievements have not happened by chance but through vision, dedication, leadership, and hard work that she put into building solid reputation throughout the community. A person who have set aside her more lucrative professional career in order to serve the public. Public service is not an easy task and is not for all people. A public servant must carry with her a genuine heart to serve her constituents and the dedication to change lives for the better;

WHEREAS, Vice –Mayor Cynthia Cajudo is the ideal public servant. For 30 years she dedicated most of her life to public service. She has started a lot of advocacies that is not only aimed at serving her constituents in general but for particular marginalized sectors of the society. These are the war veterans and senior citizens, the youth and the women sectors. Her work has uplifted the lives of these individuals not only in providing them with the needed government support for their livelihood but also in protecting their rights against neglect and abuse. Vice-Mayor Cynthia’s advocacy for the war veterans and senior citizens may have stemmed from her lifelong dedication to her parents. Long after her loving parents were gone, she continually shows her love for her parents by serving the senior citizens through various projects and advocacies resulting into the passage of resolutions that gave benefits to them. In addition to the basic rights of the senior citizens, the World War II veterans who are senior citizens themselves have received support from the Vice Mayor. The women sector that is vulnerable to poverty, abuse, and deprivation has gotten a strong ally that fought for their rights, gave them opportunities, protected them from abuse and contributed a lot in improving their lives. The youth sector that are often neglected and exposed to abuse, bad influences, and lack of opportunities also received the needed support from the advocacies of the Vice Mayor;

WHEREAS, the public life of Vice Mayor Cajudo is all but a reflection of her personal life. Despite her successes in her political career affording her power and privilege, Vice Mayor Cajudo continue to lead a simple and frugal lifestyle. Her dedication to her family has produced three exceptional off springs including Olongapo’s Civil Registrar and Olongapo’s City Dentist. She has also dedicated her life in serving the Lord and continues to spread that influence to all people that she encounters. In the dirty world of politics where corruption, influence peddling, scandals and other acts that tarnish the good reputation of public service, Vice Mayor Cajudo is a shining example of an honest to goodness public servant. The City of Olongapo is forever grateful to the service of this honorable lady and she will remain in the hearts of Olongapeños forever;

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 commend, as it hereby commends Outgoing City Vice-Mayor Cynthia Gregorio-Cajudo For Her 30 Years Of Meritorious, Dedicated and Outstanding Service As A Public Official.

RESOLVED FURTHER, AS IT IS HEREBY FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this Resolution be furnished City Vice-Mayor, Hon. Cynthia G. Cajudo, for her record.

WHEREAS, the City Government of Olongapo known for its innovative and responsive legislation enacted various ordinances and resolutions to include an ordinance on animal care and protection, responsible pet ownership, as well as sanitation and cleanliness relative to pet maintenance;

WHEREAS, the need for a more comprehensive and integrated law specific to animals has become imperative in response to the clamor for more updated provisions and penalties for effectiveness and efficiency;

WHEREAS, dogs, which are stray, unleashed and/or not confined, pose a public health hazard as exemplified by the intolerable incidence of rabies caused by dog bites;

WHEREAS, study was able to establish that animals which are let loose are the number one carriers of diseases. Among the common ailments transmitted by dogs, cats and other animals to human are skin diseases, colds, and those, caused by parasites and bacteria and one most important is rabies;

WHEREAS, stray animals especially those which are always roaming in the streets posed imminent danger and records show that many passersby turn victims of stray dogs that scour for food on trashes in plastic bags and containers filled-up for collection;

WHEREAS, it has been established that the dog population in the country is 70million. In Olongapo City, dog population has risen from 5,000 in 1998 to about 7,000 or more in 2005. Those roaming the streets have alarmingly increased which indicates that existing ordinances on stray animals are complete failure.

WHEREAS, upon investigation and interview with the Barangay Officials, one of the causes of the failure of Ordinance No. 30, Series of 1998 was the inability of the Barangay to sustain the cost of food of these animals under their care when owners failed to redeem them, the lack of training of the Barangay Dog Catcher and mostly failure of the owners to be a responsible pet owner.

WHEREAS, Section 458(4)(viii) of the Republic Act No. 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code at 1991, grants power to the City Council of each city to regulate the keeping of animals in homes or as a part of a business;

WHEREAS, it is the bounded duty of the City Council to safeguard public health by regulating the possession, ownership and/or keeping of dogs or stray animals.

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of City Councilor Edwin J. Piano, with the unanimous accord of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present,
