RESOLUTION NO. 14

(Series of 2014)

A RESOLUTION STRONGLY URGING THE CITY MAYOR TO CAUSE THE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF CHRISTMAS BAZAAR AT COLUMBAN STREET

WHEREAS, a Memorandum of Agreement was engaged by the City Mayor Honorable Rolen C. Paulino with Haniah and Aliah regarding the conduct of Christmas Bazaar from October 2013 to January 15, 2014;

WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2013, “An Ordinance Temporarily Closing Portion Of Columban Street (Former Perimeter Street),  From The Corner Of Magsaysay (RM) Drive To The Corner Of Fendler Street  To Traffic Starting October 5, 2013 To January 15, 2014 As Venue For The  Olongapo City Christmas Bazaar 2013, Subject To Pertinent Laws” was also enacted, approved by the City Mayor on 18 October 2013;

WHEREAS, following the Memorandum of Agreement and the road closure ordinance wherein the effectivity of the operation of the Christmas Bazaar has already expired, it is but appropriate and timely for the City Council to urge the City Mayor for the immediate removal of the Christmas Bazaar located at Columban Street;

WHEREAS, local business establishments and local vendors who are legitimate taxpayers are also pleading for the removal of the Christmas Bazaar which has already served its purpose, since Christmas time has also already passed, and this is the time for the local businessmen to make up for the meager profit they had;

WHEREAS, the continuous operation of the Night Market/Christmas Bazaar on a non-yuletide season would cause further economic loss to local businessmen and vendors;

Con’t. Of Resolution No. 14, Series of 2014.
