WHEREAS, the United States and the Philippines will co-sponsor the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) Voluntary Demonstration of Response (VDR) and Relief Exercises, a well-planned and organized humanitarian activity on May 4 to 6, 2009 in the city. The ARF-VDR is a robust civilian-led, military-supported activity designed to demonstrate ARF national capabilities in response to an affected nation's request for assistance;

Contributing nations include Australia, European Union, Indonesia, Japan, Mongolia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Singapore, China, Sri Lanka, and the USA. As of now, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, India, Malaysia, and Russia plan to observe. The Philippines and the United States are co-sponsoring the activity;

WHEREAS, as the pioneer host country, the Philippines will be setting the tone for similar future activities;

WHEREAS, the country will benefit not only from the lessons learned from the inter-operability coordination in disaster relief, but also from the various civilian-military projects, which will include the reconstruction of school buildings, construction of a bridge, installation of a water system, and the medical treatment of approximately 8,000 local residents in the area by multinational medical and engineering teams;

WHEREAS, delegates from the United States who will join the said forum will be US Ambassador for ASEAN Scot Marciel as well as Lieutenant General Keith J. Stalder, Commander of US Marine Corps Forces Pacific;

WHEREAS, the VDR and Relief Exercises also embody the conduct of a Medical Civic Action Program (MEDCAP), to attend to the medical needs of thousands of residents in key barangays of the City;

WHEREAS, the City stands fortunate for being the direct beneficiary of the said program and commends the contingents from the 27 countries from the Asia-Pacific region for leaving a positive difference in the hearts of the Olongapo community by their wholehearted service and random acts of kindness, for which the City is exceedingly grateful for;

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 the contingents of the 27 countries of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) Voluntary Demonstration of Response (VDR) and Relief Exercises for their significant contributions in the City of Olongapo.

RESOLUTION NO. 37
(Series of 2007)

A RESOLUTION COMMENDING LT. GENERAL ROMEO B. DOMINGUEZ FOR HIS EXEMPLARY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY


WHEREAS, one of the finest men of PMA Class 1971, Lt. General Romeo B. Dominguez, AFP has distinguished himself in almost all military operations, both administrative and tactical in his varied assignments;

WHEREAS, a frontliner, he earned his stars in the field, battled as one of the Special Forces Company which sent him to lead teams in Cagayan Valley and Central Mindanao in the 70s. He was also a battalion commander in Central Luzon when the government implemented the AFP Counter-Insurgency Plan “Lambat Bitag” which eventually cramped NPAS’ nationwide strength from the 80s to the 90s;

WHEREAS, such major accomplishments brought about honor to his motherland, distinction in his assignments as well as promotion on his rank;

WHEREAS, born in Naga and reared in Olongapo City, Lt. General Dominguez graduated as salutatorian of Class 1967 of the Olongapo City National High School, hurdled the groves of the academe as he finished the academic requirements of Master in Public and Business Management as well as Master of Accountancy and as a thin red liner, he represented the AFP in various seminars abroad;



Con’t. of Resolution No. 37, Series of 2007.

- 2 -
WHEREAS, entrusted with such enormous tasks on his hand as an officer and a gentleman, Lt. General Dominguez guarded his crusade against the growing politization of the military and duplicity of the AFP chain of command. When he had sensed it is time for him to go, he opted to resign from his post as Commander of the Northern Luzon Command, the umbrella headquarters in command and in control of about 10,000 troops from all the three major service commands: Army, Air Force and Navy, deployed in Luzon North and Metro Manila, months before his compulsory retirement;

WHEREAS, his integrity, reverence to his sworn duty and the value-laden principles he embraced as a soldier merit the admiration of his community as one of the most decorated officers of his class;

WHEREAS, even in his retirement, Romeo, as he is fondly called, never stopped to be a crusader but view it as an avenue to intensify his advocacy for meaningful reforms in the AFP and credible conduct of elections;

WHEREAS, the City salutes the man for his social conscience, strong sense of purpose and excellent track record for which he is conferred the “Ulo ng Apo Career Award Achievement of Excellence”. He indeed made the City proud of his accomplishments;

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of Councilor Cynthia G. Cajudo, with the unanimous accord of the Members of Sangguniang Panlungsod present;

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled, to commend, as it hereby commends Lt. General Romeo B. Dominguez for his exemplary accomplishments and contributions to the community.
