Committee Report
Councilor Manglicmot shared to the body his feedback on the consultative workshop conducted by the World Bank which he attended last February 10, 2004 at Makati City. The said workshop is all about the study on decentralization of service delivery of local government units. Inorder to develop our ability to source revenue, one of the facets of the said workshop, we need to capitalize on information technology, he said. The Councilor enjoined Councilor Piano to be of assistance in this regard.
Further, Councilor Manglicmot noted that it is now high time for the City to conduct an inventory and titling of real properties through a registration drive/campaign to be conducted in coordination with the Registry of Deeds. He also recommended that the said office (Registry of Deeds) be transferred within the City Hall premises. This will significantly help increase local government revenues on real properties and pave way for other sources of taxation.
The Councilor also turned over the textbook “Philippine Decentralization and Service Delivery Study” to the Council and furnished the Office of the City Mayor through City Administrator Liza Zavalla some reference materials on this regard.
On his next report, Councilor Manglicmot called the attention of Councilor Atienza regarding some concerns on the pole rentals pursuant to Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2004 which imposes a rental fee of Php250 per PUD pole used by CATV and PILTEL.
He inquired of the inclusion of the provision on the said Ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the user , since the National Electrification Agency (NEA) prescribes in Resolution No. 60, Series of 1993 the rental of not more than Php180 per pole per year. The prevailing rate in Region 3 is even lower at Php 108 per pole per year depending on the size and weight of cable attachment to the pole.
Councilor Atienza replied that he needed to research if the City’s PUD is confined within NEA rules and later aired his opinion that it is better for the City to authorize the City Mayor to negotiate with the said companies regarding the pole rentals instead of providing one resolution for all. Once negotiations are settled, another resolution will be approved.
Councilor Paulino, reported that last February 9, 2004, he witnessed a house about 3 : 00 a.m. at Elicano St., East Bajac-Bajac. Through a call with the KHG Fire rescue team, that came just on time, the fire was immediately declared under control. One person was rushed to the hospital. Councilor Rexy Cruz was also present on the said incident.
Councilor Elane shared to the body of his participation in welcoming the delegation of Lakbay-Aral from Capiz last February 10, 2004. The said delegation is composed of barangays officials, captains and other leaders. He is with Councilors Aquino, Asuncion, Andrada and Cruz
Councilor Elane also mentioned that he represented the City Mayor in welcoming the graduating high school students from public schools in a Guidance and Counseling Program for secondary school students. Through its coordination with the Head of Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Zambales District, the students were briefed on what courses they are to take after graduation.
