Committee Report
Councilor Aquino reported to the body that he represented the City in the PNP Anti-Illegal Drugs Campaign/Forum in Region III last January 23, 2004 with Barangay Captains of Pag-asa, Sta. Rita, Kababae and Col. Maddela.
PDGP Gen. Edgar Aglipay stood as the guest speaker of the said affair. The Councilor was so glad to tell that Olongapo noted the lowest drug-related case record. The highest was garnered by the provinces of Pampanga, Bulacan and Nueva Ecija.
Councilor Aquino also shared that he attended the meeting of the Peace and Order Council at Holiday Inn, Clarkfield, Pampanga last January 27, 2004. A number of generals from the Philippine Army, Philippine Marines and PNP of Region III and three (3) governors from Central Luzon also attended the said gathering. Classified reports regarding NPA operations in the Region will be submitted to the Mayor.
Councilor Capistrano announced that Barangay West Bajac-Bajac received the Most Child Friendly Award for three consecutive years, yet it was not declared to get the much coveted Hall of Fame award. It was so because our average declined to 97 and thus did not reach the national competition standard.
The Presiding Officer reasoned, that it is still a blessing in disguise, since we are not yet disqualified for the competition next year. Besides the evaluating committee may have other policies/criteria for the said Hall of Fame award.
Councilor Capistrano hoped that we will still get the first rank and the one million peso - cash prize.
Vice-Mayor Cajudo also notified the body that another competition named as “Bright Child” is being launched through the joint efforts of the Health, Social Welfare and Education Departments and other government agencies.
SK Federation President Buenafe reported that last January 26, 2004, she attended the research for Junior Regional Police Director in Camp Olivas. In the panel interview portion of the said gathering, the questions were more on the present political situation of the country.
When asked what she answered on the said inquiry, the SK President relayed that she was asked regarding FPJ’s disqualification issues due to his citizenship. She aired that one can only be a president when he/she is a natural born Filipino and if his/her parents are Filipinos.
Councilor Capistrano informed the body regarding an incident where they had apprehended a number of boys who are rugby-users. When checked, they had PREDA I.D.’s. He inferred, then, that the said boys were seemingly protected and used by Cullen for his personal endeavors.
The Presiding Officer requested the Councilor to put this incident into formal writing and if possible secure photographs, so that they will not be accused of creating stories.
Vice Mayor Cajudo added that they may have been using this to have a film about rugby boys and use this to ask assistance from international agencies which Cullen had done before. He even produced it in CD format.
Councilor Elane reported on Subicwater’s assessment on the status of our water supply and its sources, to wit :
Significant decline in the flow rate in the water sources in the City and the Freeport has been observed in the most recent week, the old dam of the City dropped by 77% cubic meter per day, while the new dam fell by 31% which total 17, 957 cubic meter per day.
This means that even though Subicwater does all it can to provide the City with the best quality of potable water to drink and endeavor to deepen our river sources of water, we still need to energize our water conservation campaigns.
