JOHN G. BONGATCity Mayor

Naga City has come a long way. From triumphs in the fields of governance, education, agriculture, business, and other human enterprises, we continue to build milestones in our day-to-day engagements as members of the community even as we look forward to more growth in various sectors for the general welfare and benefit of the people of Naga.

Alongside with these developments, abreast with the changing times, the City Government of Naga never fails to respond to more challenges that affect every Nagueno. The responsibilities that are being demanded are accordingly being instituted through executive orders, resolutions, ordinances, and other legislative measures that are meant to ensure the well-being and security of every Nagueno, as well as promote his/her values and inspire growth and development for our beloved City of Naga.

In this new edition of the Naga City Gazette, the January- June 2018 Issue, we collated the executive issuances, ordinances and resolutions passed and approved by both the executive and legislative arms of the local government unit of Naga for maximum information and guidance, effective and efficient implementation, and faithful observance by all concerned.

With this gazette, we always want to keep you, our constituents, informed and thus uphold the values of transparency and good governance because we always consider you as collaborators of the whole process of policy-making and governance. We firmly believe that people can only become more assertive and effective as participants when they are made aware of their roles, as well as their rights, as members of the whole community.

With this, we always look forward to a well-informed citizenry that actively participates and involves in addressing the concerns in our beloved City of Naga— making it a truly Maogmang Lugar!


Our Maogmang Lugar celebrates its Platinum Anniversary this year. Throughout its existence, Naga has evolved from a laid-back provincial urban area to a vibrant and dynamic regional commercial hub. At the social front, the city’s colorful history has been enriched by national and international recognitions on best practices in people-centered local governance.

This unparalleled progress of our city is thanks to the collaborative efforts and indomitable spirit of the Nagueňos. We acknowledge the value of strategic and strong private-public partnership and act as a unified team for the sustainable development of Naga. We also share the same commitment not to rest on laurels but to continue to strive in making the best better.

Being representatives of the people, the 12th Sangguniang Panlungsod is conscious in embodying and reflecting in our works the collective sentiment of the Nagueňos. As such, it can be observed that the ordinances and resolutions published in this Gazette are geared towards improving existing programs, ensuring that they are relevant to modern times and are responsive to present public necessities. For instance, the Empowerment aNd Advancement of Barangays in Local Legislation (ENABL2E) Program, introduced by yours truly, has been revised under Ordinance No. 2018-029 to expand its scope to include the now reformed Sangguniang Kabataan.

Indeed, passage of time and, along with it, the rise of new challenges are inevitable. But similarly natural and unstoppable is Naga’s tradition of cooperation, attitude for excellence and genuine heart for public service. We are confident, therefore, that, hand-in-hand, as we go beyond the city’s 70 years of tale, we shall continually soar to greater heights.

A FULL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR TERTIARY

EDUCATION AND CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

AS A MECHANISM TO HELP ENSURE READY AVAILABILITY OF PROFESSIONALS NEEDED BY THE CITY GOVERNMENT

OF NAGA FOR THE EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF MUCH NEEDED

SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE OF NAGA CITY

ENACTED: June 26, 2018

The deep concern over the fact that our country is suffering a crippling brain drain with many of our most talented and qualified workers heading overseas for higher-paid employment has been raised some forty (40) years ago and continues at an alarming rate. Scientists, engineers, doctors, IT Specialists, accountants, and even teachers are among the English-speaking talent heading to foreign lands, leaving employers scrambling to find replacements. But Filipinos who choose to leave the country in search of greater opportunities for development can never be faulted as it is human nature to seek improvement and better quality of life.

This on-going crisis affect most especially government service where salary levels remain generally uncompetitive, opportunity for salary increases are very limited, and pay hike, if at all possible, has to go through the long and tedious process of national legislation.

The brain drain crisis cripples not only in terms of workers leaving the country, but also in terms of workers leaving the country-sides in favor of the metropolis. Naga City is one such country-side vis-à-vis Metro Manila as many of the City’s talents seek greener pastures in that city that never sleeps. This is particularly ironic in the face of the fact that the rapidly-growing complexities of society require greater capabilities from government to effectively respond to the needs of the community.

One glaring example of this debilitating crisis that City now experiences is the difficulty in finding and enlisting the engineers

needed to do the work long needed to have been done such as the Master Drainage Plan. The continuing lack in terms of regular enforcement of building laws and regulations have been attributed by the City Engineer to the City Engineering Office’s lack of needed personnel. Verily, there is an urgent need for strategies to effectively address this brain drain crisis and work around the limitations that may make the solution seem unreachable.

This Ordinance is hoped to be one such strategy.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

By virtue of Ordinance No. 2014-008, the City Government of Naga implemented in 2014 to 2016 the Empowerment and Advancement of Barangays on Local LEgislation (ENABL2E) Program to enhance barangay officials’ competence and effectiveness in performing their duties, particularly in crafting relevant legislations and rational regulatory policies. The principles of transparency, accountability and people-participation were also inculcated to them so as to improve delivery of basic social services, eliminate corruption, red tape and patronage politics, and, ultimately, eradicate poverty and uplift the Nagueňos’ quality of life.

In the conduct of the said program, however, some rooms for improvement have been observed that can be addressed by providing additional mechanisms and amending some of the guidelines provided in Ordinance No. 2014-008. Further, the new set of officials for the Sangguniang Kabataan has already been elected, causing another impetus to revise the existing ordinance and expand its scope to cover the capacity building of this new breed of leaders.

Thus, this ordinance, crafted thru the inputs of the Outstanding Sangguniang Barangay Awards Committee and the suggestions of barangay officials themselves aired thru various consultation meetings, is now being introduced and which enactment is being earnestly sought.

BE IT ORDAINED, therefore, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod

Through this mechanism, barangay officials and SK officers will be educated on their functions, responsibilities and powers as legislators of their respective barangay.

Legislative procedures, including some of the technicalities involved in establishing a quorum, conducting committee and public hearings and enacting resolutions and ordinances, will also be taught in this seminar.

2018-028ORDINANCE DECLARING THE MONTH OF JULY AS PERSONS

WITH DISABILITY MONTH IN THE CITY OF NAGA

Sponsor:Hon. Elmer S. Baldemoro


EXPLANATORY NOTE

Persons with Disability are facing difficulties every single day. Though their strong will, happy disposition in life and prayerful soul allow them to surpass trials thrown at them, still the government must provide necessary time and investments to ease their burden, protect their rights and, as much as possible, give emphasis on the advancement of their collective interests.

Given the above, it is imperative that the city government allocates a special month for the PWDs to ensure that their needs are given enough attention. The month of July, being the birth month of a distinguished hero and well-known PWD, the Sublime Paralytic, Apolinario Mabini, is believed to be the opportune period for such purpose. Pursuant to Proclamation No. 361, the third week of July of each year is hailed as the National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Week. Extending this week-long national celebration into a whole month will pave way for more activities to be sponsored and held at the grass-root level towards the improvement of the overall quality of life of PWDs.

Hence, this ordinance is being proposed for enactment.

BE IT ORDAINED, therefore, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Naga, in session duly-assembled that:

SECTION 1. TITLE. This ordinance, for brevity, shall be known as the PWD Month Ordinance of Naga City.

SECTION 2. PWD MONTH. The whole month of July of every year is hereby declared as Persons with Disability Month in the City of Naga.



SECTION 3. MANDATE. To give life to the spirit of this local law, the Persons with Disabilities Affairs Office (PDAO) is hereby tasked to:

1. Craft, in close coordination with all Barangay Federations for Persons with Disabilities, a plan and schedule of activities for uplifting the lives and promoting the welfare of PWDs which will be held for the whole stretch of the month of July of each year;

2. Take the lead in the successful implementation of the aforementioned plan and schedule of activities;

3. Coordinate and partner with other departments of the city government, agencies of the national government and the private sector to ensure the successful implementation of the aforementioned plan and schedule of activities; and,

4. Include in their office’s annual budget proposal the amount needed for the successful implementation of the aforementioned plan and schedule of activities

SECTION 4. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. Any provision or portion of this ordinance found to be unconstitutional or invalid shall not impair the other provisions or parts thereof which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

SECTION 5. REPEALING CLAUSE. Any or all ordinances, rules and regulations which are inconsistent or in conflict with the provision of this ordinance are hereby repealed and modified accordingly.

SECTION 6. EFFECTIVITY. This ordinance shall take effect upon its approval.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

No less than the Fundamental Law of the Land, through its Article II, Section 13, recognizes the vital role that the young members of the community perform in nation-building. Thus, the Fundamental Law of the Land mandates upon the State to promote and protect the physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being of young people and to inculcate in them the values of patriotism and encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs;

In the City of Naga, the foregoing Constitutional mandate is fulfilled through policies and programs that support and promote the development and quality of life of young people not only by ensuring their access to quality education but also by providing various learning opportunities and experience beyond the confines of the classroom. Among these policies and programs is the City Youth Officials (CYO) Program institutionalized through Ordinance No. 2007-008 and enhanced under Ordinance No. 2012-035.

The City Youth Officials Program of the City Government of Naga provides the nagueno youth, 15 to 24 years old, a year-long platform for learning the ropes and experience first-hand the nitty-gritty of local government administration both from the legislative and the executive points of view.

Inspired by the trailblazing and out-of-the box style of management by the late City Mayor and DILG Secretary Jesse M. Robredo, the CYO Program has been running for over two (2) decades now. Despite the absence of any tool to measure the concrete result of the program, the presence of exemplary employees and officials of the City Government who were part of the CYO Program in their tender years is a testimony of the success of this Program. But, as the saying goes, the road to excellence never ends and that therefore the bar of performance must continually be raised. Thus, this ordinance.

IN PURSUANCE OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY and transparency thrust of the city government which is a primordial element in making intelligent decisons not only among policymakers, but more so among the constituents and other stakeholders who are a�er all the reason for Naga’s existence, City Mayor John G. Bongat ordered the publication of the city’s o�cial gazette which shall henceforth serve as the journal of the city goverment.

As such, the Naga City O�cial Gazette will publish (1) all important LEGISLATIVE acts and resolutions of the Sangguniang Panlungsod which are public in nature; (2) all executive and administrative orders and proclamations, except those having no general applicability; (3) such documents or classes of documents as may be required so to published by law; and (4) such documents or classes of documents as the City Mayor of the Sanggunian shall determine from time to time to have general applicability and legal e�ect, or which they may authorize so to published.

Additionally, o�cial reports, researches, paper presentations, including copies of privilege speeches and o�cial communication and correspondence, as may be deemed urgent for the public to know, may also be given space. �e furtherance of transparency, accountability and unrestrained public debate and discussion as hallmarks of good governance and true democracy will be the primary goal of this publication.

“Gazette” comes from the word gazetta, a Venetian coin used to buy early Italian newspapers. �e word later on was loaned into English to describe a newspaper.

In came to be used for an o�cial goverment paper with the creation of the London Gazette, �rst published in 1665 under the title of �e Oxford Gazette.

In the Philippines, the O�cial Gazette �rst appeared on August 23, 1898, ten days a�er the Battle of Manila when the Spanish surrendered to the Americans. Since then, it became an American era periodical. Today, the Gazette is traditionally referred to as the o�cial organ of the Philippine government.

Naga City, for its part, is once more breaking through a new era where new city administration promises to make good governance even better.
