At this juncture, TPO Ungab directed the SP Secretary to change the status of

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Councilor J. Melchor B. Quitain Jr.

Item No. 1486

At the request of Councilor Myrna G. L'Dalodo-Ortiz, TPO Ungab directed the SP

Secretary to change her status from absent to present, which was duly noted.

Upon verification from the Sanggunian Secretary that the Barangay Secretary of
Barangay 7-A was in attendance, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented a motion, duly
seconded by Councilor J.M. Bonguyan, to convert the Body into the Committee of the
Whole.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

In response to the question of the proponent whether the Barangay has already
secured proof of ownership from government agencies as suggested by the Sanggunian
Members, the Barangay Secretary of Barangay 7-A manifested that, on February 11,
2022, Kagawad Reynaldo Italio talked to the President of Dacudao Homesettlers
Association who apparently agreed to give a copy of the Deed of Donation.
Consequently, Kag. Italio suggested not to send yet the letters to the City Planning and
Development Office and to the Register of Deeds.

When Councilor Mahipus asked if the Barangay already passed a Resolution

declaring the San Jose covered court as a multi-purpose facility, the Barangay Secretary
answered that they approved such Resolution during the Barangay Council’s February
7, 2022 regular session. Councilor Mahipus then suggested to the Barangay to revisit
the proposal as the City is approaching the end of the pandemic.

Councilor Quitain Jr. presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilor Braga, to

revert to the plenary. Since there are concerns that need to be addressed, the
proponentpresented a motion, duly seconded by Councilor Braga, to defer Item No.
1486 to the next regular session which was carried.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 Due to the necessity of budgetary matters, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented a
motion, duly seconded by Councilor Braga, to take up Item Nos. 1664, 1665 and 1667
ahead of the other items.

BUSINESS FOR THE DAY

Councilor Danilo C. Dayanghirang

Item No. 1664

At the onset, Councilor Dayanghirang explained that Item No. 1664 refers to City
Development Council (CDC) Resolution No. 04, Series of 2022, favorably endorsing to
the Honorable Members of the City Council the proposals as First Addendum to the
Local Development Investment Program (LDIP) CY 2022-2024. All proposals,
according to him, should be incorporated in the LDIP and the Annual Investment
program (AIP) which should be ascertained to be consistent with the vision of the City
as embodied in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2013-2022. If there is any
adjustment in the budget, the LDIP must also be amended.

The Proposed Projects in this First Addendum to the Local Development

Investment Program (LDIP), for CY 2022-2024, covers a total amount of FOUR
HUNDRED NINETEEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND PESOS
(PHP 419,790,000.00), consisting the Non-Infrastructure and Infrastructure Projects.

After stating that the Committee on Finance, Ways and Means and
Appropriations favorably recommends the approval and adoption of all the
programs/projects and activities under the First Addendum to the Local Development
Investment Program (LDIP) 2022-2024, Councilor Dayanghirang presented a motion,
duly seconded by Councilors Braga, Al-ag, Baluran and L'Dalodo-Ortiz, for the approval
of the Committee Report.

TPO Ungab took a moment to direct the SP Secretary to change the status of
Councilor Jesus Joseph P. Zozobrado III from absent to present, which was duly noted.

Before the Chair ruled on the motion, Councilor Mahipus asked for a more
itemized presentation of the budget. The proponent expounded that the figures stated
in the LDIP were just adjusted consistent with the proposed budget. The General Fund
Proper occupies the biggest pie with an appropriation of P325,313,012.71 or 77.495%
of the total budget. This includes appropriation for CY 2021 Gratuity Pay of 20,341
Job Order and Contract of Services employees under the General Fund Proper at P5,000
each in the total amount of P101,705,000.00, CY 2022 Financial Assistance to
125,344 Senior Citizens at P1,500 amounting to P188,016,000.00, as payment of
Prior Year’s Obligation and others.

The Development Fund came in next with an appropriation of P93,779,162.05 or

equivalent to 22.340% of the total budget, which provide among others, additional
appropriation for Land Acquisition for the Resettlement Areas at Barangay Langub,
Talomo District, amounting to P55,892,500.00 and Solid Waste Management Program –
P31,000,000.00, both projects under the Non-Infrastructure Projects in the total
amount of P86,892,500.00. Infrastructure Projects has a total amount of
P6,886,662.05, distributed to: 1) Proposed Gate and Perimeter Fencing at Ma-a
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce FEBRUARY 15, 2022/7th Regular Session of the 19th Sangguniang Panlungsod in 2022 Page 6 of 29
Slaughterhouse Complex – P6,100,000.00, 2) Magtuod Water System 3 Km. from
Brgy. Langub Talomo District- P392,539.05 and 3) Deep Well Level II Barangay Waan,
Buhangin District – P394,123.00.

Following the detailed explanation of the proponent, Councilor Mahipus

manifested that he will affix his signature on the Committee Report for Item Nos. 1664,
1665 and 1667 and registered his co-sponsorship to said items.

At this stage, Councilor Abella presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilor

Zozobrado III, to convert the Body into the Committee of the Whole.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

When Councilor Abella asked whether the Lasang Publlic Market is a City-owned
Real Property, Engr. Ivan C. Cortez, Department Head, City Planning and Development
Office (CPDO) suggested that the question be directed to the City Economic Enterprise
which, unfortunately, had no representative as said office was not invited. Councilor
Abella expressed his hope that since the Lasang Public Market is among the City’s public
markets, it will be included in the development programs of public markets. Engr.
Cortez explained that they usually act on the recommendations of the Economic
Enterprise as it is the one which identifies which markets are still feasible to operate
and which ones are recommended for closure or which one will be recommended to be
managed by the private sector.

TPO Ungab reminded the Body that Lasang Public Market is now part of Agdao
Public Market Management so the budget allocated for the development of public
markets, which includes Agdao Public Market, likewise includes Lasang Public Market.

Councilor Braga thanked Engr. Cortez for providing a copy of the list of housing
projects assisted by the City and that this project of the City has really expanded.
Councilor Mahipus, who said that he is yet to receive a copy of the report, reminded
Engr. Cortez that he likewise made the same request because he wanted to make sure
that those who have fully paid the financing obligations can be assisted so that the
individual landowners can have their own titles.

Thereafter, Councilor Dayanghirang presented a motion, duly seconded by

Councilor Braga, to revert to the plenary. He then reiterated the pending motion, duly
seconded by Councilors Braga and L.J. Bonguyan; co-sponsored by Councilor Mahipus
for the approval of the Committee Report.

Duly seconded by Councilors Braga, Al-ag and Abella; co-sponsored by

Councilors Braga, L.J. Bonguyan, Abellera, Mahipus and L'Dalodo-Ortiz, the succeeding
motion for the approval of the Resolution below was carried:

Resolution No. 03345-22 APPROVING/ADOPTING THE FIRST

ADDENDUM TO THE LOCAL
DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT PROGRAM
(LDIP) 2022-2024, AS ENDORSED BY THE

Item No. 1665

Proceeding to the next item, Councilor Dayanghirang presented the Committee

Report for Item No. 1665 relative to CDC Resolution No. 03, Series of 2022, favorably
endorsing to the Honorable Members of the City Council the proposal as First
Addendum to the 2022 Annual Investment Program (AIP) which is essentially a list
of the items culled out from the LDIP to be given budget allocation. On motion of
Councilor Dayanghirang, duly seconded by Councilors Baluran, J.M. Bonguyan and
Braga; co-sponsored by Councilors Baluran, Mahipus and Abellera, for the approval
and adoption of the Committee Report. This was followed by a motion presented by
the proponent, duly seconded by Councilors Braga, J.M. Bonguyan and Abellera; co-
sponsored by Councilors Braga, Abellera, Baluran, Marohomsalic, Mahipus, L'Dalodo-
Ortiz, J.M. Bonguyan and L.J. Bonguyan, for the approval of the Resolution entitled:

Resolution No. 03346-22 APPROVING/ADOPTING THE FIRST

ADDENDUM TO THE ANNUAL
INVESTMENT PROGRAM (AIP) 2022, AS
ENDORSED BY THE CITY DEVELOPMENT
COUNCIL (CDC) THROUGH RESOLUTION
NO. 03, SERIES OF 2022

Item No. 1667

For his next item, Councilor Dayanaghirang presented Item No. 1667 relative to
the proposed Supplemental Budget No. 1, CY 2022, of the City Government of
Davao, consisting of the General Fund Proper, Development Fund and Economic
Enterprises. After stating the favorable recommendation of the committee, the
proponent presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilors Braga, Al-ag, Abellera,
Marohomsalic and L'Dalodo-Ortiz, for the approval and adoption of the Committee
Report.

Prior to the approval of the motion, Councilor Mahipus asked for the original
allocation of the surplus from Calendar Year 2021 amounting to
PHP 415,546,083.44 which is one of the sources of funds of the proposed SB1. The proponent
explained that sometimes in budgeting, there is an overestimate of the budget and the funds
become unused or surplus. He also pointed out the sources of funds as follows:

ECONOMIC

cns/hce FEBRUARY 15, 2022/7th Regular Session of the 19th Sangguniang Panlungsod in 2022 Page 8 of 29
 As reflected in the above table, there are only two [2] Sources of Funds for this
SB No.1, viz:

1. The biggest source came from the Surplus of 2021 Operations in the amount
of P415,546,083.44 or an equivalent of 99%;

2. Came in next as source of funds are appropriations coming from Reversion of

Current and Prior Year’s Appropriations in the amount of P4,241,091.32 or an
equivalent of 1%.

The Total Sources of Funds therefore amounted to P 419,787,174.76.

The proposed Supplemental Budget No. 1 for Calendar Year 2022 of the City
Government of Davao has a total appropriations of FOUR HUNDRED NINETEEN
MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED
SEVENTY-FOUR PESOS AND 76/100 (P419,787,174.76), thereby leaving no
Unappropriated Balance thereof.

The breakdown of expenses under SB 1, CY 2022 is presented below by Fund

===========

Councilor Mahipus emphasized that part of the surplus is the excess of the
collection as the City has been very efficient in the collection of taxes. He suggested
that the Members of the Sanggunian be given a chance to propose projects under the
Development Fund or be given opportunity to recommend worthwhile development
projects. When the proponent reiterated the pending motion for the approval and
adoption of the Committee Report, duly seconded by Councilors Apostol Sr., Baluran,
Abellera, Braga and J.M. Bonguyan; co-sponsored by Councilors Baluran, Mahipus,
Apostol Sr and Braga, it was carried. The following motion presented by the proponent,

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Councilor J. Melchor B. Quitain Jr.

Item No. 1645

In behalf of Councilor Bonifacio E. Militar, Chairperson of the Committee on

Housing and Subdivision Development (High-End Projects), FL Quitain Jr. presented
Item No. 1645 relative to (City Housing and Land Use Regulatory Unit) CHLURU
Resolution No. 025-21, Series of 2021, and its supporting documents, relative to the
application of Prestige Homes and Realty Development Corporation, represented by Ms.
Mariluna I. Cerbo, President, for Preliminary Approval and Locational Clearance (PALC)
of the proposed residential subdivision project GRANVILLE NORWOOD, located at Sitio
Walog, Barangay Catalunan Pequeño, Talomo District, this City.

The project has a total gross area of 24,629 square meters, more or less,
covered by Transfer Certificates of Title Nos. T-329628 and 146-2012013221. The said
parcels of land are located within Medium Density Residential Sub-Zone (R-2), Open
Space Easement Zone (OSZ) as well as Water Resource Zone (WRZ). The CHLURU
favorably endorsed the subject application. According to the Site Development Plan,
there will only be 79 units. The applicant secured Water Resource Management Council
Resolution No. 13-21 and was granted clearance. The said applicant likewise submitted
Resolution No. 07, Series of 2019 issued by the Barangay Development Council of
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce FEBRUARY 15, 2022/7th Regular Session of the 19th Sangguniang Panlungsod in 2022 Page 10 of 29
Tugbok District and Barangay Resolution No. 140A, Series of 2019, stating that
Barangay Catalunan Pequeño interposes no objection to the proposed project.

The Engineering Geological and Geohazard Assessment conducted on the project

site concluded that said project site can support the subdivision project, however,
appropriate mitigating measures must be installed. On the other hand, the assessment
report of the Philippine Institute of Volcanalogy and Seismology (Phivolcs) revealed that
the site is prone to earthquake since it is transected at the southwest portion by the
Central Davao Fault System Dacudao Fault. Moreover, the future homeowners will
have two (2) access roads going to the proposed subdivision, namely: 1) near Mintal
Church and 2) in Catalunan Pequeño. The Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) was also
submitted to the committee.

Stating the favorable recommendation of the committee, Councilor Quitain Jr.

presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilors Braga, and Baluran; co-sponsored by
Councilors Baluran and Braga, for the approval and adoption of the Committee Report.
Before the ruling on the motion, Councilor Mahipus asked for the exact location of the
project vis-à-vis the fault line mentioned. To let the representative of the applicant
participate in the discussion, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented a motion, duly seconded by
Councilors Braga and J.M. Bonguyan, to convert the Body into the Committee of the
Whole.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

Duly recognized, Arch. Rexan Rainier Cabangan, part of the technical team of
Granville Norwood screen shared the map of the proposed development. He explained
that the fault line does not traverse the area, instead, it traverses the adjacent property
south of the site. The nearest structure of the project will be more than 100 meters.
Furthermore, the EGGA and the Phivolcs Report pronounced the area as safe as long as
the minimum standards of structural design will be followed.

As for the concerns of Councilor Mahipus regarding the traffic situation, Arch.
Cabangan explained that there will only be 66 units so it will have a small impact on the
traffic. He further manifested that they will protect any existing waterway in the area.
Moreover, storm water will have its own retarding pond and another for rain water.
Councilor Mahipus reminded Arch. Cabangan that there must be interconnectability of
drainage systems so the neighbors will not be burdened with flooding due to their
project.

The architect also stated that they will be establishing green areas using endemic
local flora. Councilor Mahipus reminded the applicant that the City has an Ordinance
protecting trees. If a tree must be preserved, architectural interventions must be
introduced. With that, Councilor Mahipus signified his co-sponsorship to the item.

As a follow up on the line of questioning of Councilor Mahipus, Councilor Braga

asked if the applicant has an inventory of the trees in the area. To this, the applicant
replied that he will submit to the committee the number of trees including the number
of trees to be cut and those to be reintroduced or planted for the development.

While Councilor Baluran appreciated the plans for the project especially the
drainage system, he asked where the water will flow. Arch. Cabangan manifested that
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce FEBRUARY 15, 2022/7th Regular Session of the 19th Sangguniang Panlungsod in 2022 Page 11 of 29
the water will be channeled through their retarding pond which can cater up to 700
cubic meters which will then be discharged to Aclihan Creek. Satisfied with the
explanation, Councilor Baluran expressed his support to the item.

Since there were no further questions for the applicant, Councilor Quitain Jr.
presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilor Braga, to revert to the plenary. He
proceeded to reiterate the pending motion, duly seconded by Councilors Braga and
Baluran, for the approval of the Committee Report which was carried. Councilors Braga
and Baluran duly seconded the succeeding motion presented by Councilor Quitain Jr.
and co-sponsored by Councilors Braga, Mahipus, Abellera and Baluran, thus, the
following Resolution was approved:

BUSINESS FOR THE DAY

Councilor J. Melchor B. Quitain Jr.

Item No. 1573

As Chairperson of the Committee on Rules, Privileges, Laws and Ordinances,

Councilor Quitain Jr. presented Item No. 1573 relative to the letter of Mr. Lino E.
Pequiro Jr., Safety and Security Manager, Felcris Hotels and Resorts Corporation,
relative to his suggestion to amend Ordinance No. 111, Series of 1986, entitled “An
Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 910, Series of 1979, otherwise known as An
Ordinance Prohibiting Any Person From Urinating and/or Defecating Within the Public
View in Any Street, Alley, Highway and Any Place Within the Vicinity of Any Public
Building in Davao City and Providing Penalties in Case of Violations Thereof”. The
penalty for urinating or defacating in public view is only PP 50.00 so the suggestion is to
update it to make it in tune with the times.

The committee adopted the suggestion of the City Legal Office which is stated in its
Legal Opinion, Series of 2022, dated December 27, 2021, to include its recommendation
in the amended provisions of Section 2. Prohibited Acts, to read as follows:

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce FEBRUARY 15, 2022/7th Regular Session of the 19th Sangguniang Panlungsod in 2022 Page 12 of 29
 “SECTION 2. PROHIBITED ACTS – It shall be unlawful for any person to urinate
and/or defecate within the public view in any street, alley, highway, other public
places not intended for urination, and any place within the vicinity of any public
building and/or private building in Davao City.”

The City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) informed the
committee that there is a sufficient number of public toilets and that they plan on
adding more.

The proposed Ordinance was then presented as follows:

“AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 111, SERIES OF 1986,

OTHERWISE KNOWN AS AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO.
910, SERIES OF 1979, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS AN ORDINANCE
PROHIBITING ANY PERSON FROM URINATING AND/OR DEFECATING
WITHIN THE PUBLIC VIEW IN ANY STREET, ALLEY, HIGHWAY AND ANY
PLACE WITHIN THE VICINITY OF ANY PUBLIC BUILDING IN DAVAO CITY
AND PROVIDING PENALTIES IN CASE OF VIOLATIONS THEREOF

SECTION 1. TITLE – This Ordinance shall be known as “Anti-Urinating and/or

Defecating within Public View Ordinance”.

SECTION 2. PROHIBITED ACTS – It shall be unlawful for any person to urinate

and/or defecate within the public view in any street, alley, highway, other public
places not intended for urination, and any place within the vicinity of any public
building and/or private building in Davao City.

SECTION 3. PENAL CLAUSE – Any person violating Section 2 of this Ordinance

shall upon conviction be punished by a fine of Five-hundred (P500.00) pesos for the
first offense; a fine of One thousand (P1,000.00) pesos for the second offense; and
a fine of (P1,500.00) and/or imprisonment of not more than ten (10) days or both
at the discretion of the Court.

SECTION 4. NO CONTEST PROVISION –A violator of this Ordinance who is

cited for violation and who does not wish to contest the offense and is willing to pay
the imposed administrative penalty before the filing of formal charges with the
proper court, shall be allowed to pay a penalty of Five Hundred Pesos ( ₱500) to the
City Treasurer’s Office. This is to avoid being criminally prosecuted within three (3)
days from apprehension; otherwise, a criminal complaint shall be filed before the
City Prosecutor’s Office of Davao City and prosecuted in court. All proceeds from the
payment of the herein penalty imposed shall go to the City’s General Fund. Further,
the no contest provision can only be availed once.

SECTION 5. REPEALING CLAUSE - All ordinances, rules, orders, and regulations

or parts thereof contrary to or inconsistent with any of the provisions of this
Ordinance are hereby repealed.

SECTION 6. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE - If, for any reason, any section or

provision of this Ordinance is declared unconstitutional or invalid, other sections or
provisions hereof not affected by such declaration shall continue to be in full force
and effect.

SECTION 7. EFFECTIVITY – This Ordinance shall take effect after fifteen (15)
days following the required publication in a newspaper of general circulation.

 The motion of the proponent for the approval and adoption of the Committee
Report was duly seconded by Councilors Braga, Baluran and Villafuerte. Prior to its
approval, Councilor Braga asked if the proposed Ordinance mentions which agency will
implement the same. Since the proposed Ordinance did not mention the implementing
agency, Councilor Braga suggested that CENRO could be the one to implement the
Ordinance.

Councilor Baluran suggested to include places with no public building. The

proponent explained that the committee adopted the suggestion of the City Legal Office
which states “within the vicinity of any public building and/or private building in Davao City” to
make it all encompassing. However, Councilor Baluran suggested not to mention any building
and just state “any place in Davao City”

Councilor Villafuerte, Chairperson of the Committee on Health, informed the Body that
there is a proposed Ordinance under her committee entitled “Zero Open Defacation Ordinance”
which is more related to having toilets in every home. She was concerned with the fact that
the pandemic is still ongoing and the proposed penalties are heavy. She requested the
proponent to delay the charging of fines, instead, require the violators of the Ordinance to
attend a health related seminar. Furthermore, she requested to train Barangay Health Workers
(BHWs), barangay officers and sanitation officers of the City Health Office (CHO) to be among
those who will be deputized. She likewise expressed her agreement with the suggestion of
Councilor Baluran that the proposed Ordinance should not be limited to the vicinity of buildings
but it must include the entire jurisdiction of Davao City. TPO Abella further suggested to
include seminar as penalty for 1st offense.

Pointing out the complexity of the Ordinance, Councilor Mahipus manifested that
some residents of the City live along its shorelines where there are no septic tanks
underneath their houses. Also, there are no restrooms in the hinterlands. He
suggested to separate the matter of open defacation and leave it with the Committee
on Health which already has a proposed ordinance on Zero Open Defacation.
Moreover, he suggested to tackle only urinating in public places since it is a more
rampant practice. He also pointed out that the penalty of fine of PHP 500.00 may be
too heavy for some, thus, he suggested that the proposed Ordinance will have a No
Contest Provision to allow either the payment of PHP 500.00 or the render of voluntary
community service or, for the first time offender to attend a three-hour seminar.

Upon request for clarification by the proponent, Councilor Villafuerte expounded

that the proposed Zero Defecating Ordinance also prohibits defecating in public places
but it is focused on encouraging people to have toilets in every home. This was an
offshoot of the polio outbreak that the City experienced because someone defacated in
one of the City’s rivers.

A recess was then declared for the 3 o’clock prayer which was led by Councilor
Jessica M. Bonguyan.

RECESS
(3:10 PM)

When the session resumed, Councilor Quitain Jr. reiterated the following
suggestions given by the other Members: 1) that CENRO would be the implementing
agency; 2) for the penalties, a seminar can be required for first time offenders; 3)
deputize the Liga ng mga Barangay or the office that can aid in the implementation;
and 4) limit the Ordinance to urinating in public places. He then made the counter
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce FEBRUARY 15, 2022/7th Regular Session of the 19th Sangguniang Panlungsod in 2022 Page 14 of 29
proposal to proceed with the inclusion of defecating in public places as one of the
punishable acts in the proposed Ordinance while Councilor Villafuerte is still crafting
another Ordinance. He further suggested to Councilor Villafuerte not to include
defacating in public so the Ordinance under consideration will stand, to which the
Cheirperson of the Committee on Health agreed to take into consideration.

On the other hand, Councilor Villafuerte requested CENRO to submit to her office
the list of places where they already installed public toilets. She further stated that said
list must be made public so people can plan their trips

To further fine tune the proposed Ordinance, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented a
motion, duly seconded by Councilors Braga, Villafuerte, Baluran and J.M. Bonguyan,
to refer Item No. 1573 back to the committee, which was carried.

Due to the urgency of the matter and the fact that the persons concerned were
present, Councilor Dayanghirang requested to suspend the rules in order to take up
the plight of the operators of the floating cottages in Bunawan. FL Quitain Jr.
presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilor J.M. Bonguyan, to suspend the rules to
take up the aforementioned matter.

SUSPENDED RULES

Councilor Dayanghirang manifested that the operators of the floating cottages

were able to operate during the pandemic. However, the Business Bureau called their
attention and asked for their permit. Upon consultation with the Davao City Investment
Promotion Center (DCIPC), it pronounced that having the business is more beneficial to
the people. It had no objection to the operation of such business. The Barangay also
issued a Resolution of No Objection.

Councilors Campos III and Mahipus duly seconded the motion presented by
Councilor Dayanghirang for the approval of the proposed Resolution Interposing No
Objection to the operation of the aforementioned business. Before the ruling on the
motion,Councilor Braga asked what a floating cottage is. The proponent explained that
a floating cottage is a very small structure that is like a floating restaurant.

In addition, Councilor Mahipus manifested that he had also talked to Ms. Maribel
Paguican of the Business Bureau, who already committed to help in the issuance of the
business permits. He further manifested that Ms. Paguican agreed to issue the
business permits. Councilor Mahipus described the floating cottages as rafts with roof
which the applicants are using to order bring their clients to the deep portion of the sea
in order to swim. Councilor Mahipus suggested to refrain from naming the specific
inviduals mentioned by the proponent and instead state in the Resolution that the
Sanggunian is interposing no objection to the existence of such facilities in that specific
area. The barangay will have to regulate the matter. The proponent readily accepted
the suggestion with the inclusion in one of the Whereas clauses that there is a
Barangay Resolution of No Objection including the DCIPC. Councilor Mahipus further
suggested to exclude DCIPC to eliminate one layer of requirements and signified his co-
sponsorship to the matter. The proponent explained that DCIPC is only one of the
references on record then registered the co-sponsorship of all the City Councilors from
the 2nd District and other Councilors.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce FEBRUARY 15, 2022/7th Regular Session of the 19th Sangguniang Panlungsod in 2022 Page 15 of 29
 Councilor Baluran recalled that there is a floating restaurant business in Bohol
that is very lucrative. However, Councilor Dayanghirang clarified that there is no route
for the subject floating cottages, as they are only used as a diving facility. Thereafter,
Councilor Baluran signified his co-sponsorship.

Upon the comment of TPO Abella as to the structure termed as floating cottage,
Councilor Mahipus manifested that he suggested to the Business Bureau to use the
term facility instead so as not to make it confusing. According to the suggestion of
Councilor Mahipus, Councilor Dayanghirang stated that the proposed Resolution will use
the term “cottage” but that one of the Whereas clauses will state that “cottage” refers
to floating bamboo facility for swimming purposes.

The proponent reiterated the pending motion, duly seconded by Councilors

Braga and J.M. Bonguyan; co-sponsored by Councilors Braga and J.M. Bonguyan and
all Councilors from the Second District (Councilors Abella, Apostol Sr., L.J. Bonguyan,
Campos III, Dayap, Justol-Abguilod and Mahipus), for the approval of the Resolution
entitled:

Resolution No. 03349-22 INTERPOSING NO OBJECTION TO THE

OPERATION OF FLOATING COTTAGES AT
THE COASTAL AREAS OF PUROKS 6 AND
6-A, BARANGAY BUNAWAN PROPER

When the Resolution was approved, FL Quitain Jr. presented a motion, duly
seconded by Councilors Villafuerte and J.M. Bonguyan, to go back to the regular
proceedings to continue with the Business for the Day.

BUSINESS FOR THE DAY

Councilor J. Melchor B. Quitain Jr.

District, requesting the City Council of Davao City to consider the proposal of the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources in resolving the boundary conflict

by Councilor Braga, was likewise approved:

 Councilor Alberto T. Ungab

Item No. 1649

Councilor Ungab presented Item No. 1649 relative to the proposed Ordinance
creating the Peace 911 Management Council, subject to all laws and existing legal rules
and regulations. According to Councilor Ungab, Peace 911 was created as a
peacebuilding project for Paquibato District which serves as the gatekeeper of all
programs and projects implemented within the identified focus areas. Executive Order
No. 08, Series of 2021, aims to establish a program to empower the covered
communities through Peace, Economy, Good Governance and the Rule of Law, Identity
and Healing, Strengthening People’s Organizations and Ancestral Domain. The program
was expanded to include selected barangays in Calinan District.

Barangay Peace 911 (BP 911) in the Executive Order was tasked to design and
formulate programs and policies in every barangay in the focus areas. Peace 911 sa
Barangay is envisioned to be the coordinating, policymaking and advisory body of the
participating barangays in lieu of BP 911. The City Peace 911 and Peace 911 sa
Barangay are envisioned to be multi-sectoral bodies that will maximize the participation
of the people in the City.

The committee recommended to amend the title of the proposed Ordinance to

read as “An Ordinance Creating the City Peace 911 Council and the Peace 911 sa
Barangay, Subject to All Laws and Existing Legal Rules and Regulations”. Councilor
Braga duly seconded the motion of the proponent for the approval and adoption of
the Committee Report.

Before the approval of the motion, Councilor Braga asked for the basis of the
proposed legislation. Councilor Ungab clarified that an Executive Order is intended only
for the executive while an Ordinance is part of the law. The proposed legislative
measure is institutionalizing the advisory council of Peace 911 which is the City Peace
911 Council. It is also modified for it to be applicable to the whole City.

Expressing concern regarding the participation of the youth sector, Councilor

Mahipus asked if the said sector was in fact represented. Councilor Ungab stated that
the committee indeed saw the importance of such representation and added a
representative of the youth sector as a member of the City Peace 911 Council. Upon
the suggestion of Councilor Mahipus to specify the Member of the City Council who will
represent the august Body by identifying the Committee Chairmanship and that the
youth sector be represented by the Federation President, Councilor Ungab answered
that Peace 911 is intended for peace building and not peacekeeping. Peace building
may need social services such as health. The said council will be reconstituted every
year and it will depend on which area the Council will concentrate on. To be more
flexible, the committee decided not to specify the committee. As it is the City Mayor
who will appoint the members of the Peace 911 Council. The City Mayor is also the
Chairperson of the council. After Councilor Mahipus signified his co-sponsorship, TPO
Abella declared the approval of the pending motion.

Duly seconded by Councilors Braga, Apostol Sr. and Villafuerte, co-sponsored by

Councilor Mahipus, the motion for the passage of the following Resolution was
approved:

For the corresponding Ordinance, the proponent presented a motion which was
duly seconded by Councilors Mahipus, Apostol Sr. and Braga; co-sponsored by
Councilors Mahipus, Braga, Abellera and Apostol Sr., thus, it was approved on Second
Reading.

A recess was subsequently declared in order to allow Councilor Ungab to assume

the duties of the Chair and temporarily preside over the proceedings.

RECESS
(3:55 PM)

Councilor Edgar P. Ibuyan Jr.

Item No. 1661

Since Councilor Abella was out and could not yet present Item No. 1108,
Councilor Edgar P. Ibuyan Jr. was instead recognized to present Item No. 1661
regarding his privilege speech relative to the letter of Department of Public Works
and Highways (DPWH) for the temporary road closure for the project, Construction
of Drainage Structure along Daang Maharlika (MN) k1510+610, Davao City. The
proponent manifested that the project commenced on December 17, 2020 and was
supposed to have been completed on October 1, 2021. However, the project was
not realized due to the opposition of the barangay. A suspension of Work Order
was issued to the contractor because of the lack of access road. The barangays
requested DPWH to have additional access roads. DPWH forwarded to the
committee the road map of the affected road sections reflecting the proposed traffic
scheme part by part, making sure that the ingress and egress of motorists and
pedestrians will not be hampered.

Due to time constraint, the Committee Report was not yet signed by the
Members so Councilor Ibuyan Jr. proceeded to ask each member if they were
willing to affix their signatures. He further clarified that the item was jointly referred
to his committee as well as the Committee on Transportation and Communication.
At the query of Councilor Ibuyan Jr., the members of his committee, namely:
Councilors Zozobrado III, L.J. Bonguyan and Abella signified their willingness to affix
their signature on the Committee Report. However, Councilor Al-ag was out. On the
part of the Committee on Transportation and Communication, Councilors Baluran and
Braga likewise signified that they will affix their signature on the said Committee
Report. Councilor Dayanghirang was out while Councilor Librado-Morata was absent.

Councilors Braga and L'Dalodo-Ortiz duly seconded the motion of the proponent
for the approval and adoption of the Committee Report which was also co-sponsored by
Councilor Baluran. The proponent then presented a motion, duly seconded by
Councilors Apostol Sr., Braga and L'Dalodo-Ortiz, for the approval of the appurtenant
Resolution.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce FEBRUARY 15, 2022/7th Regular Session of the 19th Sangguniang Panlungsod in 2022 Page 18 of 29
 On the question on the availability of an alternate route posed by Councilor
Braga, Councilor Ibuyan Sr. manifested that an alternate route will be provided for
motor vehicles. The recommended roads were the road in between the Barangay Hall
of Barangay 38-D and Almendras Gym, and part of the road of Barangay 37-D from
Quimpo Blvd. The Committee also instructed DPWH to put up a signage before the
start of the construction and announce the alternate routes to the residents.

Upon ascertaining that the road is the one from San Pedro Street to the Coastal
Road, Councilor Mahipus asked for the sentiments of the Barangay since the area
should have more than one access road. The road that will be closed is the only road
in the area that can accommodate a firetruck. In case of fire, while the road is still
subject to closure, there will be no other way to access the area. The question then is
whether the access road will be able to accommodate a firetruck. According to
Councilor Ibuyan Jr., the alternate road is 6 meters wide. Furthermore, the project will
be done phase-by-phase so the road will not be closed all the way. The proponent also
stated that on the side of Barangay 37-D, the width of the road was not mentioned.
However, the CTTMO committed to lend their personnel to help ease the traffic. The
area has a problem with flooding as they easily get flooded so the drainage system
must be improved.

Due to unfortunate experiences of the City in the past where road

reconstructions took a long time for DPWH to finish, Councilor Mahipus expressed the
need for an undertaking from DPWH. He requested not to entirely close the road so
that it will be possible for a small fire truck to pass through. He also suggested to start
from the inside going out so, if there will be a delay in the budget, only those in the
interior area will be blocked. In response, Councilor Ibuyan Jr. explained that the
project will be done in phases so they will not have to close the entire width of the
road. Based on the original plan, the project was supposed to commence on
December 17, 2020 and it should have been completed on October 1, 2021, for a
period of 10 months. Basically, the project is for the outfall of the drainage installed
along San Pedro Street.

Expressing concern over the lack of road that can accommodate a firetruck in
case of emergencies, Councilor Mahipus signified his abstention until the DPWH can
present a contingency plan in case of fire in the Bucana area.

Councilor Braga stressed that it is not about just having an alternate route
but the alternate route should be passable. She then suggested to have a joint task
Force between the barangay and DPWH so they can work together. She futher
stated that the development may be necessary but things must be balanced so as
not to sacrifice the safety of the residents. The proponent suggested to her to pass
a corollary Resolution for the joint Task Force. He further pointed out that,
ultimately, the development will benefit the people.

Thereafter, Councilor Ibuyan Jr. presented a motion, duly seconded by

Councilors Baluran, Apostol Sr., Braga, L'Dalodo-Ortiz and L.J. Bonguyan, for the
approval of the Resolution as:

Resolution No. 03352-22 ENACTING AN ORDINANCE GRANTING

motion presented by the Floor Leader, duly seconded by Councilor Villafuerte, to
suspend the rules.

SUSPENDED RULES

Councilor Ralph O. Abella

Speaking about Lake Macaduhong in Barangay Malabog, Councilor Abella

reported that Lake Macaduhong was declared as Timberland consisting of 92.6164
hectares. A portion of it was certified as Timberland/Forestland on May 29, 1959. A
portion of the lake with an area of 38.4187 hectares was certified as alienable and
disposable on August 20, 1971. Original Certificates of Ttiles were issued by the Bureau
of Lands. However, a certification was issued on September 15, 2016 by the DENR-
Community Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-CENRO) certifying that Lake
Macaduhong is a Watershed Area containing an area of 91 hectares.

When asked for the procedure to declare timberland as alienable and disposable,
Engr. Guarra of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)
explained that his division, the Mapping Division, only identifies the status of an area,
which is timberland and which is alienable and disposable. The issuance of the patent
is controlled by CENRO. He could not therefore state the proper procedure.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce FEBRUARY 15, 2022/7th Regular Session of the 19th Sangguniang Panlungsod in 2022 Page 20 of 29
 Engr. Parilla of DENR, stated that, based on Presidential Decree No. 705, areas
with below 18% slope, are alienable and disposable. If the slope is higher, it is
classified as Timberland. According to him, if an area is declared alienable and
disposable, it is agricultural. There is no Presidential Decree declaring Lake
Macaduhong as Watershed Area although Resolutions to this effect have been passed.

Councilor Abella manifested that, in 2016, a certification was issued stating that
the area is a Watershed Area. He requested for a copy of the certification stating that
the area is alienable and disposable as he could not find one. Engr. Guarra explained
that they depend only on the Land Classification Map. Only Congress can approve land
classification. In addition, there are lands in Lake Macaduhong that were under
cadastral survey. Engr. Guarra also manifested that only the LC line can determine
which is timberland and which is alienable and disposable. Land use on the ground
cannot determine the land status as this will depend on when it was recorded. When
Councilor Abella asked for a copy of the documents wherein the President approved the
reclassification of the area as alienable and disposable, Engr. Gurra answered in the
negative and stated that they depend only on the Land Classification Map.

Due to time constraint, Councilor Abella manifested that, in due time, he will
request for an investigation on the matter.

Councilor Mahipus manifested that the laws on land registration are too many
and confusing and that DENR only relies on available official documents.

Councilor Baluran requested DENR to provide with the statistics or the number of
areas being titled because of land classification.

Councilor Mary Joselle D. Villafuerte
