THE 20th City Council, during its regular session Monday, enacted an ordinance appropriating ₱406,592.50 to fully settle the claim for just compensation, including registration and documentation expenses, for a property owned by Batangas Land Company.
The property, located in Barangay No. 16, was encroached upon during the construction of the 8.00-meter Macahambus Road in the 1990s. The encroachment remained undiscovered until 2021, when the landowner filed a compensation claim.
The decision was based on an updated Appraisal Report dated September 13, 2024, which reassessed the property’s value using current sales data.
This report replaces the earlier appraisal dated October 18, 2021, ensuring fair valuation in line with current market conditions.
The legislation was reviewed and endorsed by the City Council committees on subdivision, and landed estate, on finance, budget, and appropriations, and on laws and rules, respectively chaired by Councilors Edgar S. Cabanlas and Yan Lam S. Lim.
THE 20th City Council, during its regular session on Monday, adopted a resolution accrediting Lot 4314-I Landless Association, Incorporated to facilitate its participation in the Local Special Bodies (LSB), particularly as a member of the City Development Council (CDC).
The resolution was enacted following DILG Circular No. 2022-083 and Article 64, Rule XIII of the Rules and Regulations Implementing the 1991 Local Government Code, which stipulates the criteria and processes for accrediting civil society organizations (CSOs).
The association’s membership in the CDC, per Ordinance No. 14334-2022, emphasizes the active involvement of people's organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in local governance, particularly in planning and development processes.
By accrediting Lot 4314-I Landless Association, the City Council seeks to promote inclusivity and ensure that the voices of marginalized sectors, such as landless residents, are represented in policymaking and resource allocation.
The legislation was reviewed and endorsed by the City Council's committee on planning, research, and innovation, and people’s organization accreditation, chaired by Councilor Ian Mark Q. Nacaya, as well as the committee on laws and rules, chaired by Councilor Edgar S. Cabanlas.

SI Konsehal James Judith, chairman sa komite sa arbitration, nanghinaot nga maplastar ang mga programa ug proyekto nga gihan-ay alang sa mga miembro sa Indigenous People (IP) sa syudad karong tuiga.
Kini ang gipaambit nga panahum ni Konsehal Judith agig reaksyon sa special report ni Konsehal Roberto Cabaring atol sa sesyon niadtong Lunes nga gidumala ni Bise Mayor Bebot Rodriguez.
Sumala ni Judith nga nasinati sa milabayng tuig sa mga miembro ang kakulangon sa gahin atol sa ilang ritual nga kalihukan ug uban pang mga programa hinungdan nga miabag boluntaryo sa ginagmay nga tabang ang mga sakop sa Konseho sa Syudad.
Lakip sa gisugyot ni Konsehal Judith nga matino ug masiguro nga adunay Ancestral Domain ang mga sakop sa IPs sa dakbayan tungod kay adunay taho nga nadawat nga ang mga Indigenous People (IP) sa lalawigan sa Misamis Oriental lamang ang adunay ancestral domain, sumpay sa konsehal.
Niini malaumon si Judith nga karong tuiga masiguro na sa mga miembro nga mahan-ay ang tanang gikinahanlan alang sa ilang mga programa ug proyekto.
