THE 20th City Council, during its regular session on Monday, enacted an ordinance authorizing City Mayor Rolando A. Uy to enter into and sign the Terms of Partnership (TOP) with the Department of Health-Center for Health Development Northern Mindanao (DOH CHD NM) to oversee the management and implementation of the concurred 2024 Annual Operation Plan (AOP).
Anchored on Republic Act No. 11223, also known as the Universal Health Care Act of 2019, the TOP formalizes a collaborative arrangement to provide financial and non-financial matching grants. These include funding for capital outlay, human resources, and health commodities to enhance city-wide health investment plans.
Under the agreement, the city, in coordination with its component local government units (LGUs), will allocate, utilize, and liquidate the necessary funds for the city-wide implementation of the 2024 AOP.
It shall also comply with technical and operational requirements needed to release grants for specific programs, manage program resources, and ensure the delivery of essential inputs such as civil works, equipment, human resources, commodities, and capacity-building initiatives.
The city is further tasked with monitoring the implementation and fund utilization of the Local Investment Plan for Health (LIPH)/AOP and sharing these plans with stakeholders, including DOH offices, international health partners, donor agencies, national government agencies, and academic institutions, for assistance and research purposes.
For its part, the DOH CHD NM will coordinate and facilitate support from national government agencies and development partners for the city.
It shall also issue necessary policies to mobilize assistance, deliver technical support, monitor the AOP implementation, and facilitate the provision and release of grants or funds under the CHD director’s authority.
Certified urgent by City Mayor Uy, the ordinance was approved unanimously by the City Council.

COUNCILOR Roger G. Abaday, committee chair on environment, advised the Department of Public Works and Highways-10 to wait for the endorsement of City Mayor Rolando A. Uy on their Gratuitous Special Use Permit (GSUP) application before the matter be brought to the plenary.
The DPWH-10 has requested the City Council for a resolution, supporting its GSUP application for the construction of the CDO-Iligan Hinterland Road, Junction BCIR–Laguindingan Airport Road Extension.
According to Ms. Lani Ruth Igcalinos, representative of the DPWH-10, the 48-kilometer project is already ongoing, but it was temporarily stopped because it will traverse a forested area; and thus the need for a GSUP.
The GSUP is a major requisite when implementing road projects especially when it traverses forested areas as outlined in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Administrative No. 2022-01, which lays down the guidelines to ensure that government plans and standards are followed when granting licenses to government agencies for the development of projects and public infrastructure within forestlands, she added.
Assistant City Planning and Development Officer Engr. Ardines Cabrera, however, pointed out the need to coordinate with the CPDO, which is currently updating the city’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) – the basis of the new zoning ordinance of the city.
“If you will not inform us about the infrastructure project, we will not know the zoning division if it is
within forest land or agricultural land,” he added.
Cabrera also reminded the DPWH-10 to provide the project alignment from station zero to the last station before CPDO sends a letter to the local chief executive endorsing their request to secure the GSUP.

SI Konsehal Christian Achas, chairman sa komite fisheries and aquatic resources, gustong makisayod ug mahatagan sa katin-awan sa buhatan sa City Local Environment and Natural Resources Office kon gi-unsa paggamit ang gigahin nga P270 milyon sa kagamhanang lokal alang sa pagkolekta sa basura sa dakbayan.
Kini ang unod sa special report ni Konsehal Achas atol sa sesyon niadtong Lunes nga gidumala ni Bise Mayor Bebot Rodriguez.
Sumala ni Achas nga nalatid ang maong pundo sa tuig 2024 nga gihatagan ni City Mayor Rolando Klarex Uy ang matag barangay sa P103 mil alang sa pag-atiman sa basura ug ang pagkolekta sa solid waste.
Gani mihatag pa kini sa dos pesos nga incentibo sa kabarangayan matag kilo sa residual waste nga mahatod sa barangay ngadto sa landfill area, sumpay sa konsehal.
Siya midugang nga sa Annual Investment Plan sa maong tuig, gisugyot sa CLENRO nga mahatagan
ang 77 ka barangay sa syudad sa P103 mil nga pundo alang sa nasangpit nga programa apan wala kini nalatid sa annual investment plan diin butang nga boot niining pakisayran ug gi-unsa paggamit sa maong pundo.
Nunot niini giduso ni Vice Mayor Bebot Rodriguez ang maong special report ni Konsehal Achas ngadto sa komite sa environment ni Konsehal Roger Abaday aron mahatagan sa dugang pagtagad ug katin-awan ang maong isyu.
