THE city government of Cagayan de Oro has earmarked funds to the respective lot owners whose properties were affected by the city projects.
This, as the 20th City Council during its regular session presided over by City Vice Mayor Bebot Rodriguez, enacted separate ordinances appropriating the amounts for the full payment of the claim of just compensation to lot properties affected by existing Mandumol-Indahag road, a portion of 2.00-meter-wide South Diversion Road, and the 8.00-meter-wide Carmen-Canitoan Road projects.
For this purpose, legislators likewise authorized City Mayor Rolando A. Uy to sign the corresponding deed of absolute sale.
The ordinances were reviewed and favorably endorsed by the Committees on Subdivision and Landed Estate, on Finance, Budget and Appropriations, and on Laws and Rules chaired by Councilors Edgar S. Cabanlas and Yan Lam Lim, respectively.
THE Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) of Barangay Pagatpat is set to implement its programs and initiatives for 2024, following the approval of its ₱357,395.57 budget by the 20th City Council during its 105th regular session.
The budget will fund a range of programs, projects, and activities aimed at fostering youth empowerment and active community participation, in alignment with the objectives of the Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Act of 2015 (Republic Act 10742). The law mandates that 10% of a barangay’s annual general fund be allocated to SK-led initiatives that promote leadership development and socio-cultural engagement among the youth.
Out of the total budget, ₱200,000.00 has been earmarked for socio-cultural activities designed to engage and uplift the youth in Barangay Pagatpat. Additionally, ₱157,395.57 has been allocated for the renovation of the SK office, ensuring an enhanced and more functional space to serve as a hub for youth activities.
The legislation was reviewed and endorsed by the Committee on Sports and Youth Development, chaired by Councilor Kenneth John D. Sacala, and the Committee on Laws and Rules, chaired by Councilor Edgar S. Cabanlas.
THE 20th City Council, during its regular session on Monday, authorized City Mayor Rolando A. Uy to sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Office of Civil Defense-Region 10 (OCD-10) to facilitate the engagement of medical and psychosocial services provided by J.R. Borja General Hospital (JRBGH) for OCD-10 officers and employees.
Under the MOA, OCD-10 will refer its personnel needing these services to JRBGH, with payments to be made directly to the hospital. Both parties agreed to indemnify each other from claims arising due to negligence or other issues during the agreement's implementation.
The MOA will be effective for one year from its execution and is renewable upon written notice at least a month before expiration. Amendments or modifications require mutual agreement and must be formalized in writing by authorized representatives.
