THE Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) of Barangay Bayanga has been given the green light to implement its 2024 programs and initiatives following the 20th City Council’s approval of a resolution that declares operative its budget of ₱622,275.00.
This will finance a variety of youth-focused programs, projects, and activities in the barangay, in line 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 aimed at fostering youth empowerment, leadership development, and active community involvement.
The resolution underwent a comprehensive review 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.
“KASABOT ko nga anaay daghang proseso ang paga-agian ayha mabalhin sa atong mga housing projects ngadto sa mge beneficiaries, apan gusto usab nato nga malamdagan ang kahimtang sa ilang relokasyon niining mga pamilya nga biktima sa demolisyon ug nasunogan.”
Kini ang unod sa special report ni Konsehal Joey Abbu, Jr., chairman sa Komite sa Labor and Employment atol sa sesyon sa konseho sa Martes nga gidumala ni Bise Mayor Bebot Rodriguez.
Matod ni Abbu nga bag-ohay lamang niya nahinabi ang mga na-demolish niadtong Pebrero, ning tuig sa Zone 5, Barangay Carmen ug giingon nga hangtod karon wala pa sila na-relokar sa rason nga puno na ang mga relocation sites sa dakbayan.
Sumala ni Abbu nga iyang mahinumdoman sa milabayng session nga gitahasan ni Konsehal Edgar Cabanlas ang City Housing and Urban Development Department (CHUDD) pagpahigayon og parallel investigation ug hatagan sa kopya ang konseho ingon man pag- imbentaryo sa mga housing projects sa mga relocation sites aron masayran kun pila na ka units ang bakante ug kon kwalipikado ba ang mga benepisaryo nga kasamtangang nanimuyo niini.
Apan gitataw sa konsehal nga hangtod karon walay taho ang CHUDD, tingali kung naa man, si Konsehal Cabanlas lang ang nahatagan sa kopya niini.
Niini, nanghinaut si Konsehal Abbu nga unta mapahibalo ang konseho kon magsumite ang buhatan sa kopya sa imbentaryo sa mga housing projects sa mga relocation sites aron usab kini mahisgutan sa Komite sa Urban & Rural Poor and Housing Development ubos ni Konsehal Edgar Cabanlas.
THE City Council Committee on Barangay Affairs, chaired by Councilor Yan Lam S. Lim, is set to review Barangay Bugo’s Tapat Ko-Linis Ko (Tungod Ko Limpyohan Ko) Ordinance, which mandate that all residential and commercial establishments in Bugo maintain the cleanliness and orderliness in their immediate surroundings, including drainage systems and canals.
The ordinance seeks to foster collaboration among residents to curb indiscriminate practices that contribute to visual clutter and disrupt the cleanliness of public spaces.
It also prohibits activities such as hanging clothes or other items on electrical wires, windows, posts, and other unsuitable areas, washing or drying clothes on gutters, sidewalks, streets, alleys, or roads, allowing pets to defecate or urinate outside their property boundaries, storing or leaving junked vehicles, dilapidated appliances, waste, or debris in public areas, which may obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
The ordinance also bans the construction of animal pens, leashed animal areas, and unauthorized extensions of houses or businesses, such as roofs, canopies, and fences, on sidewalks. Using sidewalks for planting trees or placing pots is similarly prohibited by the said ordinance, The Gavel learned.
