To allow Councilor Braga to discuss the updates on traffic signalization of the

City with invited guest P/SUPT Dionisio Abude (Ret.), Officer-in-Charge of the City
Transport and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO), FL Zozobrado III presented a
motion, duly seconded by Councilors J.M. Bonguyan, Campos III, L.J. Bonguyan,
Advincula, Baluran and T.A. Villafuerte, to recast the agenda.
At this junction, PO Quitain Jr. directed the SP Secretary to change the status of
Councilor Diosdado Angelo Junior R. Mahipus from absent to present, which was duly
noted.
(NOTE: Councilor Mahipus arrived at the session hall at 9:58 am.)
Expressing her felicitations to everyone in view of the celebration of the 37 th

Kadayawan Festival, Councilor Braga recalled that, in the previous session, the Body
tackled the state of the traffic lights in the City. In connection with this, P/SUPT
Dionisio Abude (Ret.) submitted a statistical report on the matter.
It was at this point when PO Quitain Jr. directed the SP Secretary to change the
status of Councilors Marissa S. Abella and Luna Maria Dominique S. Acosta from absent
to present, which was duly noted.
(NOTE: Both Councilors Marissa S. Abella and Luna Maria Dominique S.

Acosta arrived at the session hall at 10 am.)
Reporting about the traffic situation of the City,P/SUPT Dionisio Abude (Ret.)
manifested that the Smart Traffic Signalization Concept started in 2004. Phase 1 was
completed in 2008 but said project was completed and became fully operational in
2010. The Traffic Operation Center (TOC) was operated by the Public Safety and
Security Command Center (PSSCC) in coordination with the Traffic Management Center
(now CTTMO). At this time, the No Contact Apprehension Policy was implemented
_____________________________________________________________________________________
which means that the TOC captured vehicles which violated traffic rules especially on
signalized intersections. However, in 2019, the maintenance provider Abratique &
Associates failed to comply with the deliverables which led to the termination of the
contract. Since then, the City has no contractor for the maintenance of the traffic
signalization. Moreover, P/SUPT Abude presented the following challenges that the City
is facing when it comes to its traffic situation:
1. Most of the traffic controllers are due for replacement;

2. A number of busted lights and defective traffic cabinet components;
3. Other hardware are also due for replacement such as traffic light
heads/lanterns;
4. Cut sensors and obstructing poles;
5. Need for re-cabling and retrenching;
6. Need to redesign most intersections;
7. Need traffic signal poles;
8. Need to redesign the network infrastructure;
9. No centralized control and traffic cameras;
10. No active Traffic Operations Center;
11. No active contract with a maintenance provider; and
12. Limited manpower, transportation, tools and equipment for maintenance.
On the other hand, the following are other challenges that also affect the traffic
situation:
1. Road Works of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the
City Engineers Office (CEO) such as road widening and rehabilitation;
2. Road Excavations by Davao City Water District (DCWD) as well as the
Underground Cabling Project (City Ordinance 0152-17, Series of 2017);
3. Road Crashes which may lead to damaged traffic signal components; and
4. Obstructing Poles of Telecommunication Companies.
Citing some examples of projects that destroyed the City’s traffic lights, P/SUPT
Abude mentioned that there are no traffic enforcers or personnel from traffic planning
present when excavations are done. CTTMO usually discovers that the wireshave been
cut when they try to replace the bulbs. Furthermore, he mentioned that CTTMO
already made the recommendation that, before the different agencies start digging,
there should be presence of CTTMO personnel.
P/SUPT Abude likewise manifested that, at present, the City installed Eight
Hundred Thousand Pesos (PHP 800,000.00) worth of replacement LED bulbs in May
2022. Upon the other hand, they are already processing the procurement of additional
traffic signal cabinet components and wirings/cabling along with additional replacement
LED bulbs worth Eight Million Pesos (PHP 8,000,000.00).
In sum, there are 62 intersections with traffic lights. 29 of them are operational,
5 are flashing, 27 have been shutdown and 1 has been removed. The following are the
status of the aforementioned traffic lights:

The City also has complementary projects, namely:
1. High Priority Bus System (ongoing)

- an intelligent Transport Systems which includes the Traffic Signalization System
2. SMART JAMP (concluded in 2021; phase 2 is underway)
- Pre-Feasibility Study for Updating Smart Traffic System and Effective Utilization
of Traffic Data in Davao (contract signed by former Mayor Sara Duterte)
3. United States Trade and Development Agency (ongoing)
- Consultancy Grant for Technical Assistance on the two (2) ASEAN priority
projects of Davao City which includes the Intelligent Transport System (contract
signed by former Mayor Sara Duterte)
Nevertheless, P/SUPT Abude pointed out that, although the Traffic Operations
Center will be upgraded, the City does not have enough facilities as the CTTMO does
not even have its own building.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, P/SUPT Abude revealed that CTTMO has been
exerting earnest efforts to address the problem on traffic congestion. Traffic
congestion may occur, not only because of construction of roads, but it may also be
caused by the limited capacity of thoroughfares such as the situation at the crossing in
Matina which has been identified as a bottleneck. DPWH plans to transfer the
pedestrian overpass near Centerpoint Plaza before the roads will be widened. In
addition, the traffic scheme for Panacan has been presented to the City Mayor. There
are also traffic plans that have been presented to the City Transport and Traffic
Management Board.
Upon the query of Councilor Braga on whether there is sufficient coordination

amongst DPWH, CTTMO and the contractors, whether their budget is enough, as well
as their recommendations and the submission of their report to enhance traffic
signalization, P/SUPT Abude manifested that there is a policy that before an agency
starts their excavation, there should be coordination with CTTMO so that the personnel
will know if there are damage that must be fixed before the area will be restored.
Furthermore, he categorically stated that CTTMO already coordinated with DPWH on
this matter. As a matter of fact, he already submitted a report regarding those
damaged by DPWH projects. With respect to the budget, the yearly annual budget for
maintenance is Ten Million Pesos (PHP 10,000,000.00) while waiting for the realization
of the HPBS Project.
At this point, P.O. Quitain Jr. manifested that the status of Councilors Bonz Andre
A.Militar and Richlyn N. Justol-Baguilod have been changed from absent to present.
(NOTE: Councilor Bonz Andre A.Militar arrived at the session hall at 10:05
am while Richlyn N. Justol-Baguilod arrived 10:08 am.)
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Addressing the questions of Councilor B.E. Al-ag, P/SUPT Abude stated that
the City does not have extra bulbs anymore. He explained that the maintenance
provider used to replace busted bulbs, however, there is no maintenance provider
anymore since the contract with Abratique and Associates was terminated. Further,
the City lacks personnel who are technically knowledgeable regarding traffic lights.
There is also a delay in the procurement of bulbs due to the cancelled contract. To be
more efficient and effective in replacing busted bulbs, P/SUPT Abude manifested that
they are planning on the full restoration of traffic lights especially those placed at
intersections. The estimated budget is pegged at One hundred Million Pesos (PHP
100,000,000.00). Since CTTMO does not have the capacity to perform the maintence
work, he recommended to find another contractor to perform such task.
On whether the City should go for the timed traffic lights or the sensor type,
P/SUPT Abude expounded that the traffic lights with timer or counter is obsolete since
the vehicles have to stay until the allotted time is done. Contrary to this, with the
sensor type, there is only a set period of time wherein if the sensor does not detect any
vehicle, then it will automatically give way to the other side. Thus, he recommended
the use of the sensor or camera type of traffic light. Councilor B.E. Al-ag suggested
to have a clear direction so the planning of the City will also be centralized and properly
coordinated.
P/SUPT Abude further manifested that, currently, CTTMO has 892 personnel.
Councilor B.E. Al-ag suggested to add personnel who are more knowledgeable
especially on information technology. He also asked for the recommendation of P/SUPT
Abude regarding the system, personnel and infrastructure in order to guide the
Sanggunian. In addition, P/SUPT Abude stressed that the plans must be in harmony
with HPBS.
Expressing his support to the suggestion of Councilor B.E. Al-ag, Councilor

Baluran manifested that the 15th City Council knew of the budget of Thirty-Six Million
Pesos (PHP 36,000,000.00) for the contract with Abratique and Associates. He,
however, wanted to know what happened to it, the reason for the termination of the
contract and if Abratique and Associates is liable based on such contract.
Upon clarifying with the resource person that there is a need to procure a new
traffic signalization system but it has to wait for the HPBS project to be operational,
Councilor Mahipus emphasized that the Sanggunian needs his help in order to craft
policies to address the increasing traffic woes of the residents of the City. Traffic
signalization is just one of the components of traffic management. Since HPBS project
has to be taken into consideration, he asked P/SUPT Abude for recommendations as to
what policies should be enacted. Furthermore, he asked if they considered establishing
zipper lanes during peak hours so vehicles traversing the busy lanes may use part of
the less busy lanes.
In response, P/SUPT Abude explained that they already crafted a traffic plan
which includes their recommendation for a lane dedicated to trucks. As for the
question whether they have denied an application for Traffic Impact Assessment of
subdivision developers on the ground that the road capacity will not be able to
accommodate the new community, P/SUPT Abude answered that they do not deny the
application outright but the applicant is given a chance to make another traffic plan for
_____________________________________________________________________________________
the new community. If there is a new plan already, they will conduct another
inspection then decide on the application based on the new plan.
Councilor Mahipus noted that there are certain areas where communities are
concentrated but the roads are not wide enough to accommodate the traffic that the
new communities will bring. He also manifested that the City Mayor already
reconstituted the Infrastructure Monitoring Advisory Group which will allow better
coordination amongst the various agencies. Since there are still lapses and some
agencies still fail to coordinate with CTTMO, he proffered that CTTMO can submit a list
of contractors who did not coordinate with them so the City Council may pass a
Resolution requesting DPWH to blacklist such irresponsible contractors. In this way, the
contractors will also realize that the City means business. To this, P/SUPT Abude agreed
and pointed out that it is one of their recommendations.
When Councilor Mahipus suggested to refer the matter to the proper committee,
PO Quitain Jr. added that the same will also be discussed in the Executive-Legislative
Agenda. He likewise suggested to deploy more traffic aides to watch over the
intersections mentioned earlier in the discussion since most of the traffic lights are
damaged or busted and netizens have been complaining in the different social media
platforms regarding the traffic situation of the City. M Furthermore, he suggested suing
those who damaged the facilities. When the Presiding Officer also announced that 3 rd
District Representative Isidro T. Ungab had the legislation on the Metro Davao
Development Authority, P/SUPT Abude explained that this will expand the scope of
CTTMO.
After Councilor Braga summed up the following issues identified during the
discussion: personnel, maintenance, expertise as far as traffic signalization is
concerned, and procurement, she stated that a well-maintained traffic system could
ease traffic congestion, save lives, and promote order in the streets, however, poorly
maintained non-functioning traffic lights may cause accidents and loss of lives and
property. She then suggested that the matter be referred to the Committee on
Transportation and Communications.
In view of the fact that the matter also entails budgetary requirement, Councilor
L’Dalodo-Ortiz suggested to refer the matter to the Committee on Transportation and
Communications jointly with the Committee on Finance Ways and Means and
Appropriations.
Considering that Councilor Braga was agreeable to the suggestion of Councilor

L’Dalodo-Ortiz, she presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilors Baluran, J.M.
Bonguyan, L.B. Villafuerte, Advincula, Mahipus and Mande, to consider the matter as
having been read and passed under First Reading and to refer it jointly to the
Committees on Transportation and Communications; and Finance, Ways and
Means and Approriation. Before the ruling on the motion, Councilor Mahipus
reminded everyone that among the reasons for the creation of the Oversight Committee
was to monitor the traffic signalization which was later expanded to include all
approved projects. Thus, he proposed to include the Oversight Committee, which
was agreed upon by Councilor Braga. Thereafter, the motion was carried and the item
was referred to the three (3) committees. (Docketed as Item No. 191)
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Afterwards, a recess was declared by the Chair to welcome distinguished guests
who are members of the Knights of Rizal, especially their Supreme Commander, Vice
Mayor Gerardo V. Calderon of the Municipality of Angono, Rizal and Dr. Rene Elias C.
Lopez, former Davao City Councilor and current member of the Board of Directors of
PhilHealth.
RECESS
(10:55AM)
Upon resumption of the session at 11:15 in the morning, F.L. Zozobrado III
presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilors Braga, Acosta, Campos III, J.M.
Bonguyan and Baluran, to recast the agenda and proceed to the Privilege Hour.
PRIVILEGE HOUR
COUNCILOR LORENZO BENJAMIN D. VILLAFUERTE
Raising the matter of the rights of Persons With Disability (PWD) to the forefront,
Councilor L.B. Villafuerte first recognized the accomplishments of para athletes who
participated in the ASEAN Para (Paralympic) Games.
The Philippines, as a state-party to ASEAN, fielded a 222-strong contingent

composed of 144 athletes, 38 coaches and 40 team officials, participating in 11 sports.
Showcasing the best of the Filipino spirit, the paraathletes beat their pre-pandemic
medal haul in the 2017 Game to bring home a total of 104 medals - 28 Gold, 31
Silver, and 46 Bronze. It is worth noting that among the Philippine Team are the
following Davaoeños who won medals in their respective events:
1. Jobert Lumanta – Para Table Tennis – Bronze Medal (2)

2. Racleo Martinez Jr. - Para Table Tennis – Bronze Medal (2)
3. Smith Billy Cartera - Para Table Tennis – Bronze Medal (2)
4. Jannil Cañete - Wheelchair Basketball - Silver Medal (1)
5. Marzel Burgos - Para Archery - Silver Medal (1), Bronze Medal (1)
6. Arvie John Arreglado – Para Athletics - Bronze Medal (2)
7. Ernie Gawilan -Para Swimming- Gold Medal (2), Silver Medal (1), Bronze Medal (1)
8. James Infiesto – Coach, Para Chess
9. Jonathan Josol – Coach, Para Archery
As Chairperson of the Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Civil, Political,

and Human Rights, one of his ongoing concerns is the protection and promotion of the
rights of PWDs. The participation of Davaoeño para athletes in the Games is a
reflection of the collective desire to develop the skills and potential of PWDs, enabling
them to improve their overall well-being and springboard their integration to mainstream
society. Indubitably, the concrete manifestation of the shared principles of equity and
regard for rights of all persons regardless of race, gender, religion, belief, and physical
condition, is inclusivity.
With praises and salutations to the Davaoeño para athletes who participated in
the 2022 ASEAN Para Games, Councilor L.B. Villafuerte presented a motion, duly
seconded by Councilors Advincula, Acosta, Ocampo, Abellera Jr., Campos III, L.J.
Bonguyan, Baluran, Braga, W.E. Al-ag, Mahipus, Marohomsalic, Alejandre, Mande, T.A.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Immediately thereafter, the proponent presented a motion, duly seconded by

Councilors Braga, Campos III, Acosta, Advincula and L.J. Bonguyan, to register a vote
of unanimity in the records of the Sanggunian.
The Chair then declared a recess to make way for the photo opportunities with
the para athletes.
COUNCILOR CONRADO C. BALURAN
When the session resumed at 11:28 in the morning, Councilor Baluran was
recognized to deliver his privilege speech.
He narrated that, on January 2021, Ordinance No. 0394-20 was signed into law
which amended Section 1 (o) of Ordinance No. 0564-13, otherwise known as the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of Davao City. This amendment removed the
categories “CELL SITES” and “TELECOMMUNICATION TOWERS” from among those
entities necessitating a favourable endorsement from the Local Zoning Board of
Adjustment and Appeals (LZBAA). Pursuant to Memorandum Circular No. 1, Series of
2020 of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), at least six (6)
national and local requirements are no longer required including barangay and SP
Resolution. This measure allows TELCOs to fast-track their installation of cell site
towers.
Consequently, cell sites are sprouting like mushrooms without consulting the
barangay or residents of such areas. This caused residents to file complaints on
grounds of environmental and health based concerns.
Subsequently, Councilor Baluran requested to reconsider the policy of requiring

TELCOs to secure either a barangay certification or SP Resolution interposing no
objection. Duly seconded by Councilors Braga, Zozobrado III, Justol-Baguilod, Acosta,
Abella, T.A. Villafuerte and Campos III; co-sponsored by Councilors Acosta, Ocampo,
J.M. Bonguyan, Campos III and Mande, the motion of Councilor Baluran to consider his
privilege speech as First Reading to be referred jointly to the Committees on
Transporation and Communications, Healthy, and Peace and Public Safety was
approved. (Docketed as Item No. 192)
At tis point, PO Quitain Jr. manifested that the status of Councilor Rodolfo M.
Mande has been changed from absent to present.
(NOTE: Councilor Rodolfo M. Mande arrived at the session hall at around

11:05 am.)

COUNCILOR MARISSA S. ABELLA
On the occasion of the 37th Kadayawan, the King of Festivals, Councilor Abella
passionately spoke of uniting the Indigenous Peoples/Indigenous Cultural Communities
(IP/ICC) in Davao City. According to her, the IP/ICC face the following difficult and
pressing issues:
1. The rampant buying and selling of Ancestral Domains has given way to economic
development but has starved the members of the IP.
2. The lack of economic opportunities for the IP members forced their hands to sell
said Ancestral Domains.
3. The violence amongst tribal members over Ancestral Domain disputes.
4. The dimming of the culture and tradition of the tribes due to the next
generation’s disinterest to preserve and protect their Cultural Heritage.
5. The lack of education among the tribes that’s why members are easily deceived,
misled, and deluded, resulting in their mistrust of those who are external,
making the duty of public servants extra difficult.
6. The fact that the few trees on the slopes of Ancestral Domains decrease water
infiltration and increase water runoff, thereby contributing to floods.
7. The lack of or the slow infrastructural development in the areas of the IP

community, which tender their way of living as difficult as the days of their
forefathers.
Councilor Abella suggested the following solutions to the aforementioned issues:
1. Providing sustainable agricultural livelihoods to the IP community so that the

members of the clan no longer need to sell their Ancestral Domains just to get
by.
2. Giving workshops and sets of training to the members so they can learn about
the improved technology of planting high-value crops on their parcels of land.
3. Helping the members identify the right high-value, fruit-bearing trees to plant on
the slopes of their Ancestral Domains, and then connect them to a huge market
(e.g. The Puyat variety of Durian to be exported to China).
These efforts will have the following beneficial effects to the IP/ICC:
1. If they stop selling their Ancestral Domains for money, the clans of every tribal
group will remain intact; their traditions and practices preserved, and their
heritage safeguarded.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
2. If they learn how to plant the trees that will give them sustainable income, there
will be less runoff of water and sediments to the lowlands, reducing flood risks
and keeping each resident safe from landslides and other similar natural
disasters.
3. If they stop worrying about the food security of their tribe, they will send their
children to schools so that someday the next generation will gain professions
that bear the pride of the tribe.
Pursuant to the foregoing, Councilor Abella proposed an Ordinance entitled

“CULTURE-BASED STRENGTHENING OF THE LOCAL ANCESTRAL DOMAINS
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND PROTECTION PLAN (ADSDPP) TOWARDS
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE, ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION AND LIVELIHOODS
OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN DAVAO CITY”. She then presented a motion, duly
seconded by Councilors Braga, J.M. Bonguyan, Marohomsalic, L’Dalodo-Ortiz, Ocampo,
L.B. Villafuerte and Alejandre, to consider her privilege speech as having been read and
passed on First Reading and referred to the Committees on Agriculture and Food; and
Environment and Natural Resources. (Docketed as Item No. 193)
COUNCILOR JESSICA M. BONGUYAN
Reporting on vehicular accidents happening around the City, Councilor J.M.

Bonguyan mentioned several examples including the recent fatal accident where a
person was crossing a pedestrian lane when a vehicle hit him. The issue is close to her
heart because her grandfather suffered the same fate, he was also hit while crossing a
pedestrian lane.
Although the City already installed 2,000 new light posts, there is still room for
improvement of roads and highways. The City must also improve road conditions and
add light studs and road signs. In the effort of furthering the goal of making Davao City
a safer place, Councilor J.M. Bonguyan presented a motion, duly seconded by
Councilors Advincula, Acosta, Justol-Baguilod, L’Dalodo-Ortiz, L.B. Villafuerte, T.A.
Villafuerte and Braga, to consider her privilege speech as having been read and passed
under First Reading. (Docketed as Item No. 194)
COUNCILOR RICHLYN N. JUSTOL-BAGUILOD
As Chairperson of the Committee on Health, Councilor Justol-Baguilod reminded

everyone to observe minimum public health protocol during the Kdayawan Festival
given that COVID-19 has not been completely eradicated.
Moreover, Councilor Justol-Baguilod informed that August is the National

Breastfeeding Awareness month in accordance with Republic Act No. 10028 otherwise
known as the “ËXPANDED BREASTFEEDING ACT OF 2009”. The said law is intended to
encourage, protect and support the practice of breastfeeding. R.A. No. 10028
mandates local governments to establish Human Milk Banks in clinics, Municipality/City
and that offices, both private and public, must establish a safe place for women to
breastfeed. Consequently, she proposed the passage of an Ordinance entitled
“ESTABLISHMENT OF MILK BANK IN DAVAO CITY”.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
In view thereof, Councilor Justol-Baguilod presented a motion, duly seconded by
Councilors Braga, Zozobrado III, L.B. Villafuerte, T.A. Villafuerte, Mande, Acosta and
J.M. Bonguyan, to consider her privilege speech as having been read and passed under
First Reading. (Docketed as Item No. 195)
PO Quitain Jr. took a moment to congratulate and thanked everyone for the
successful vaccination rollouts.
COUNCILOR JAFFAR U. MAROHOMSALIC
Focusing on the issues of diversity and inclusivity, Councilor Marohomsalic

described the City as a melting pot of culture where diversity is apparent as it relates
not only to race and ethnicity, but also to religion, economic status, sexual orientation,
gender identity, and language background. Diversity is important as it brings together
people who come from different backgrounds, who harbor different perspectives,
talents and solutions to different problems. However, diversity can also be the reason
for divisiveness, marginalization and privilege.
To combat divisiveness, the only way is through educating the youth. By

fostering inclusivity in the education system, each and every one of the youth will feel
that they are equally involved and important members of society.
As such, it is important to foster an inclusive education for all. Accordingly, he

asked the City Council to enjoin academic institutions to develop inclusive formation of
programs, specifically:
- The formation of programs that form part of regular activities allowing students
to develop their own faith and barring academic institutions from mandating
activities that cater only to one specific religion; or
- Developing Muslim / Islamic counterparts to Retreats and Recollection; and
- As an alternative, the formator in these programs can allow for Qur’an
counterparts to bible verses.
Furthermore, inclusivity must not only be found in education but also in

governance. Therefore, he encouraged inclusive participation and representation of
youth subsectors in Local Governance. In particular, this can be done with respect to
the recent Executive Order No. 16 signed by former Mayor Sara Duterte which
established the interim Local Youth Development Office (LYDO) and the Local Youth
Development Council(LYDC). Be that as it may, there is still no registered Youth or
Youth Serving Organizations for the following causes:
a. Muslim Youth
b. PWD Youth
c. LGBTQIA Youth; etc.
Councilor Marohomsalic encouraged representatives from these youth

organizations to step forward and have their voices heard.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
As for the Muslim Youth, they plan to gather the presidents and other officers of
the different MUSLIM YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS, MUSLIM STUDENT ASSOCIATIONS and
MADARIS SSG officers for a Bitiala Session in order to educate them on their role as
Davao Youth in Local Governance and the need for them to consolidate themselves and
select their representative to the Council.
He ultimately reminded everyone that inclusion in education system as well as

inclusion in governance is important not only to build a more productive society where
every person feels safe and respected, it is also a critical ingredient for success. In
closing, Councilor Marohomsalic presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilors
Ocampo, Apostol Sr., Acosta, Braga, L.J. Bonguyan and J.M. Bonguyan to consider his
privilege speech to have been read and passed under First Reading. (Docketed as
Item No. 196)
COUNCILOR TEMUJIN B. OCAMPO
Bringing to the attention of the Body the matter of dumping of charcoal waste,
Councilor Ocampo reported that he received an inspection report from the City
Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) about the open dumping of
charcoal waste at Puroks 1 and 2, Barangay Mudiang and Sitio Lambo, Barangay
Indangan.
For Barangay Mudiang, the CENRO report described the incident as “inadvertent
disposal” wherein the charcoal waste was used as earth fill to level the road in Purok 1-
B and Purok 2-A as ordered by a certain “Mr. Rafael Intia, Jr.” and a certain “Mr. Orly
Marabi,” respectively.
However, the charcoal waste was not just regular charcoal. The inspection team
found out that the discarded substance was, in fact, a mixture of charcoal and oil. In
effect, the presence of oil made the roads slippery and threatened the safety of
residents passing through. Being a hazard, the substance was removed and temporarily
placed on the side of the road until a definite solution is settled.
For Barangay Indangan, a larger volume of charcoal waste was identified in a

300-square meter property owned by a certain “Mr. Adrian Lambo.” The heavy
downpour that occurred in the past weeks unfortunately caused the erosion of the said
substance which led to the contamination of a creek connected to the Indangan-
Mudiang-Ilang River.
Further, the inspectors said that the substance found in Barangay Indangan
emitted a strong odor of oil, which means that the charcoal waste also has the
presence of oil similar to that found in Barangay Mudiang.
The inspection report noted that the charcoal wastes were actually “activated
carbon” that is used to filter and refine edible oil such as those used by oil
manufacturing plants.
Intending to intervene to the matter in order to prevent further damage to the

environment and health of the residents, Councilor Ocampo presented a motion, duly
_____________________________________________________________________________________
seconded by Councilors J.M. Bonguyan, Alejandre, Acosta, L.J. Bonguyan and Braga, to
consider his privilege speech to have been read and passed under First Reading to be
referred to the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. (Docketed as Item
No. 197) He likewise manifested that he wished to invite resource persons from the
different agencies and the people concerned to the next regular session. The Chair
asked Councilor Ocampo to inform the SP Secretary as to the persons he wanted to
invite.
Later, a recess was declared for lunch break.
RECESS
(12:05PM)
When the session resumed at 1:10 in the afternoon, the Presiding Officer
directed the SP Secretary to call the roll again for the purpose of establishing a quorum.
A recess was then declared to wait for other Members of the Body to attend the
session.
RECESS
(1:13PM)
When a quorum was ascertained, the session resumed at 1:15 in the afternoon.
