Committee Report No. 130 from the Joint Committee Report No. 130 from the Committee on Laws, Rules and Policy Formulation and Committee on Police, Fire and Public Safety, as reported by Honorable Bana, for Referral No. 15cc-0091, on the endorsement request of the Honorable City Mayor for an authority to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), Regional Office IX, re: for BJMP to use Manga Falls Facility, including its buildings and improvements as their training site for BJMP Personnel.

Approved
Based on the Committee’s findings, the MOA does not clearly define the duties and responsibilities of the BJMP, particularly regarding their occupancy, duty hours, and the number of personnel involved.
