The record of business

Privilege hour

Discussed

At this point, Honorable Maphilindo Q. Obaob was recognized to avail of his parliamentary privilege, where he brought up issues concerning both personal and collective matters.

Discussion, interpellation, privilege or manifestation carries no legal effect by itself.

Noted or received

Initially, he reported the sad state of a creek near the Pagadian Memorial Garden at Lumbia District which, per observation, had overflowed into the road leading to the nearby residences. He then emphasized, as a measure to correct the appalling condition, the need to construct or repair the drainage canal along P.L. Urro Street particularly the portion leading to the said area. Thereafter, he then suggested that the matter be considered by the Chairperson of the Committee on Infrastructure, Public Bidding and Community Development during Other Matters, which suggestion was noted by the body.

Noting or receiving a communication records its arrival. It is not a decision on its merits.

Discussed

Moreover, he then expressed lament over his observation regarding the lack of keenness of some members of the 15th City Council to participate/attend committee meetings called by the different standing committees of the Sangguniang Panlungsod. He also conveyed his frustration over an incident where a chairperson of a joint committee declined to affix her signature on the committee report for reason that she is absent during the said meeting and that other members had not yet signed the same. Observably, he contended that some members were not fulfilling their mandated responsibilities, as he then challenged those unwilling or unable to faithfully perform their mandated functions to tender their resignation from their committee assignments. Consequently, he questioned whether the presence of representatives in Committee Meetings could suffice in determining a quorum, to which he suggested that the matter must be addressed in the Internal Rules of Procedure before its finalization.

Discussion, interpellation, privilege or manifestation carries no legal effect by itself.

Noted or received

At this juncture, with no interpellation from the Council Members, the manifestations were deemed noted.
