MUNICIPAL RESOLUTION NO. 014-2013

REQUESTING HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT BENIGNO C. AQUINO III TO
ALLOCATE FUNDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF FLOOD CONTROL DIKE

LOCATED IN THE VICINITY IN THE AMOUNT OF PHP10,000,000.00.

Hon. Councilor Frances John M. Oxales
WHEREAS, since the occurrence of Super Typhoon Reming in November, 2006
that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people in this municipality, with hundreds more
missing, highlights the need for the construction of flood control dikes in this area as
there are still millions of tons of volcanic debris deposited on the slopes of Mayon
Volcano and with its continued eruption and flooding brought about by the yearly visiting
typhoons from the months of June to November, it continue to pose an imminent threat to
the people of the Municipality of Guinobatan especially to its main water reservoir
located just about 30 meters below the existing Mayon River Gully, a new and wider
river canal created and established by Super Typhoon Reming;
WHEREAS, dikes were constructed around Mt. Pinatubo after its one massive
eruption in 1991 but its scale is comparable to the regular eruption of Mt. Mayon that
deposits volcanic debris on its steep slopes waiting for heavy rains to wash it down and
onto ravines that more often than not terminates on towns at its base;
WHEREFORE, the foregoing premises considered;
RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the Sangguniang Bayan of
Guinobatan, Albay in session assembled to request, as it hereby requests His Excellency
President Benigno C. Aquino III to earmark Php 10 Million Pesos, more or less, in favor

during typhoons, heavy rains, eruptions and similar disasters.
RESOLVED FURTHER, that attached to this resolution for reference by the
Office of the President are the following documents:
1. Project Site Plan
2. Program Design/Perspective
3. Program of Work
RESOLVED FINALLY, that a copy of this resolution together with its
