MUNICIPAL RESOLUTION NO. 024-2013

REQUESTING THE HONORABLE SECRETARY ROGELIO SINGSON OF THE DPWH
THROUGH ITS REGIONAL DIRECTOR IN BICOL TO ALLOCATE FUNDS FOR THE
IMMEDIATE REHABILITATION OF A VITAL BRIDGE WHICH IS IN IMMINENT DANGER OF

ALBAY CONNECTING PRIMARILY THE MUNICIPALITIES OF GUINOBATAN AND JOVELAR.
Proponent/Sponsor:

Hon. Councilor Frances John M. Oxales

WHEREAS,

due to the numerous typhoons that visited the country, such that of Super
Typhoons Reming & Juaning, which brought immense destruction not only in
Guinobatan, but throughout Albay Province since 2006, numerous infrastructure
facilities had been damaged within the municipality, including the subject bridge of
this resolution, situated at Sitio Sagaysay, Barangay Maguiron, this Municipality;

WHEREAS,

this 5-Ton primary bridge at barangay Maguiron serves not only its residents living
in the highland district of the municipality, but as well as passengers, merchants
and travellers, among others from the towns of Jovelar and part of Camalig, as a
convenient access to and from the urban centers and a vital link sooner or later, to
the Bicol International Airport in Alobo, Daraga, Albay and the Donsol- Jovelar ByPass Road when finally opened;

WHEREAS,

numerous typhoons are still expected to visit the municipality within this year and
in the coming years, thus, said bridge, if not immediately and promptly
rehabilitated, would result in its subsequent destruction, and as a necessary
consequence of which is the disruption of convenient and expedient transportation
services, i.e. traversable and passable bridge;

WHEREAS,

in the exercise of the vested powers and functions upon every local government
unit which are essential in the promotion of the general welfare, they shall make
an effort of providing basic services and facilities necessary, appropriate and

incidental in the preservation of their constituents safety, comfort and

convenience, as well as for the benefit of those persons indirectly benefited by its
services, and incident in this function is the need to find ways of realizing these
endeavours, such as resort to other effective and efficient sources imbued with the
much needed capabilities, resources and facilities;
WHEREFORE, in view of the foregoing premises, be it now:
RESOLVED,

as it is hereby resolved by the Sangguniang Bayan of Guinobatan, Albay in

session assembled, to request the Honorable Secretary Rogelio Singson of the
DPWH through its Regional Director in Bicol to allocate funds for the immediate
rehabilitation of a vital bridge which is in imminent danger of collapsing located at
Sitio Sagaysay, Barangay Maguiron, Guinobatan, Albay connecting primarily the
municipalities of Guinobatan and Jovelar.

RESOLVED FURTHER that a copy of this resolution be furnished the Hon. Secretary Singson
through the Hon. Bicol Regional Director of the DPWH, Honorable Danilo E.
Dequito, and all other concerned persons/agencies, for their information and
appropriate action.
APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY on motion of Hon. Councilor Frances John M. Oxales and duly
seconded by the members present this 9th day of September, 2013 during their
11th Regular Session.
WE HEREBY certify to the correctness of the foregoing resolution.
