The Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod has approved on third and final reading Tuesday the amended Barangay Paglaum Ordinance and set the plebiscite on it on December 15, 2012 to determine if the residents want Paglaum to become a barangay.
The ordinance was authored by Councilor Caesar Distrito, withCouncilors Em Legaspi-Ang, Al Victor Espino, Roberto Rojas, Carlos Jose Lopez, Dindo Ramos, Homer Bais, El Cid Familiaran, Archie Baribar and Mona Dia Jardin, as co-authors. The ordinance provides that the date for the plebiscite will be December 15, 2012, as suggested by the Commission on Elections, and with the support of the Barangay Council of Mansilingan, who had earlier passed a resolution calling for the holding of the plebiscite. It provides that in case the “yes” votes win in the plebiscite, Paglaum will become the 62nd barangay of Bacolod, and Mayor Evelio Leonardia is mandated to organize the local government unit with the appointment of its officials, such as the barangay captain, seven barangay kagawads, Sangguniang Kabataan chairman and seven SK kagawads. Distrito said the ball is already in the hands of the people of Barangay Mansilingan, including those of Paglaum Village, and its neighboring communities that will comprise the new barangay. To ensure that the plebiscite will push through, the ordinance provides a P5 million budget to be appropriated for the conduct of the plebiscite, which is to be administered by COMELEC, Distrito said. Distrito said it is only Mayor Leonardia who can say that funds are available for the conduct of the plebiscite, as the SP had already appropriated P5 million as embodied in the amended ordinance.
