THE Bacolod City Council passed on second reading the proposed ordinance entitled an “Ordinance commemorating every June 18 and every year thereafter as the date of the signing into law of Commonwealth Act. No. 326,” otherwise known as “The Charter of the City of Bacolod.”
The ordinance was authored by Councilor Caesar Distrito, chairman of the committee on laws, ordinances and good government. To prevent the ordinance from conflicting with a national law, it was revised to commemorate the signing of the law creating Bacolod City every June 18, as opposed to its previous title which declares the said date as the charter day of the city. It was pointed out during the deliberation later on, the City Government can request the House of Representatives to amend the provisions of Republic Act 7724, which declares October 19 as the charter day of Bacolod City, and change it to the correct date of the foundation of the city. Co-authors of the ordinance are Councilors El Cid Familiaran, Homer Bais, Roberto Rojas, Dindo Ramos, Em Ang, Al Victor Espino, Carl Lopez and Mona Dia Jardin. Carla N. Canet Sun Star Bacolod
