The Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod 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 326 or The Charter of the City of Bacolod.”
The ordinance was authored by Councilor Caesar Distrito, chairman of the SP Committee on Laws, Ordinances and Good Government, a press release from his office said. To prevent the ordinance from conflicting with a national law, this was revised into “commemorating every June 18 as the signing of the law creating Bacolod City” from its previous title which declares the date as the charter day of the city, it said. It was pointed out during the deliberation that 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, the release said. The ordinance was co-authored by Councilors ElCid Familiaran, Homer Bais, Roberto Rojas, Dindo Ramos, Em Ang, Al Victor Espino, Carl Lopez and Mona Dia Jardin.*CGS
