Sept 18 Votes

Approved on First Reading in yesterday's session were my items on the request of the Chamber for exemption from the signage Ordinance for the Davao Trade Expo 07 next month, and the petition of the DACHEA on some problems besetting our employees union.

I voted for two measures granting the zoning reclassification of two urban poor housing projects.

I also partly presided over the session during the debate on the Shelter Code and discussion of items under suspended rules. Vice Mayor Sara Duterte was at City Hall as OIC Mayor, while Councilor Mabel Acosta, our acting presiding officer, had to rush to be by the bedside of his father at a local hospital.

Approved under my watch were 19 Barangay Supplemental Budgets, commendations for Sunstar, Pagcor's free medical clinic and MAJI's seminar on culture; and calls to stop the distribution of tainted toys from China.
