WHEREAS,

the Rural Health Unit (RHU) of Guinobatan serves more or less 90,000 inhabitants
or 19,000 households as per survey conducted by the LGU last 2010, and
provides, among others, medical services reaching up to 150 patients per day, and
dental services reaching 50-70 patients per day, and this number is expected to
continuously increase in the coming years;

WHEREAS,

it is the mandate of every local government to become self-reliant and continue

exercising the powers and discharge the duties and functions currently vested
upon them as are necessary, appropriate or incidental to the efficient and effective
provision of basic services and facilities, such as those pertaining to
medical/health services which include the implementation of programs and
projects on primary health care, maternal and child care, and communicable and
non-communicable disease control services and access to secondary and tertiary
health services, among others;

WHEREAS,

all these programs and projects relative to health are being carried out through the
RHU which is located in the compound of the Bicol University College of
Agriculture and Forestry (BUCAF) in a very minimal area taking into consideration
the number of inhabitants/patients which depend upon its services and visit the
place every day;

WHEREAS,

the local government envisions the provision of a more efficient, improved and
expanded implementation of health programs and services, such as but not limited
to, the addition of doctors/dentists, on-going establishment of a lying-in clinic and
segregation of patients depending on their respective illnesses, which can be, in
actual fact, achieved through the construction of additional health facilities. Thus,
in order to realize this intention, it is regarded by this august body as necessary in
the interest of public service, beneficial to the inhabitants, and practical taking into
consideration the current location of the RHU which is in the BUCAF compound, to
request an additional area of one (1) hectare, for its improvement and expansion
by constructing a new building separate and independent from it, in the form of a
Municipal Hospital;
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 as it hereby requests the Bicol University for an
additional lot intended for the Proposed Municipal Hospital in Guinobatan, Albay,
adjacent to its present Rural Health Unit (RHU) located inside the Bicol University
College of Agriculture and Forestry.

RESOLVED FURTHER, that a copy of this resolution be personally furnished to the Bicol
University by the Hon. Mayor Ann Yap Ongjoco considering the importance and
the nature of this resolution.
APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY on motion of the lead sponsoring committee chairman, Hon.
Councilor Carlomagno P. Flores, duly seconded by the members present this 23rd
day of September, 2013 during their 13th Regular Session.
WE HEREBY certify to the correctness of the foregoing resolution.
