the calamity was experienced by Davao City itself since certain areas of the City were
flooded the night before.

Upon call of the Executive Department, the special session was held to declare
certain barangays to be under a State of Calamity and for authority to release
emergency funds to those barangaysas well as for the Province of Ilocos Norte.

BUSINESS OF THE DAY

COUNCILOR DANILO C. DAYANGHIRANG

As the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Ways and Means and

Appropriations, Councilor Danilo C. Dayanghirang reported to the other members of the
City Council that the City Government of Davao wanted to give assistance to those who
were severely affected by calamity, to wit: 1) PHP 50,000,000.00 for Barangays Los
Amigos, Tugbok Proper, Talomo, and Wangan, this City due to the flashflood brought
about by localized thunderstorm that struck the City on August 28, 2019; and 2) PHP
1,000,000.00 for the Province of Ilocos Norte due to the damage caused by severe
tropical storm “INENG”.

The requirements for the appropriation of the financial assistance were

submitted to Councilor Dayanghirang less than twenty-four (24) hours from when the
calamity happened.

RECESS
(2:50 P.M.)

A copy of Provincial Resolution No. 014-2019 of the 11 th Sangguniang

Panlalawigan of the Province of Ilocos Norte was furnished to the City Council in order
to comply with the requirements for disbursing calamity fund in favour of the said
Province.

For the financial assistance to be given to Barangays Los Amigos, Tugbok Proper,
Talomo and Wangan, this City, the requirements such as the Certificate of Urgency, the
Certificate from the City Treasurer’s Office, the recommendation from the City Disaster
and Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) to extend financial assistance to
the affected barangays, the Resolution of the Davao City Risk Reduction and
Management Council approving such recommendation, have been submitted and
scrutinized by the committee, the only lacking document was the Resolution declaring
that those barangays are under a state of calamity and the Ordinance authorizing the
utilization of a portion of the Quick Response Fund.

The flooding in Davao City affected other Barangays, nonetheless, only four (4)
barangays have been identified by the Risk Reduction Management Council to qualify
for financial assistance to be sourced from the Quick Response Fund.

Councilor Dayanghirang proceeded to present a motion, duly seconded by

Councilors Ralph O. Abella, Nilo D. Abellera, Bai Hundra Cassandra Dominique N.
Advincula, Dante L. Apostol Sr., Conrado C. Baluran, Jessica M. Bonguyan, Louie John
J. Bonguyan, Pilar C. Braga, Augusto Javier G. Campos III, Jonard C. Dayap, Edgar P.
Ibuyan Jr., Edgar R. Ibuyan Sr., Pamela A. Librado-Morata, Jaffar U. Marohomsalic,
Bonifacio E. Militar, Myrna G. L'Dalodo-Ortiz, Antoinette G. Principe-Castrodes, J.
Melchor B. Quitain Jr., Mary Joselle D. Villafuerte and Jesus Joseph P. Zozobrado III,
the proposed Resolution declaring Barangays Los Amigos and Tugbok Proper, both of
Tugbok District, Barangay Talomo, Talomo District and Barangay Wangan, Calinan
District, all of this City, under a state of calamity brought about by the flashflood due to
localized thunderstorm.

At this point, Councilor Jesus Joseph P. Zozobrado III requested to the august
body to allow the representative of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office
(DRRMO) to give a short presentation regarding what happened on the evening of
August 28, 2019 and to answer questions like what are the barangays affected and how
the amount to be given as financial assistance was reached. Consequently, Councilor
Dayanghirang moved, duly seconded by Councilor Jesus Joseph P. Zozobrado III, for
the suspension of rules to allow the representative of DRRMO to speak before the City
Council. With that, the motion was carried and the rules were suspended.

SUSPENDED RULES

Councilor Conrado C. Baluran suggested that a vote of unanimity be registered

for the Resolution.

Councilor Ralph O. Abella manifested that barangays also have their own
Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management (BDRRM) and he wanted to know if the
other members of the City Council would allow the barangays to use their own funds
provided they will submit a Resolution to that effect to the City Council.

Upon being duly recognized by the Temporary Presiding Officer, Mr. Rodrigo C.
Bustillo, the Officer-in-Charge of the DRRMO, reported to the august body that localized
thunderstorms fell upon Davao City, especially on the area near Talomo River, on the
August 28, 2019. The localized thunderstorms brought about torrential rains that led to
the flashflood that affected many of the residents of certain areas such as Barangay Los

_____________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce August 29, 2019/1st Special Session (19th City Council) Page 3 of 25
Amigos, Tugbok Proper, Talomo, Wangan, Balengaeng, Catalunan Pequeño, and
Manambulan.

At the instance of the Temporary Presiding Officer, Mr. Bustillo clarified that he
was referring to Barangay Talomo Proper of the 1 st District and not Barangay Talomo
Riverside.

As early as 4:00 in the afternoon of August 28, 2019, the DRRMO already called
for pre-emptive evacuation. Unfortunately, many of the residents did not heed the call.
At around 5:30 that same afternoon, another call was made, this time, for forced
evacuation. Still, some residents did not heed the call. Due to the failure to respond to
the call of DRRMO, some residents were trapped in their own houses but, thankfully,
they were successfully rescued by DRRMO. Mr. Bustillo surmised that the reason why
the residents did not heed DRRMO’s call for evacuation might have been because the
rains were not as heavy in the low lying areas which were the ones severely affected
than in the uplands which were not as severely affected. For instance, Barangay
Calinan Proper was hit by heavy rains but there was no flood. The low lands like
Barangay Talomo Proper, the main impacted area, suffered more. The water from the
heavy rain in Barangay Calinan Proper went to Barangay Los Amigos, where the City
has a huge relocation area, then to Tugbok District then it flowed to Barangay Talomo
Proper, already in the 1st District.

Of all the barangays, Barangay Talomo Proper was the one most severely
affected as 2,030 families were evacuated. The table below shows the data on how
many people and families were affected:

BARANGAY POPULATION AFFECTED FAMILIES AFFECTED

Los Amigos 3,710 742
Tugbok Proper 2,275 455
Talomo 10,150 2,030
Wangan 1,660 332
TOTAL 17,795 3,550

Barangays Balingaeng and Catalunan Pequeño were only minimally affected by

the flood. Councilor Dayanghirang reiterated that Barangays Los Amigos, Tugbok
Proper, Talomo and Wangan were the ones most severely affected by the flood and the
other barangays did not suffer as much.

INTERPELLATION OF COUNCILOR JESUS JOSEPH P. ZOZOBRADO III

Councilor Jesus Joseph P. Zozobrado III took the floor and asked Mr. Bustillo for
the time when the rain started in Barangays Subasta, Sirib and Wangan. Mr. Bustlllo
answered that the rain started at around 3:00 in the afternoon. The Councilor then
asked for the time the flood started in Barangay Talomo Proper and what time the call
for evacuation was made. To this, Mr. Bustillo answered that it started at around 4:20
that same afternoon. The Councilor then inquired why Barangay Talomo Proper was
informed ahead of Barangay Los Amigos and Mr. Bustillos explained that, essentially the
announcement was done simultaneously because the system of DRRMO is made in such
a way that the announcement made using the radio could be received by all barangays,
including the Punong Barangays, simultaneously. Furthermore, at 4:40 in the
afternoon, DRRMO already informed barangay officers, especially those barangays
around Talomo River, to conduct pre-emptive evacuation.

cns/hce August 29, 2019/1st Special Session (19th City Council) Page 4 of 25
 Mr. Bustillo also clarified that there were
the earlier reports. Also, only Barangays Los
Wangan were severely affected and qualified

no casualties to the flood, contrary to
Amigos, Tugbok Proper, Talomo and
for financial assistance. Barangays
and Riverside were excluded because

Councilor Zozobrado III clarified that the announcement must be made

effectively and efficiently and that he wanted to find out avenues for improvement of
the City’s immediate response to a calamity or disaster like the flooding that happened
the night before.

When Councilor Zozobrado III asked for the data on how many people were
affected in Barangays Balingaeng, Catalunan Pequeño, Calinan Proper and Riverside,
Councilor Dayanghirang suggested that the representative from the City Social Services
and Development Office (CSSDO) may answer the question.

As such, the Temporary Presiding Officer recognized Ms. Marilyn Agonia as the
representative of CSSDO and she proceeded to explain that, indeed, there were other
barangays that were heavily hit by the flood, however, these barangays did not comply
with the requirements to declare a state of calamity.

Ms. Agonia noted that pursuant to Memorandum Order No. 60, Series of 2019, of
the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, a State of Calamity can
be declared when at least 15% of the forcasted affected population based on science-
based projection are in need of emergency assistance.

At this juncture, Temporary Presiding Officer Alberto T. Ungab, at the request of

FL J. Melchor B. Quitain Jr., directed that the status of Councilor Diosdado Angelo
Junior R. Mahipus be changed from absent to presented.

Councilor Conrado C. Baluran manifested that it was not right to exclude other
affected barangays. He reported that arounf 1,200 households were affected at
Barangay Riverside and another 1,000 in Barangay Manambulan. Both barangays were
not included in the list of barangays to be given financial assistance.

Councilor Dayanghirang then stated that even if some barangays were not
included in the list, the City still had available funds and the City had always been
generous especially to those in need. He further said that the City Council could pass
another Resolution regarding extending financial assistance to other affected
barangays.

Councilor Bonifacio E. Militar countered that he was told by the City Budget
Officer that the Calamity Fund only had Php 54,000,000.00 left after deducting the
proposed final assistance of Php 50,000,000.00. He agreed to pass another Resolution
for the other affected barangays if the City Government could find another way to fund
it.

Councilor Dayanghirang stated that the barangays mentioned by Councilors

Zozobrado III and Baluran should receive the same the same amount as those given to
Barangays Los Amigos, Catalunan Pequeño, Talomo and Wangan.

Ms. Agonia stated that the proposed financial assistance was only for the
barangays that complied with the requirements; this did not mean, however, that the
other affected barangays would not be given the same assistance. Affected barangays
_____________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce August 29, 2019/1st Special Session (19th City Council) Page 5 of 25
not included in the list in the proposed Ordinance may be given financial assistance to
be sourced from the Crisis Intervention Fund.

Acting Vice Mayor Alberto T. Ungab established that the time element in times of
disaster and the assistance extended is very important. The shortest time possible is
the best. Hence, the City Government must act according to what data is available.

Councilor Militar asked for an assurance from the City Budget Officer that other
affected barangays will be given the same financial assistance but from another source,
the Crisis Intervention Fund. Councilor Myrna G. L'Dalodo-Ortiz then requested that the
City Budget Officer be allowed to speak before the City Councnil.

At this juncture, Temporary Presiding Officer Alberto T. Ungab, at the request of

FL J. Melchor B. Quitain Jr., directed that the status of Councilor Richlyn N. Justol-
Baguilod be changed from absent to presented.

Upon the recognition of City Budget Officer Ermelinda Furog, Councilor L'Dalodo-
Ortiz asked her for the appropriated amount for the calamity fund in the Annual Budget.
Ms. Furog answered that the calamity fund is 5% of the Annual Budget and 30% of
that is allocated for the Quick Response Fund. She expounded that the crisis
intervention program under the CSSDO is intended for food and non-food assistance.
The fund may be augmented if necessary. The program is already listed under the
Investment Plan.

The Floor Leader then asked what would happen if another calamity would befall
the City and would the City would be able to give another financial assistance. Ms.
Furog replied that assistance may be sourced from the Crisis Intervention Program.

Councilor Baluran wanted to find out who identified which barangay should
receive financial assistance from the City. At this point, the Temporary Presiding Officer
pointed out once again the importance of extending timely help to the City’s affected
residents and that the City Government should act according to the data given.

Councilor Dayanghirang presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilors Ralph

O. Abella, Bai Hundra Cassandra Dominique N. Advincula, Dante L. Apostol, Sr.,
Conrado C. Baluran, Jessica M. Bonguyan, Pilar C. Braga, Augusto Javier G. Campos III,
Jonard C. Dayap, Edgar P. Ibuyan Jr., Edgar R. Ibuyan Sr., Richlyn N. Justol-Baguilod,

Bonifacio E. Militar, Myrna G. L'Dalodo-Ortiz, Antoinette G. Principe-Castrodes, Mary
Joselle D. Villafuerte and Jesus Joseph P. Zozobrado III, for the approval of a
Resolution requesting the CSSDO and DRRMO to immediately give food and non-food
assistance to all barangays affected by the localized thunderstorm.

Councilor Mahipus Jr. suggested that the CSSDO should have emergency disaster
packs where each pack will contain all the food and non-food assistance and ready for
distribution.

Councilor Militar took the floor and requested for a reconsideration on the
approval of the Resolution giving the PHP 50,000,000.00 assistance. Councilor
Dayanghirang so moved, duly seconded by Councilors Mary Joselle D. Villafuerte, Edgar
P. Ibuyan Jr. and Ralph O. Abella; the motion was approved and the approval of said
Resolution was reconsidered.

Ms. Agonia of CSSDO was recognized once again to answer the querries of
Councilor Militar. The Councilor asked what kind of assistance will be given and how
such assistance will be distributed. Ms. Agonia explained that the City will give food
and non-food assistance, consisting of clothing, beddings, kitchen utensils and hygiene
kits, to those residents who were affected by the flood. As to exactly how the
assistance will be distributed, the staff of CSSDO are the ones who knew the exact
procedure.

Councilor Militar requested Ms. Agonia to furnish the City Council with the copy
of the rules of procedure for the distribution of the assistance. He then asked if CSSDO
also distributes medicine and medical supplies. Ms. Agonia replied that it is the City
Health Office (CHO) that distributes those. Councilor Militar then asked why there is a
ten percent (10%) retention everytime the City Councilors have purchase requests and
he asked for its legal basis. Since the City Budget Officer was more adept at answering
this question, she was called to answer it on the floor

Ms. Furog stated that the 10% retention was a requirement for all purchase
requests and that it was based on a Resolution issued by the Local Finance Committee.
This 10% retention serves as buffer for budget control. It is utilized once the City
Treasurer’s Office has achieved its projected collection for the year.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce August 29, 2019/1st Special Session (19th City Council) Page 9 of 25
 Councilor Dayanghirang then gave an input that the 10% retention was legal
because the purchase request is already in the budget.

Councilor Pilar C. Braga, at this point intervened and proposed a Resolution

requesting DRRMO and CSSDO to subit reports to the City Council. This, however, was
requested to be reiterated after Councilor Dayanghirang presented is motion to the
body.

Consequently, Councilor Dayanghirang moved, duly seconded by Councilors

Diosdado Angelo Junior R. Mahipus, Jonard C. Dayap, Jaffar U. Marohomsalic, Pilar C.
Braga, Richlyn N. Justol-Baguilod, Ralph O. Abella and Jesus Joseph P. Zozobrado III,
to reiterate the approval of Resolution No. 0107-19. There being no further
discussions, the motion was approved.

The Councilor then moved, duly seconded by Councilors Bonifacio E. Militar,

Myrna G. L'Dalodo-Ortiz, Mary Joselle D. Villafuerte and Pilar C. Braga, to recall the
Resolution requesting the CSSDO and DRRMO to immediately give food and non-food
assistance to all barangays affected by the localized thunderstorm. With this, the
motion was approved.

On motion of Councilor Dayanghirang, duly seconded by Councilors Pilar C.

Braga and Jesus Joseph P. Zozobrado III, the following Resolution was approved:
