BAGUIO
CITY – Fifty one residents of North Sanitary Camp now have the chance to own
the lots they have been occupying for decades near the Baguio Sewerage
Treatment Plant after the city government approved their application for the
disposition of said lots in their favor.
The lot allocates last
Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Agreement or Deed of Sale with the city
government represented by Mayor Mauricio Domogan and witnessed by City Council
Committee on Urban Planning, Lands and Housing Chair Councilor Edgar Avila and
North Sanitary Camp Punong Barangay Virgilio Orca allowing them to purchase the
lots from the city government.
Under the MOA, the
grantees can buy the lot owned by the city measuring 5,554 square meters at
P2,500 per square meter or a total cost of P13,885,000 as determined by the
City’s Appraisal Committee.
Avila’s
committee worked out the processing of the applications for which he said the
applicants waited for 15-20 years.
The city’s approval was
by virtue of Resolution No. 197 series of 1989 which approved the awarding of
lots to the occupants and which paved the way for the conduct of a subdivision
survey of the area.
The city council in
Resolution No. 10 series of 2019 approved the sale and authorized the mayhor to
enter into a MOA with the occupants.
Meanwhile, Avila said
that 118 long-time residents of Teacher’s Camp-Cabinet Hill who were affected
by Proclamation 613 “Amending Proclamation No. 290, Dated July 18, 1988 which
Established the Teachers’ Camp Reservation, Baguio City, by Excluding from its
Operation a Portion of the Land Embraced Therein Situated in Res. Sec. “C” and
“F”, Baguio City and Reserving the Same for Housing Site Purposes Open for
Disposition in Favor of the Actual Occupants” were also awarded the lots they
have been occupying also last Tuesday.
On March 28, a total of
100 lot applicants at the San Luis-San Roque area who have settled at the
city-owned cemetery lot will also be given the chance to own the lots.
Proceeds of the sale
will be used to purchase a cemetery lot at a new site.

Mayor
Mauricio Domogan last week directed the monitoring of electric and fuel
consumption of the city government in compliance with the Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Program of the national government.
The mayor tasked General
Services Officer Eugene Buyucan to do the monitoring and to prepare and submit
semi-annual report to the Dept. of Energy.
In
Memorandum Mo. 55 series of 2019, the mayor reminded all departments and
offices to switch off lights, computer sets and other electrical equipment when
not in use.
He also urged
departments to strictly require the accomplishment of trip tickets before the
use of all motor vehicles owned by the city government.
To ensure that the “no
approved driver’s trip ticket-no travel” policy is observed, the mayor tasked
the security guards of the GMT Interlink Security Management Corp. to require
drivers to present an approved trip ticket before using service vehicles to go
out of the premises of City hall areas especially during weekends and holidays.
The EE&C Program of
the DOE aims to standardize energy efficiency and conservation measures in the
country by regulating the use of energy efficient technologies in buildings.
It
was carried in the EE&C Act approved last January 16 by both Houses of
Congress.
The Act “provides for
the Local Energy Efficiency and Conservation Plan as well as the inclusion of
Energy Conserving Design on Buildings in the issuance of building permits,”
according to the DOE.
“An Interagency
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Committee will also be created for the
implementation of the Government Energy Management Program (GEMP), which aims
to reduce government agencies' consumption of electricity and petroleum
products.”
