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.”
