WHEREAS,
every local government unit shall exercise the powers expressly granted,
those necessarily implied therefrom, as well as powers necessary, appropriate or incidental for its
efficient and effective governance, and more importantly, those which are essential to the
promotion of the general welfare. They are also mandated to ensure and support, among other
things, the promotion of health and safety within their territorial jurisdiction;
WHEREAS,
water is one of the basic commodities of every individual as the same is
being used primarily for sanitary and health purposes, aside from the fact that without which, life on
earth would not be possible. There arises, therefore, the need for the provision of a clean, potable,
safe and continuous supply of water in every household to ensure that every member of the family
is living as healthy individuals;
WHEREAS,
to date, the Barangays of Upper and Lower Binogsacan, being resided
in by a considerably large number of constituents, are not covered/ not being reached by the water
system being managed by the Guinobatan Water System Office (GWSO). Due to this, the
residents therein are compelled to provide for their own water sources believed not to be potable
and filtered, hence, there arises the probability of the growth of waterborne diseases among the
residents;
WHEREAS,
with the great importance of the provision of sustainable water supply in
every community, this august body, as much as it is willing to expand/provide for the same, does
not possess the necessary source and is thereby now obligated to seek the most indispensable

assistance, in the sourcing out of funds, of the Department of Public Works and Highways Regional
Office No. 05 which we believe to possess both the authority to realize the same and the concern
for our constituents;
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 Department of Public Works and
Highways, Region V for the inclusion in its priority projects the construction of water system in the
Barangays Upper Binogsacan and Lower Binogsacan of Guinobatan, Albay in the amount of Two
Million Pesos.
RESOLVED FURTHER, that a copy of this resolution be furnished the Department of
Public Works and Highways Regional Office No. 5, the Office of the Municipal Mayor and the
GWSO, and such other concerned offices or agencies, for their information and appropriate action.
APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, on motion of the Sponsoring Committee Chairman on
Infrastructure, Honorable Councilor Frances John M. Oxales, and duly seconded by the members
present this 20th day of October, 2014 during their 38th Regular Session.

WE HEREBY certify to the correctness of the foregoing resolution.
