From : The Chairperson, Committee on Rules, Privileges & Amendments

Subject: Sorsogon City Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2011 ORDINANCE REGULATING
THE OPERATIONS OF SECURITY, WATCHMAN AND DETECTIVE
AGENCIES IN SORSOGON CITY AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR THE
VIOLATIONS THEREOF.
A committee hearing on the above-mentioned ordinance was conducted on July 20, 2011,

Member Angel E. Escandor, Mr. Ron Ely L. Espinosa, OIC-City Legal Services Office, Mr.
Jose M. Madrid III, from the City Legal Services Office, Mr. Mandy Lucila, representing the
Office of the Vice Mayor, Mr. Dan G. Alcala, representing the Office of the Secretary and PSI
Rosalito D. Gapan, Sorsogon attending.
After thorough discussion the Joint Committee hereby submits the following findings and
recommendation, to wit:
FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION:
Above joint committee resolved to return subject ordinance to the LGU of Sorsogon City
without action. The purpose of which is to give the Sangguniang Panlungsod the chance to
improve and/or specify the very purpose for which it was passed. If the Sorsogon City
government intends to regulate, to a certain extent, the operation of security, watchmen and
detective agencies within the city, specific areas of their operation must be clearly provided
therein for its easy implementation.
It was observed during the committee deliberation that certain areas thereon are already
within the ambit of other pertinent laws, rules and regulations, such as the compliance for
Mayors Permit, if a branch/office is to be opened here in the city. The requirements for the
issuance of Mayors Permit are already settled or well-established.
318

Minutes No. 32-2011, Aug. 08, 2011..

The provisions under Section 4 thereof specifically numbers 2, 3 and 4, while they may
have laudable purposes(s), are prone to confusion due to the constant transfer/change of
personnel and equipment by these agencies at times outside city jurisdiction.
Moreover, under Section 6 (Penalty Clause), number 2 thereof is already covered by a
national law including the penalties thereof.
Let a copy of this report be furnished the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Sorsogon City for
its information and appropriate action.
