Updates soon!

Greetings, my apologies for not posting updates on the blog for sometime now. As I have been preoccupied with my other pursuits (yes, I have other interests aside from politics, common laws and the likes.) Please bear with me.

I will be posting updates on Barangay Sto. Cristo's activites these months past since my last post. These include the successful staging of Brgy. Sto. Cristo's Foundation Day celebrations now dubbed "Araw ng Pagkilala sa Barangay Sto. Cristo" as well as other activites held in our barangay.

Salamat po

Two Barangay Resolutions adopted today

April 2, 2009

Two Resolutions have been officially adopted today during the regular session of the Barangay Sto. Cristo Council. In recognition for the need to organize the barangay's firefighting and prevention measures, the council has unanimously adopted a resolution "Creating the Barangay Sto. Cristo Volunteer Fire Brigade". The Resolution, authored by Kgd.Ubales aims to develop the trait of volunteerism in the community, as well as to augment the current fire brigade of the barangay.

Also adopted was a Resolution declaring the 6th of April of every year as "Araw ng Pagkilala sa Barangay Sto.Cristo". In line with the celebration of Barangay Sto. Cristo's foundation day, SK Chair Navarro authored the resolution to serve as an avenue of recognition for exemplary individuals and groups that have given or will give honor to the Barangay.

Copies of the Resolutions can be acquired through the Barangay Sto.Cristo Secretariat at
#5 Romblon St.,Bagao Bantay,Q.C. You may also contact telefax #9270824.

PGMA signs Republic Act 9525 or the Supplemental Budget Law

Just when you think it was going to be another long drawn out election in 2010, PGMA signed the P11.3-billion supplemental budget for automation of the May 2010 polls.

"We see no more obstacles to the implementation by Comelec of a fully automated election system that will ensure honest, efficient, and credible polls next year... With the enactment of the budget into law, the President is living up to her commitment to modernize the electoral process through automation in order to safeguard the true will of the Filipino electorate." Presidential Political Adviser Gabriel Claudio said in a statement.

I am sure I share the public's sentiments when I say, its about time! The public deserves the practicality and convenience that a full automation of polls will afford them. I hope that this will be a cure to the rampant cheating that is synonymous to elections.
