From triumphs in the fields of governance, education, agriculture, business, and other human enterprises, we continue to build milestones in our day-to-day engagements as members of the community even as we look forward to more growth in various sectors for the general welfare and benefit of the people of Naga.

Alongside with these developments, abreast with the changing times, the City Government of Naga never fails to respond to more challenges that affect every Nagueno. The responsibilities that are being demanded are accordingly being instituted through executive orders, resolutions, ordinances, and other legislative measures that are meant to ensure the well-being and security of every Nagueno, as well as promote his/her values and inspire growth and development for our beloved City of Naga.

In this new edition of the Naga City Gazette, the January- June 2018 Issue, we collated the executive issuances, ordinances and resolutions passed and approved by both the executive and legislative arms of the local government unit of Naga for maximum information and guidance, effective and efficient implementation, and faithful observance by all concerned.

With this gazette, we always want to keep you, our constituents, informed and thus uphold the values of transparency and good governance because we always consider you as collaborators of the whole process of policy-making and governance. We firmly believe that people can only become more assertive and effective as participants when they are made aware of their roles, as well as their rights, as members of the whole community.

With this, we always look forward to a well-informed citizenry that actively participates and involves in addressing the concerns in our beloved City of Naga— making it a truly Maogmang Lugar!

JOHN G. BONGAT City Mayor Our Maogmang Lugar celebrates its Platinum Anniversary this year. Throughout its existence, Naga has evolved from a laid-back provincial urban area to a vibrant and dynamic regional commercial hub. At the social front, the city’s colorful history has been enriched by national and international recognitions on best practices in people- centered local governance.

This unparalleled progress of our city is thanks to the collaborative efforts and indomitable spirit of the Nagueňos. We acknowledge the value of strategic and strong private-public partnership and act as a unified team for the sustainable development of Naga. We also share the same commitment not to rest on laurels but to continue to strive in making the best better.

Being representatives of the people, the 12th Sangguniang Panlungsod is conscious in embodying and reflecting in our works the collective sentiment of the Nagueňos. As such, it can be observed that the ordinances and resolutions published in this Gazette are geared towards improving existing programs, ensuring that they are relevant to modern times and are responsive to present public necessities. For instance, the Empowerment aNd Advancement of Barangays in Local Legislation (ENABL2E) Program, introduced by yours truly, has been revised under Ordinance No. 2018-029 to expand its scope to include the now reformed Sangguniang Kabataan.

Indeed, passage of time and, along with it, the rise of new challenges are inevitable. But similarly natural and unstoppable is Naga’s tradition of cooperation, attitude for excellence and genuine heart for public service. We are confident, therefore, that, hand-in-hand, as we go beyond the city’s 70 years of tale, we shall continually soar to greater heights.

“Gazette” comes from the word gazetta, a Venetian coin used to buy early Italian newspapers. e word later on was loaned into English to describe a newspaper.

In came to be used for an ocial goverment paper with the creation of the London Gazette, rst published in 1665 under the title of e Oxford Gazette.

In the Philippines, the Ocial Gazette rst appeared on August 23, 1898, ten days a er the Battle of Manila when the Spanish surrendered to the Americans. Since then, it became an American era periodical. Today, the Gazette is traditionally referred to as the ocial organ of the Philippine government.

Naga City, for its part, is once more breaking through a new era where new city administration promises to make good governance even better.
