3. Hon. Barabag (P.O.) – The special session is in quorum. We may proceed Madam Secretary.

4. Ms. Secretary – As per Calendar of Business Hon. P.O., our only Business for the Day is the Draft
Appropriation Ordinance, but before we will proceed we will revisit our Internal Rules of Procedure
for the purpose of calling this special session. Pursuant to our Internal Rules of Procedure particularly
Rule III on sessions. Section 3 it provides: Special session may be convened on such date, time and
place as called upon by the Local Chief Executive or by the majority of the members of the
Sanggunian on urgent matters or when public interest so demands. There shall no two regular or
special sessions held in a single day. And for our purpose this afternoon Mr. P.O. special session is
called by the Executive apparently for the purpose of our year-end incentives which is I think is on
urgent matter considering that we are about to end the year and we are about to close our session for
the Calendar Year 2017. And another relevant provision Hon. P.O. our Internal Rules of Procedure
also provides that in case of a special session, a written notice or call to its members shall be served at
the place of residence or office of members with proof of service at least 24 hours before the special
session is held. Unless otherwise concurred by 2/3 votes of the Sangguniang Bayan members present,
there being a quorum, no other matters maybe considered at a special session except those stated in the
notice. For the purpose of our special session this afternoon Mr. P.O. we would like to put that on
record that we were able to comply with the provision of our Internal Rules and Procedure specifically
Rule 3 Section 4 on the giving of notice to the members of this honorable body and for the purpose of

Page 1 of 4
 our Calendar of Business Hon. P.O. I think everyone has noticed that the only item under the Business
of the Day is the enactment of the Appropriation Ordinance. I would like to beg the reconsideration of
the members of the Sanggunian because after the thorough study of the documents that has been given
to us this morning, I have seen there is a need to pass a resolution authorizing the Local Finance
Committee or the Executive Department to grant the CNA incentive, aside from the appropriation
ordinance so we will include in the Business for the Day the Draft Resolution authorizing the release
or the grant of the collective negotiation agreement incentive to the municipal officials and permanent
employees.

5. Hon. Barabag (P.O.) – May I request Hon. Sonny Alonzo.

6. Hon. Maralit, Jr. – Mr. Chairman before we start I believe there is a question in here in which on the
communication P 6,274,737.00 will be the appropriation. However, on the Supplemental Budget it is P
8,034,961.00. So we may know on these two figures which will be the right figure will be incorporated
in the ordinance.

7. Ms. Secretary – With due respect to the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Appropriation,
can I give the justification for the… inasmuch as I am the one who had a communication with the
members of the Local Finance Committee. I’m sorry but I think this is the result of my request that a
notice will be sent to beat the time for our requirement of sending notices to the members. So there
was inadvertent underestimated total of the, I think of that Supplemental Budget maybe because of the
appropriations under the MOOE. At any rate the only difference is kaning PS nato dinhi because of the
PEI. So we will follow the Supplemental Budget in the amount of P 8,034,961.00 so that would be the
total amount kay otherwise this 6 million is not enough it’s not sufficient for the benefits of the
employees.

8. Hon. Barabag (P.O.) – Are you satisfied of the answer of your inquiry? We will proceed, so I would
like to recognize Hon. Sonny Alonzo, Jr.

9. Ms. Secretary – You have to adopt the the Calendar of Business including the resolution.

10. Hon. Barabag (P.O.) – Hon. Maralit, Jr. is recognized.

11. Hon. Maralit, Jr. – I move for the adoption of the Calendar of Business including resolution which will
be authorizing the release of that additional CNA.

Kasan Suso, Hon. Gera, Hon. Reden Dacquiado, Hon. Quiñones, Hon. Libre, Hon. Bote and Hon.
