TO address the concerns of the residents of Northville Subdivision in Barangay Lumbia, Councilor Edgar S. Cabanlas, chair of the City Council committee on subdivision, housing development, and landed estate, conducted an ocular inspection of a proposed subdivision project in the area.
The homeowners opposes the said project because of its main road right-of-way issue and the potential disturbance such as the noise caused by the ongoing construction activities. They also voiced concerns about the actual size of the road.
Cabanlas explained that the developer is only applying for PSDP and is still in the early stage of the project, not for Development Permit (DP).
Changes regarding road dimensions and other infrastructure details are subject to approval by the Department of Housing, Settlement and Urban Development (DHSUD), he added.
The councilor also clarified that the City Council’s role is to approve ordinances related to the development project.
“Our function is to approve the ordinance that allows the development to proceed. Matter such as road sizes, and other technical aspects are handled by the DHSUD,” he said.
After thorough review, the committee referred the matter to the committee on laws and rules for appropriate action. (JBD/SP)
The 21st City Council of Cagayan de Oro unanimously passed two separate resolutions congratulating and commending Vice Mayor Jocelyn “Bebot” Rodriguez for her recent achievements in leadership and public service.
The first measure recognizes VM Bebot for being conferred the 2025 Pagasa Regional Award by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) Region 10 last September 17, 2025, at the Limketkai Luxe Hotel.
In 2024, CSC-10 awarded VM Bebot the Dangal ng Bayan Award for her high ethical standards in public service. This year, she is conferred another citation for her outstanding contributions that significantly impact the public and various departments.
Both distinctions are historic, as she is the first Vice Mayor in Northern Mindanao to ever receive such prestigious recognition.
Another resolution commended VM Bebot for her election as Regional Vice President of the Vice Mayors’ League of the Philippines (VMLP) Region X, and for her designation as Interim Vice President for Mindanao of the VMLP National Chapter.
It is worth noting that VM Bebot has consistently championed programs and advocacies aimed at empowering communities, strengthening local governance, and promoting inclusive development. Her recent recognitions further affirm her dedication to public service and leadership excellence. (JDO/SP)
