Council approves change of position title at City College

THE 21st City Council, in its regular session on Monday, presided over by Councilor Roger G. Abaday, enacted an ordinance renaming the vacant position “Instructor I” (Item No. 38/SG-12) to “Guidance Counselor II” (SG-12) in the Plantilla of the City College of Cagayan de Oro.

The ordinance provides that the minimum qualification standards for the Guidance Counselor II position include a master’s degree in Guidance Counseling and eligibility under RA 1080 (Guidance Counselor). No experience or training is required for the post.

The measure aims to enhance student support services at the City College by ensuring the presence of a qualified guidance counselor to address the academic, personal, and career development needs of students.

The legislation was sponsored by the committees on education, chaired by Councilor Moreno Y. Daba IV, and on laws and rules, chaired by Councilor Edgar S. Cabanlas. (JAO/SP)
