Aklan Governor Carlito S. Marquez in his desire to make sure that the plans, program and projects aimed to rehabilitate and preserve the Aklan rivers system will be properly implemented, designated the man who himself is the brain that conceptualize the very novel idea.
Former 3-termer Congressman Allen S. Quimpo of the Lone District of Aklan is now designated the Executive Director of Aklan’s Rivers Development Council which the incumbent governor himself chairs.
Through the Provincial Ordinance No. 05-206, the Aklan Rivers Development Council was established and through this enactment the council’s powers, functions and sources of funds were specifically defined.
The establishment of the Aklan Rivers Development Council should have been a national law, courtesy of Congressman Quimpo who introduced it in the House of Representatives when he was yet a member of the lower chamber of Congress. His bill was already in the third and final reading in the Senate when Congress adjourned after the termination of its term in 2001.
The ordinance vests the council with extensive and comprehensive power aimed at synchronizing plans, programs and projects for the rehabilitation of the Aklan rivers.
By rivers system of Aklan means the rivers that run from the upland areas of Libacao and Madalag, down to Balete, Altavas Malinao, Banga, Lezo, Numancia, Batan, New Washington, Makato, Tangalan, Ibajay, Nabas, Buruanga, Malay, and Kalibo until the Sibuyan Sea where the river tributaries drain.
The biggest of the rivers system are the Aklan, the Timbahan and the Dumalaylay rivers.
As executive director, Quimpo will run the day-to-day affairs of the council as well as craft comprehensive plans and programs for\ implementation designed to preserve nature in the rivers system.
Among the broad powers of the conservation secretariat headed by the former Congressman is to formulate a comprehensive annual, 3-year, medium and long term development plan for the conservation and rehabilitation of the province’s river system.
Since this council failed to be passed as a law, Marquez and Vice Governor Ronquillo C. Tolentino deemed it to adopt as a provincial ordinance which was swiftly and unanimously passed by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Aklan. MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
