Lot For Aklan DepEd
Dr. Victorina S. Laroza, Aklan Schols Division Superintendent transmitted to the Sang-guniang Panlalawigan (SP) Aklan "A Resolution Appealing to and Requesting The Provincial Government Through the Hon. Governor Carlito S. Marquez and the Hon. Sangguniang Panlalawigan members to Donate A One Thousand Five Hundred Square Meters of land . . . to the Department of Education Division of Aklan".
The resolution originated from the Board of Directors of the Aklan Public School Teachers Association requesting a piece of land where to locate its office building.
The Aklan Public School Teachers Association does not need to appeal and request for another piece of land in Kalibo for its office building. DepEd has already one, strategically located in Poblacion, Numancia, Aklan. The land is adjacent to Numancia Integrated School and the construction commenced during the time of the late Dr. Juada as School Division Superintendent. Some P2 million was already spent for the ground work and concrete posts.
Numancia is an ideal place for an office like the DepEd. It is free of hustle and bustle of urban place like Kalibo. Why not try locating the DepEd Division Office in Numancia and work there? I’m sure they will enjoy every moment of their job there.
Calamity Fund
In Altavas, a town named after an illustrious man, half Spanish and half Pilipino, its Sangguniang Bayan has approved two (2) resolutions which should undergo a very close lock.
One resolution approved and noted by Aklan SP will convert money budgeted for expenses for disaster or calamity mitigation to general fund. That money for conversion to general fund is the calamity fund for 2010 but was not spent as there was no calamity. Is this allowable? Budgetary policy allows it. However, even if converted into a general fund that money could only be spent after three (3) years. However, should a disaster happen before the three year period elapsed, that money could be spent as calamity fund.
The second resolution of SB Altavas approved and SP Aklan noted will grant authority to Altavas Honorable Mayor to buy a vehicle with the use of that calamity money converted into general fund of the municipality. The purchase of that vehicle is by Emergency Purchase.
Is this allowable? Public policy allows Emergency Purchase for two reasons.
First, emergency purchase is allowed if it involves loss of life. A good example of this case is a public official who came from official business. On his way, he met an accident which needs medicine. He can buy that medicine by Emergency Purchase.
Second, emergency purchase is allowed if it involves damage to property. A good example of this is a vehicle on official travel but it stopped on the road because its battery is damaged. That old battery maybe replaced by new one acquired via emergency purchase to restore the vehicle to its normal operating condition. If not, more damage might occur.
