2 At this juncture, Hon. Lagare relinquished the chair to Hon. Bagonoc. (Hon. Elizabeth B. Bagonoc Presiding Officer) Hon. Dominador S. Lagare III was the second speaker. He took issue of improving the information dissemination process of the city as such he gave way to Mr. Gabriel Cuaycong of Prime Group, Incorporated (PGI) to present their proposed project for the city. On suspended rules, Mr. Cuaycong had his presentation. He gave an overview of their organization and then discussed their proposed donation project to the city, to include: bus/jeepney waiting shed; lamp post with banner; and LED billboard. Hon. Lagare explained that this was being presented for the Council s scrutiny, suggestions or additional inputs that will be considered in the drafting of the memorandum of agreement by the executive. During the period of discussion, the following concerns or comments were duly noted, as follows: Treating this project as a donation is a misnomer for it is more of a marketing strategy considering that PGI is in advertising business; This is a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project, and the same will be turned over to the city after five (5) years, however it was suggested that this be treated as Public-Private-Partnership (PPP); waiting sheds should not be placed in corners and should be installed in accordance with the existing city ordinance; Billboards should not disturb the vision of the pedestrians and drivers and that GAD committee should be consulted in all advertisements; The city should have a percentage share on the revenue; The proposal should be reviewed thoroughly taking into consideration RA 7718 since this is a BOT project. In closing, the chair thanked Mr. Cuaycong for his presence and his presentation and thereafter relinquished the chair to Hon. Lagare. (Hon. Dominador S. Lagare III Presiding Officer) The third speaker was Hon. Elizabeth B. Bagonoc. She thanked the body for granting her motion for reconsideration to avail of the privilege hour. The speaker relayed that she was invited to attend and be the speaker of the General Santos City Police Office headed by City Director, P/SSupt Froilan Flores Quidilla on their activity last January 27, 2014 in commemoration of the 23 rd Foundation Anniversary of the Philippine National Police.
