Continuous updating of website by uploading ordinances and resolutions passed and approved by the Sangguniang Panlungsod and other legislative matters.

Ang nasabing sesyon ay tumalakay sa layunin nito na mas mabigyang-pansin ang mga usapin tungo sa higit na ikauunlad ng bawat barangay na pagdarausan ng pagpupulong.

“Isang karangalan ang maidaos ang sesyon ng Sangguniang Panlungsod sa aming lugar,” ayon sa mga opisyales at mamamayan ng Barangay Gutad.  Lubos na ikinatuwa ng mga dumalo ang naturang programa na anila ay makapagbibigay sa kanila ng pagkakataon na agad na mailapit at maipahayag ang mga napapanahong isyu o suliranin sa kanilang barangay. Agad din namang nagpahayag ng suporta si Vice Mayor Perez hinggil sa mga nabanggit na isyu na kailangang tutukan sa Barangay Gutad.

Nakiisa din sa sesyon sina Edgardo R. Salamanca at Eduardo C. Cruz, mga punung-barangay ng Navotas at Nag-Iba II.

Nakatakdang ganapin ang mga susunod na pagpupulong ng SP sa iba pang mga barangay sa Lungsod ng Calapan na inaasahang higit na magbibigkis sa mga barangay at ng lokal na pamahalaan ng syudad.

Naging maayos at matagumpay ang daloy ng pagpupulong na ginawa sa wikang Tagalog bilang paggalang sa pagdaraos ng Buwan ng Wika ngaung buwan ng Agosto.  Nagsimula ang sesyon ganap na alas diyes ng umaga at natapos ito alas dose ng tanghali. Ito ay tumalakay sa mga bagay na may kinalaman sa mga batas na higit pang magpapaunlad hindi lamang ng nabanggit na barangay kundi maging ng buong lungsod ng Calapan.

Iginawad ni Vice Mayor Perez ang isang Plaque of Appreciation kay Brgy. Chairman Evangeline Beron, sampu ng kanyang mga konsehal. Aniya, “Ako ay nagpapasalamat sa ibinigay ninyong pagkakataon na makapagdaos kami dito ng aming pagpupulong. Makakaasa kayong buo ang aking suporta sa mga proyektong isusulong nyo para sa kaunlaran at pagkakaisa ng Brgy. Balingayan.”

Gaganapin ang mga susunod pang pagpupulong sa iba pang barangay ng Lungsod ng Calapan na siyang lalong magpapalalim at magpapatibay ng ugnayan sa pagitan ng pamahalaan at mamamayan ng Calapan.

The “Green Calapan” program initiated by Vice Mayor “CA” Jojo S. Perez was successfully launched on May 5, 2011 with a series of activities to promote the advocacy. Among these activities is the TAkbo para sa kalikasan which was participated by many Calapenos of different ages. This had been simultaneous with the Linis Lungsod in all barangays in the City.

After this, a simple yet meaningful program was witnessed by the City Government officials and employees and some guests from different agencies, organizations and the media. City Mayor Doy C. Leachon and the City Council also graced the said program and initiated the ceremonial tree planting together with all the department heads of the City Government. The Signing of the

Memorandum of Agreement regarding the Establishment of Barangay Materials Recovery Facilities in the City also happened during the program. Lastly, the winners of the Takbo Para sa Kalikasan and Inter-Barangay Poster-Making Contest were awarded their prizes.
In his message, Vice Mayor “CA” Jojo S. Perez enjoined all Calapenos to work together to save, protect and nurture our environment before it is too late and we can no longer repair the damage. He said that the effects of climate change and global warming is very alarming and that it is now that we should act seriously. He encouraged everyone to plant trees since this can greatly help lessen the adverse effects of environmental degradation.

The program was culminated by the appearance of candidates of the Ms. Philippines Earth 2011. It is an immense pride for Calapan City to be hosting the Long Gown Competition of the famous beauty pageant which also promotes environmental awareness.

Offered by the Chairman of the Committee on Transportation and Public Utilities, Hon. Asel M. Agua, the said legislation is in accord with the objective of the City Mayor, Atty. Doy C. Leachon, to beautify Calapan City and eliminate all eyesores especially within the town proper in realization of the vision of “Ang Bagong Calapan”.

Hanging disarrayed cables have been noticeable in areas of J.P Rizal, Leuterio, Juan Luna and other areas have become an annoying and embarrassing site particularly to tourists and visitors. The City Government felt it is high time to call the attention of all concerned companies to resolve the problem.

In the committee hearing conducted the Committee En Banc last February 18, 2011 at the Legislative Conference Room, representatives from Globe Telecomm, Tamaraw Vision Network, Calapan Cable Network, Calapan Telephone System, Inc., and ORMECO assured their compliance and promised to work simultaneously to fix their cluttered wires and cables at the soonest possible time. They all agreed to start the survey and assessment of the areas on February 21 so they can begin with the job immediately on February 26, 2011. Mayor Leachon, who was also present during the committee hearing, gladly thanked them and commended Vice Mayor Perez and the Sangguniang Panlungsod for acting on the problem at once.
