conflict with any provisions of this ordinance, are hereby repealed.
SECTION 33. – SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. If for any reasons, any part of this ordinance shall take effect
fifteen (15) days after approval of the Body and after due information and proper publication.
SECTION 1. – RATIONALE. Taking into consideration the applicability of the provisions of R.A. No.
8550 in protecting and conserving of the aquatic products within the territorial jurisdiction of the Local
Government Units, by way of regulation, this Sangguniang Bayan deems it proper to adopt the Philippine
Fisheries Code of 1998 as part of its local ordinances.
SECTION 2. – R.A. NO. 8550. ADOPTION. R.A. No. 8550, the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998, is
hereby adopted as part of the local ordinances of the Local Government of Malay.
SECTION 3. – PENALTY. Any person caught violating pertinent provisions of R.A. No. 8550 shall
be punished by a fine of TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED PESOS (₱2,500.00) or an imprisonment of six

SECTION 1. – RATIONALE. The Local Government Code of 1991 has devolved the management of
municipal waters and its coastal and fishery resources to the municipal government. With this
devolution, the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998 mandates all coastal municipalities to enact ordinances
that will address the sustainable management, utilization, development and conservation thereof.
Towards this end, this Sangguniang Bayan believes that the creation of a geo-marine aqua park offshore
Boracay Island shall regenerate and rehabilitate the coral system in the area. Considering however, the
financial and technological constraints besetting the Local Government of Malay, collaboration with a
private entity is the best option. Further, said collaboration shall bring about shared responsibilities in
maintaining a sound ecological balance and enhance further the quality of our marine environment,
hence this piece of legislation.
SECTION 2. – GEO-MARINE AQUA PARK. DESIGNATION. An area of twenty (20) hectares located at
four hundred (400) meters off-shore the long beach from Friday’s Resort and One white Beach Resort to
Station One (1), Barangay Balabag, Boracay Island is hereby designated as Geo-Marine Aqua Park. This
designated reserve area is defined as within the following coordinates: (Note: Demarcation in exact
latitude/longitude lines)

compact calcareous or horny specules and represented by red, pink and white corals which are
considered precious corals; the Antipatharians, characterized by a thorny, horny axis and
represented by the black coral which are considered semi-precious corals, and ordinary corals which

aa) MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE NO. 284, S. 2010; AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE BARANGAY
SPECIAL BENEFIT AND SERVICE IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM (BSBSIS), CREATING THE NECESSARY
FINANCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL MECHANISMS, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREOF.
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
The Local Government Code of 1991 has set the directions for local government units to be
creative and innovative in the exercise of its powers to become more attuned to the call of a more
genuine and meaningful local autonomy within the bounds of decentralization. Over the years, local
governments have managed to showcase countless and noteworthy experiences that manifest the gains
of local autonomy– one that is attaining their fullest development as self-reliant communities and has
proved to become more effective partners in the attainment of national goals.
In 2006, the Liga ng mga Barangay–Malay Chapter has launched a program designed to grant
special benefit to barangay tanods by providing them financial assistance in case of untimely death
during their incumbency, medical assistance, and human resource improvement, such as providing
trainings, equipage, etc. The program was seen to be successful that it progressed by expanding the
program coverage to include elective barangay officials, barangay secretaries, treasurers, and other
appointive barangay officials and employees.
The program functions as a response to the various Local Government Code provisions on
providing additional benefits, assistance and other forms of support for barangay officials and employees,
to enumerate as follows:
1. Section 393 of the Local Government Code of 1991 provides that barangay officials shall be accorded
the following benefits:
A. Be entitled to free medical care including subsistence, medicines, and medical attendance in any
government hospital or institution: Provided, that such hospital care shall include surgery or
surgical expenses, medicines, X-rays, laboratory fees, and other hospital expenses.
This codal provision however, cannot be effectively implemented by the barangays due
to the lack or insufficiency of funds, especially so, that the same must be an item expenditure of
the annual or supplemental budget. Most if not all barangays has scarcity of resources to finance
Page 153
its development projects, that setting–up a reasonable amount for said purposes is seen as
unnecessary.
B. All duly appointed members of the barangay tanod brigades, or their equivalent, which
shall number not more than twenty (20) in each barangay, shall be granted insurance or other
benefits during their incumbency, chargeable to the barangay or the city or municipal
government to which the barangay belongs. [Section 393 (d), LGC of 1991].
Several barangays prior to the implementation of the program has allocated and
bought insurance coverage for members of the barangay tanods with private insurance
companies but the same must be renewed and paid annually, seemingly thought of as wasting
resources.
The local chapter of the Liga ng mga Barangay proposed to pool financial resources by
maintaining a fund which will address the grant of insurance or other benefits to barangay
tanods with funds continuously growing and increasing.
Section 447 (a) (1), Local Government Code of 1991 provides that Sangguniang Bayan shall:
A. Provide for legal assistance to barangay officials who, in the performance of their official duties or on
the occasion thereof, have to initiate judicial proceedings or defend themselves against legal action.
[Section 447 (a) (1) (xii)]; and
B. Provide for group insurance or additional insurance coverage for barangay officials, including
members of barangay tanod brigades and other service units, with public or private insurance
companies, when the finances of the municipal government allow said coverage. [Section 447 (a) (1)
(xii)].

OF THE TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL PROGRAM IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF MALAY TO STRENGTHEN
AND SUPPORT ALL ACTIVITIES OF THE PROGRAM TO ATTAIN A TUBERCULOSIS-FREE
COMMUNITY AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREOF.
WHEREAS, Section 17(b)(2)(iii) of Republic Act No. 7160, otherwise known as the Local
Government Code of the 1991 provides that “health services, which include the implementation of
programs and projects on primary health care, maternal and child care, and communicable and non-
communicable disease control services; access to secondary and tertiary health services: purchase of
medicines, medical supplies, and equipment needed to carry out the services herein enumerated “are the
duties and responsibilities of the Local Government Units;
WHEREAS, tuberculosis remains a major public health concern in the Municipality where the
percentage of cases found – Case Detection Rate of 118% – is above/below the national standard of 70%,
and the percentage of TB patients who complete treatment and are confirmed as cured – Cure Rate of
71% - is above/below the national standard of 85%.
WHEREAS, the low Cure Rate of 71% is a result of delayed/lack of sputum follow up. The low
Cure Rate means that patients are not completing and confirming treatment. Uncompleted treatment
may result in Multi-Drug Resistant TB which is much more difficult and expensive to treat;
WHEREAS, it is important for the Municipality to always monitor and evaluate the performance
of the RHU and Barangay Health Stations, as well as the medical personnel who provide public health
services;
WHEREAS, the Municipality has been unable to provide adequate services to TB control due to
the absence of a microscopist who is responsible for the diagnosis or identification of TB cases and to
confirm those under treatment as cured;
WHEREAS, the Municipality has not been able to provide adequate services to TB control due to
lack of equipment at the Rural Health Unit, specifically a fully functioning microscope;
WHEREAS, while the National Government, through the Provincial Health Office, is responsible
for providing drugs and other commodities that are essential to TB control, such supply has been erratic
at times. Therefore, it is essential for the Municipality to provide buffer stock of the necessary drugs and
commodities;
WHEREAS, many symptomatic and patients with TB reside in inaccessible areas of the
Municipality, resulting in their not being detected and cured. Since symptomatics and patients are unable
to go to the RHU, medical personnel should go to the symptomatics and patients. The Municipality should
reach out to the symptomatics and patients by setting up remote smearing stations; house to house
campaigns; medical outreach program; and organizing communities to provide support to TB patients.
Page 170
WHEREAS, the success of TB treatment depends on the patient getting support and
encouragement from treatment partner, who ensures that drugs are taken daily and that follow up
sputum exam schedules are adhered to. It is important for treatment partners to be able to go to the
patients, rather than the patients going to the treatment partner, particularly if distances are far, to
ensure treatment compliance;
SECTION 1. – DECLARATION OF POLICY. The Municipality of Malay joins the government’s efforts to
institute an effective program for Tuberculosis Control through the National Tuberculosis Control
Program (NTP), the Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) strategy of the National
Tuberculosis Control Program (NTP) (Executive Order No. 187, 21 March 2003) shall be the main
