Dear Usec Nepomuceno:

Our scheduled activity would be on May 01, 2023 start at

Our Greetings of Peace and Prosperity!

Sir, Zamboanguita as a 4th class municipality in the province of Negros Oriental. We have
ten (10) large barangays amd a population of around 30,000 at the moment, with a
projected increase of 2% per year.

We have a proposed project of “Concreting of Farm-to-Market Road” on a 1.2 km.

stretch of dirt & rough road in Sitio Casayan, Barangay Calango. This is the only means
of passage for the residents of the said sitio. When the monsoon rains come, this dirt
rough road becomes impassable to motorized vehicles. Farm produce can therefore only
be transported by foot, which would entail delays and possible spoilage.

The problem mentioned above is further compounded by the fact that we are facing a
reduction of our NTA by close to 26 Million, we suffered under COVID, and a series of
typhoons, most notably “Typhoon Odette”, which 74 lives and left 21 more missing in
our province.

Given the predicament that we find ourselves in, we appeal to your kindness and
generosity to grant us financial assistance in the amount of 20.0 Million Pesos. This will
enable us to improve the plight of our farmers, who depend on the land for their
livelihood.

We look forward to a positive response from you Sir, as we continue to give quality
service to our constituency, which is our shared commitment.

Thank you and God Bless!

Respectfully yours,

Sir:

Greetings of Peace!

I have the distinct honor of requesting your good office for the transfer of the assignment
of the following PNP enlisted personnel to the municipality of Zamboanguita. Some of
them were recommended to me by trusted PNP personnel, but the majority I know
personally and have earned my trust.

With these people working with us in the municipality, I am certain that our common
objective of keeping the Peace and Order will not be unattainable.

Also, with due respect to PCPT Rongy Cidro, our recently assigned chief, I know his
qualifications make him fit for the job, but our former chief, PMAJ Paul T. Paden, is
from our town and knows the residents and terrain well enough that he would be more
effective as a chief in our municipality for these reasons.

Therefore, in all humility, I am requesting that these policemen be assigned to our

municipality for a harmonious working relationship with the local government unit.
Enclosed are the names of the PNP personnel concerned.

Thank you and more power Sir!

I remain,

Very respectfully yours,

MR. FERNANDO J. MARTINEZ

Action Officer

Provincial Capitol
Dumaguete City

Sir:

The Municipal Anti-Drug Abuse Council (MADAC) of Zamboanguita,

Negros Oriental, is scheduled to have an interventionist training with DOH7
personnel.

This training will equip new interventionists with the necessary skills for
giving CBDRP (Community Based Drug Rehabilitation Program) sessions
to new enrollees in the program. We are a new administration, and previous
interventionists have now either found new jobs or transferred residences, so
there is a need for training new interventionists.

The municipality of Zamboanguita therefore requests the Provincial Anti-

Drug Abuse Council to facilitate such a training by housing the trainers from
DOH7 and providing the venue.

A total of 50 participants from the municipality will be attending the

activity, which is scheduled for June 21 until June 23, 2023.

Your office has previously facilitated such an activity, and the municipality
will forever be grateful if your office can do so again.

Thank you and God Bless!

Respectfully yours,

JONAH PAT L. AVILES

CHRIS O. VILLASIS
Election Officer III
COMELEC
Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental

Dear Ma’am;

Greetings of Peace!

This is in response to your letter announcing the holding of a public hearing on the issue
of postponing the Barangay and SK elections dated June 15, 2023.
 
Since you have encouraged me to make a position paper on my take on the matter, I am
respectfully submitting my humble opinion on the subject of postponement.
 
I feel that since the issues surrounding the assassination of the late Governor Degamo
have not been resolved as of date, the elections for Barangay Chairman and SK are better
postponed for the minimum period of ninety (90) days or until the COMELEC issues a
resolution that the province cannot be considered an election hot spot and no issues
regarding security and safety in the conduct of elections can be seen.
 
But I would reserve my opinion and give deference to the association of Barangay
Captains since their collective opinions are more relevant as they are directly affected by
this election.

Thank you.

Truly yours,

Dear Dr. Bernadas;

Greetings of Peace!

It is with deep regret that we inform your office of the fact that we have to postpone the
Interventionist Training (CBTRP) activity scheduled on the 21st to 23rd June, 2023, as
requested by the Municipality of Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental.

As you may know we have a new governor (4 th in less than a year) in the person of
Manuel Sagarbarria. His administrator informed Mr. Fernando Martinez, our provincial
action officer of PADAC Negros Oriental to hold all provincial expenditures for 14 days.
Our venue and accommodations for trainors for the duration of the training would have
been borne by the provincial government if it were not for the fact that the BAC (Bids
and Awards Committee) requires a clearance of 14 days before the event.

This would not have been a problem if not for the fact that there have been a change in
the office of the Provincial Administrator.

Since there is no time to reschedule and arrange for an alternate venue, we have no,
recourse but to ask for a postponement.

We know that this cancellation came too close to the schedule but the information from
the provincial level of the problem was relayed to us just this afternoon at 4:30 pm today.

We are saddened by this sudden turn of events but are helpless to make the necessary
arrangements in order for the activity to push through.

Please accept our sincere apologize as we await your decision on the matter.

ANGEL C. ENRIQUEZ
OIC, Regional Executive Director
Regional Field Unit VII
M. Velez St., Cebu City

Dear Director Enriquez,

Greetings of Peace and Prosperity!

We are a 4th-class municipality located south of Dumaguete City. Zamboanguita,

Negros Oriental, is home to farmers and fishermen. We are composed of ten (10)
Large barangays, five of which are coastal, and the other five are mountainous
Barangays. We have a growing population of close to 30,000.

We are now working on our municipality's key projects, which include portable
water supply and the construction of farm-to-market roads.

The rainy season causes problems in the mountainous barangays since the dirt road
becomes nearly inaccessible, forcing farm produce to be transported by foot, causing
delays and possibly spoilage. We also have a problem with our water system in our
municipality.

While we try very hard to cope, yet with our meager resources we are unable to fund
our projects. We are facing a reduction in our NTA of close to 26 Million Php and this
is compounded by the fact that we are still reeling from the effects of the pandemic
and the several typhoons that hit us, more specifically typhoon Odette which created
flash-floods that claimed 74 casualties with 21 others still missing in our province.

It is under these circumstances that we have no recourse but to ask for financial
assistance from our national government, and you are welcome to come to our town
and assess or evaluate the underprivileged areas in our municipality.

We hope and pray that you will grant our request as we continue to fulfill our joint
commitment to serve and improve the predicament of our farmer people and the
entire Zamboanguita community.

Thank you and more power Ma’am!

Respectfully yours,

JONAH PAT L. AVILES

Municipal Mayor
