Barangay Hall of 16-B

Seeking to have a permanent area for the seat of their barangay authorities, Punong Barangay Charles Chang of Barangay 16-B, Obrero of this City sought the help of the City Council to grant their request of a permanent place for their Barangay Hall or Office.

Their request was approved on First Reading last July 12, 2016 and was then discussed for Second Reading on the 11th Regular Session of the 18th City Council dated September 20, 2016. 

The Barangay Council requested for the lot originally issued by the City Government to Mr. Jose Sanchez located along Diaz Street as relocation site of their barangay hall.

Currently, the barangay office is located in a temporary "kubo" rented by the barangay council.

The final decision regarding this item is still pending until the Third and Final Reading.

Before the legislators greet one another a "Happy New Month", the Davao City Council converged for the last Regular session for the Month of June last June 30, 2015.

Of the many agenda for that regular session, Coun. Mabel Sunga Acosta presented for the second reading the Item 1247- Request of Ms. Lubel A. Bañaria, School-in-charge for the approval of the change of school name from "Aledia Elementary School" to "Alfredo A. Aledia Elementary School", as requested by the heirs of the donee. 

Just a little background, the Office of Coun. Mabel Sunga Acosta received a letter-request from Ms. Lubel A. Bañara. It was then submitted for First reading on April 14, 2015 regular session. Then, last May 27, 2015, a committee hearing for the item was scheduled.

The reason for the change of name is to give honor to the late Alfredo A. Aledia. This is in recognition to his donation and his family's continuous support to help provide education for the children of the barangay and places nearby. 

On the June 30 session of the Davao City Council, it was endorsed to the council for the second and final reading and that the Resolution be passed and adopted.
