OLONGAPO CITY COUNCIL APPROVES UNFPA VEHICLE DONATION

The Sangguniang Panlungsod of Olongapo recently passed Resolution No. 94 (series of 2009) entitled, ‘’A Resolution Authorizing City Mayor James Gordon, Jr. to Accept and Receive the Vehicle Donated by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to the City of Olongapo for Use in the Implementation of the 6th Country Program on Population Strategy’’.

On motion of City Councilor Elena C. Dabu, co-sponsored by City Councilors Gina G. Perez, Rodel S. Cerezo, Edwin J. Piano, Angelito W. Baloy, Aquilino Y. Cortez, Jr., Anselmo A. Aquino, Jonathan G. Manalo and Cheenee F. Hoya, the members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod approved the said resolution unanimously.

The UNFPA 4x4 White Toyota Hi-Lux, 2006 Model is initiated to be instrumental in ensuring the quick implementation of the city's initiatives relating to data-collection for the formulation of meaningful policies, and execution of programs on population strategy and reproductive health.

It can be recalled that the UNFPA has been the city's partner in implementing the 6th Country Program on Population Strategy and Reproductive Health which revolves on programs that promote the rights of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity, reduce poverty and ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV/AIDS, and every girl and woman is treated with dignity and respect.
