MisOcc gov’t compliant to OP’s order on Bonifacio mayoral post



 

MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL--The provincial government of Misamis Occidental said it is honoring an order from the Office of the President stating the need to turn over the mayoral leadership in Bonifacio town.

Following the receipt of the order, implemented by the  Department of Interior and Local Government, MisOcc Gov. Henry Oaminal on Wednesday immediately directed Bonifacio's acting mayor, Ricky Bulahan, to transfer his functions and duties back to the then-suspended mayor, Samson Dumanjug.

In an interview, Bulahan said there was a smooth transition of the Mayor’s Office to Dumanjug.

“A good servant is a good follower whatever the mandate of the government is they must follow, they must follow it,” he said.

“As early this morning, ato gyud gidawat ang maong order sa kinasing-kasing gayud ug ato gyud nakita ang right nga opisina sa gobyerno nga maoy ng serve nato so with that effect willing ta nga mo sunod sa mandate under the rule of law sa atong pang gobyerno,” he added.

The Stay Order issued by the OP, dated Oct. 20, was received by the DILG on Oct. 24 and was immediately cascaded to the provincial government.

“In reference to the letter of Dir. Wilhelm M. Suyko, dated October 24—pertinent to the undersigned’s request for an opinion, dated October 23— it is confirmed that the DILG is expecting to receive the official copy of the stay execution order from the Office of the President relative to OP-IAD-23-H-012(SP ADMIN CASE NO. 01-23),” the order stated

As a gesture of amity and adherence to lawful orders of the duly constituted authorities, Bulahan said he immediately released a memorandum order—informing all department heads, officers, and employees that they are again mandated to report back to Mayor Dumanjug upon his re-assumption to the office.

With this development, Dumanjug shall receive all official letters and documents addressed to the Office of the Municipal Mayor of Bonifacio, Misamis Occidental.

The Stay Order acts as a temporary halt in carrying out a judgment. In this specific case, the judgment concerns the Sangguniang Panlalawigan's decision which imposed a penalty of suspension against the Dumanjugs. The implementation of the Order effectively reinstated them in their positions as they await a ruling on their appeal. It's crucial to emphasize that they have lodged an appeal with the Office of the President regarding the Sangguniang Panlalawigan's decision, which is presently under review.(PGMO)

Water System Project gives flowing hope to people of Barangay Bonifacio, Calamba, MisOcc

Image
  In the heart of Misamis Occidental, Barangay Bonifacio in Calamba, there’s a government push for a transformative initiative—a testament that providing a quality public service to every Misamisnon is the primary vision of Governor Henry Oaminal. The provincial government’s water system project has become a lifeline for the residents in the province’s far-flung communities. For years, these people have been suffering from water scarcity, forcing them to exert extra effort to go through difficult digging just to acquire such essential life requirements. Tatay, a resident in the area, shared how hard for him to get water. He has to walk miles-after-miles while carrying heavy water containers rain or shine. When it’s muddy, it's harder for him to cross and trek the bumpy roads. He was teary-eyed while sharing his experiences. “I had to walk for miles, carrying heavy containers, just to fetch water. It was a grueling and time-consuming task. Our daily lives revolved around this quest ...
