In
history, the Big Bang theory is the exact opposite to the Creation in the Genesis.
The
advocates of this theory were even classified by the Church as heretics for they
tried to present a revolutionary concept on how did Earth came into existence.
Well,
we cannot amplify on this theory here due to space limitation but what only brought
us there is that the terminology is now being used with something remarkable or
exceptional.
And
what the 9th Sangguniang Panlungsod led by Vice-Mayor Nuevas Tirol-Montes did
last Wednesday was to open its first regular session with 2007 with, what else
but a big bang.

For
one, the proposed P.35 billion budget for the city government passed the legislative
wringer pursuant to the approval of Proposed Ordinance No. 27-06 via a unanimous
vote by the city lawmakers. We sponsored the measure during the plenary.
We
thought that Proposed Ordinance No. 11-06 sponsored by City Councilor Urbano H.
Lagunay would not be approved last Wednesday. It turned out that the legislation
was approved smoothly.
The
ordinance adopted the road network scheme at the New Growth Center of the city.

Then
came another milestone legislation through Proposed Ordinance No. 25-06 sponsored
by Majority Floorleader Jose Antonio S. Veloso. The ordinance revised the Code
of Administrative Ordinances of the City of Tagbilaran. It was also unanimously
approved.
For
the record, the three proposed ordinances were approved by the city councilors
in succession.
Finally,
without further ado, the appointment of Dr. Antonio M. Porticos as the new city
health officer was confirmed by the city sanggunian through a proposed resolution
sponsored by City Councilor Edi Borja.

We
met Rich Asuncion a.ka. Rich Angalot of Bool district last Friday together with
the GMA 7 TV crew to campaign for more text votes with her inclusion into the
finalists of the network's "Starstruck."
She
stopped schooling at Holy Name University to pursue her dreams in show business
and we could only pray for her success. We also hope that whatever her successes
in the field she has chosen will not get into her head just like some of our city
residents who tasted a short-lived life of fame and fortune.
So,
let help Rich realize her dreams by sending our text votes.
