President Duterte has been asked by a majority of the city council to veto a new bill modernizing the 1909 Baguio Charter, primarily because it does not allow residents to ratify “this most important” policy document.
The previous House Bill No. 3759 was vetoed by the late President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III for retaining outdated provisions that clash with present laws.
Go said he incorporated changes in the document so the charter would be applicable to current and future generations, citing a provision in HB 8882 for a mandatory indigenous peoples’ representative in the council. The Local Government Code , Go said, does not require the Baguio charter to be subjected to a plebiscite.
For instance, the new charter separates the Camp John Hay reservation from the Baguio townsite reservation, which could impact on 19 conditions set by the city when it endorsed the lease of the former American rest and recreation center in 1994, Bagbagen said.Among these conditions were the segregation of 14 Camp John Hay barangays and the recognition of Ibaloy land rights there, which Go should have included in HB 8882, he said.
