Nag turn over ang Bscolod City Govt led by Mayor Greg Gasataya sang 10 ka E-Vehicle Patrol Car sa aton mga kapulisan para magamit sa 10 ka police stations. This is a milestone sa aton gina advocate nga pagduso sang polisya sa pag gamit sang E-Vehicles kag pag promote sang E-Mobility sa aton siudad paagi sa aton gina duso nga ordinansa.

This will also gives the city a big savings tungod sa pwerte ka mahal nga gasolina dulot sang Oil Crisis sa Middle East. Kabay sundon ini sang aton mga LGUs and even mga private sectors.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY ORDINANCE, APRUBADO NA SA FIRST READING; MGA ESTABLISYEMENTO, GINAHINGYO MAGTIPID SANG KURYENTE

Gin-aprubahan sa una nga pagbasa sang Sangguniang Panlungsod sang Bacolod ang isa ka landmark nga ordinance nga nagatuyo magpatuman sang mas episyente kag sustainable nga paggamit sang enerhiya sa mga establisyemento sa ciudad.

Ang proposed measure nga “Bacolod City Energy Efficiency Code for Buildings” ang gin-propose ni Councilor Atty. Caesar Distrito, nga nagatuyo magbutang sang minimum energy performance standards agud mapahagan-hagan ang konsumo sang kuryente, mapanubo ang gasto sang mga konsumidor kag negosyo, subong man pag-promote sang climate-responsive design.

Suno kay Distrito, ang ini nga ordinansa ang sabat sa National policy kag urgent local needs ilabi na sa problema sang mga Bacolodnon sa pagtaas sang presyo sang kuryente.

Lakip sa mga provision sang ini nga proposed ordinance amo ang paggamit sang energy-efficient nga suga pareho sang LED systems, pag-adopt sang natural ventilation kag shading para sa passive cooling, paggamit sang inverter ukon high-efficiency air conditioning units, kag pagbutang sang solar-ready nga mga feature sa tanan nga new establishments.

Subong man ang pagpatuman sang mandatory energy reduction kag solar installations para sa mga government buildings.

Ang ini nga measure ang tuyo man maghatag sang incentives para sa mga compliant establishments kaangay sang real property tax discounts, mas madasig nga pagproseso sang permits kag pagkilala pinaagi sa “Bacolod Green Building Seal of Compliance.”

Agud masiguro ang ka-epektibo sang implementasyon, ang ini nga ordinansa ang nagatugot man sang pagtukod sang Bacolod Energy Efficiency Board nga magabantay sa pagsunod sang mga establisyemento, magahimo sang implementing rules, kag magakoordinar sa national agencies.

BACOLOD SP APPROVES ON FIRST READING THE LANDMARK ENERGY EFFICIENCY ORDINANCE

A major step toward sustainable and cost-efficient urban development was taken today as the Sangguniang Panlungsod approved on first reading an ordinance authored by Councilor Atty. Caesar Z. Distrito establishing the Bacolod City Energy Efficiency Code for Buildings.

The proposed measure sets minimum energy performance standards for buildings across the city, aiming to reduce electricity consumption, lower costs for consumers and businesses, and promote climate-responsive design.

Councilor Distrito emphasized that the ordinance responds to both national policy and urgent local needs.

“This measure is about protecting our people from rising electricity costs while ensuring that Bacolod moves forward as a resilient and sustainable city. Energy efficiency is no longer optional, it is necessary.” Atty. Distrito said.

The ordinance aligns with Republic Act No. 11285 or the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, and supports the national call for energy conservation following the declaration of a national energy emergency by Ferdinand Marcos Jr..

Among the key features of the proposed ordinance are:
* Mandatory use of energy-efficient lighting such as LED systems
* Adoption of passive cooling design, including natural ventilation and shading
* Requirement for inverter-type or high-efficiency air conditioning systems
* Solar-ready provisions for all new buildings
* Regular energy audits for large establishments
* Mandatory energy reduction targets and solar installation for government buildings

The measure also proposes incentives for compliant establishments, including real property tax discounts, faster permit processing, and recognition through a “Bacolod Green Building Seal of Compliance.”

To ensure effective implementation, the ordinance creates a Bacolod Energy Efficiency Board that will oversee compliance, issue implementing rules, and coordinate with national agencies and stakeholders.

Distrito noted that buildings account for a significant share of electricity consumption, making efficiency improvements a practical and immediate solution to energy challenges.

“This is a forward-looking policy. It encourages smarter building practices, reduces strain on our power supply, and contributes to lowering greenhouse gas emissions,” he added.

Paunti nang paunti ang tubig natin sa Bacolod. Bahay at komunidad, paaralan, opisina, negosyo, kabuhayan, kalusugan, pagkain—ang lahat ng ito at higit pa ay maaapektuhan ng kawalan ng tubig.

As early as now, PrimeWater and the Bacolod City Water District must pull out all the stops to ensure that our water depletion will not reach crisis levels. Whatever contingencies and strategies that must be employed should be employed now. Responsibilidad ninyo na siguruhing hindi mawawalan ng tubig ang mga Bacolodnon na nagbabayad sa inyong serbisyo.

Nananawagan rin ako sa aking kapwa Bacolodnon na maging mas masinop pa tayo sa paggamit ng tubig upang hindi ito masayang.

My office will engage with all relevant stakeholders so that we can be on top of the situation. Ang problema, dapat sa umpisa pa lamang ay inaaksyunan na.

Bacolod Council Urges Swift Probe into Killing of Jonel Besaña, Calls for Action on Unsolved Cases

The Sangguniang Panlungsod of Bacolod City has approved a resolution authored by Councilor Caesar Z. Distrito and Councilor Pao Sy urging the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO), under the leadership of PCOL Eugene Rebadomia, to conduct a thorough and expeditious investigation into the killing of Jonel Besaña and to intensify efforts in resolving other unsolved killing incidents in the city.

The resolution was passed in response to growing public concern over recent violent crimes, particularly shooting incidents involving assailants riding motorcycles, which have heightened fear and anxiety among residents.

Jonel Besaña, a resident of Purok Talaba, Barangay Singcang-Airport, was shot and killed by an unidentified assailant while he was about to fetch his wife from her workplace at SM City Bacolod. The incident, which occurred in a public area near Police Station 1, has raised serious concerns over public safety and the boldness of criminal elements.

Councilor Distrito stressed the urgency of swift and decisive action from law enforcement authorities.

“The loss of life under these circumstances is deeply troubling. Our people deserve to feel safe in their own communities, and incidents like this shake that sense of security,” he said.

“Unsolved killings not only deny justice to victims and their families, they also erode public trust in our institutions and embolden those who seek to commit further crimes. We must act with urgency, transparency, and resolve,” Councilor Pao Sy added.

The City Council underscored that the victim was known to have no known enemies, making the incident even more alarming and highlighting the need for a comprehensive investigation to determine the motive and identify those responsible.

The resolution calls on the BCPO to immediately identify, locate, and apprehend the perpetrator or perpetrators, as well as to strengthen intelligence operations, conduct case reviews of unsolved killings, and enhance coordination with relevant agencies.

It also urges the police to increase visibility and security measures in public places, particularly in areas near police stations, to deter criminal activity and reassure the public.
