WHEREAS, the Sangguiang Bayan of Guinobatan on 02 July 2013 was in receipt of the
above-entitled proposed legislative measure, with amendments provided, from the Office of the
LCE, coupled with a Certificate of Urgency, which in response thereto, finding the same to be in

not to disrupt the financial transactions and/or operation of the LGU especially with its depository
banks, a Special Session has been called by the members of the Sangguniang Bayan in
accordance with law and the rules of procedures, today, 04 July 2013 at 10:00 oclock in the
morning, solely for the purpose of acting on the said proposed measure;
WHEREAS, said authorization however, is confined only with the transactions under the
province/domain of the executive department and does not cover those under the appropriations

Circular No. 92-382, and Municipal Resolution No. 01-2013;
WHEREAS, this authorization likewise is to be understood that it is granted together with
Municipal Treasurer as an official signatory in all the financial transactions of the LGU especially in
