Description

"The City shall provide municipal buildings, cultural centers, public parks including freedom parks, playgrounds, and other sports facilities and equipment, and other similar facilities." (Republic Act No. 7160, Local Government Code of 1991, § 17(b)(2)(vii)). "The Sangguniang Panlungsod shall provide for the establishment, maintenance, protection, and conservation of communal forests and watersheds, tree parks, greenbelts, mangroves, and other similar forest development projects." (Republic Act No. 7160, Local Government Code of 1991, § 458(a)(5)(i)). is In 2018, the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Santa Rosa, through Resolution No. 0037, adopted the final report of the Conceptual Master Plan in reference to the establishment of a People's Park in the city. In conformity with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), it expresses that "Barangay Aplaya included in the Shoreland Overlay Zone - Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Zone (SAFDZ), which, under Republic Act No. 8435, refers to the "areas identified for production, agro-processing, and marketing activities help develop and modernize, with the support of government, the agriculture and fisheries sectors in an environmentally sound manner. to In pursuance of LLDA Memorandum Circular 2020-06, it stated therein that "Proposed developments initiated by any local governments for public use are exempted from the suspension of issuance of shoreland development clearance." Barangay Aplaya in the City of Santa Rosa is strategically located along the coast of Laguna Lake and has great potential for improvement. To develop the property in Barangay Aplaya as a people's park would stir important economic activities around the area. The establishment of the People's Park is embedded with the following objectives for its efficient and effective management: sustainable and responsible tourism, inclusive growth, and multiple-destination marketing. With Santa Rosa consisting of several parks, all of which are privately owned, it is a compelling and sufficient reason to authorize the establishment of the People's Park. This bill seeks to create and establish a People's Park in the City of Santa Rosa to provide economic and commercial opportunities, which will thereafter generate income and job opportunities to the benefit and welfare of every Rosenian as a promise of diverse but inclusive progress. In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this proposed measure is earnestly sought.
