“Mandatory
Representation should not be denied because it is not contradictory to the
Local Government Code of 1991 known as Republic Act 7160 as perceived by other
councilor because the Indigenous People Rights Act clearly said in the
repealing clause that any law contradicts to it is hereby repealed”, Councilor
Salibay explained.
In
September 15, 2014, Region 10 Director of the NCIP dully affirmed and certified
the election of Datu Diamla as IP Mandatory Representative.
In
the same date, the said Regional Director signed a letter addressed to Mayor
Celso Regencia and Vice Mayor Ruderick Marzo informing them that Datu Diamla is
qualified to assume the said position.
Since
then, this has not yet been set as one of the agenda in the course of the
regular session of the Sanguniang Panglungsod here.
