            WHEREAS, Section 13(c) of Republic Act No. 7227 generally provides for the composition of the Board of Directors of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority and (c) (l) explicitly provides that representatives of the local government units that concur to join the Subic Bay Special Economic Zone should likewise be duly represented;

            WHEREAS, the same law specifically states that preference in the appointment of the members of the Board shall be given to residents within the Subic Bay Special Economic Zone and that it is the City mayor, concurred by the members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod who is vested with the authority to nominate the Olongapo City Representative.

            WHEREAS, it is to be clearly construed that the authors of the said law, envisioned and intended that the residents of Olongapo City, the employees of the former Naval Bases who were displaced by the pull-out of the U.S. Military Installation in Olongapo and the members of the business community in the City, who were severely affected by the said exit should be given the right to determine their future through representation in the policy-making body of the SBMA;

            WHEREAS, Ms. Cynthia Co Paulino, who pursued Bachelor of Science Major in Accountancy, was one of the City’s entrepreneurs before she took the reins of R2K Trading Exponents, one of the largest established and most enduring businesses in the City, as the General Manager. She also held various key positions in the past as an auditor of Colorite Color Lab and Copy Rite and General Manager for Yummy Bistro;

            WHEREAS, as somebody who came into sight during the US Naval Base times and had gone through the crucibles of the Bases pull-out, the impact of Mt. Pinatubo eruption,  Ms. Paulino contributed to the upward stride of businesses during the rise of SBMA. She stood out in several challenges that affected the businesses in the City while fuelling the developments between Olongapo-SBMA;

            WHEREAS, Ms. Paulino definitely knows the pulse and heartbeat of the Olongapeños.  She effectively assumed the roles and responsibilities as a supportive wife, a mother of achievers, a doting grandmother and an exceptional business consultant while devoting time as a public servant.

            WHEREAS, her strong representation at the SBMA Board for the past three (3) years led to a vibrant partnership between Olongapo City and the Freeport in various development endeavors. She has been instrumental in attaining the salary standardization and other benefits that SBMA employees enjoy today;

            NOW, THEREFORE, with the majority decision of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present,

            RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled to strongly endorse, as it hereby strongly endorses to the Office of the President of the Republic of the Philippines the appointment of Ms. Cynthia Co Paulino as Director representing the City of Olongapo to the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA).
