AN ORDINANCE DECLARING AUGUST 18 OF EVERY YEAR AS “JESSE M.

ROBREDO DAY” IN THE CITY OF NAGA IN RECOGNITION OF THE

EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE AND INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS OF
THE LATE HONORABLE JESSE MANALASTAS ROBREDO TO THE CITY OF
NAGA WHICH HE SERVED AS CITY MAYOR FOR 19 YEARS, AND TO THE
COUNTRY AS SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENT (DILG) EXPLANATORY NOTE On August 18, 2012, the Honorable
Jesse Manalastas Robredo, Secretary, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), figured
in a plane crash in the seawaters off Masbate City. The Honorable Jesse M. Robredo served Naga City
well, with great honor and integrity for 19 long and fruitful years. Being the youngest mayor of this city
(at age 29), he made the city proud through the various innovations he introduced especially those for
the improvement of local governance, accountability and transparency, thereby minimizing, if not totally
eradicating corruption in government. During his early years, he bravely stood up to the big traditional
politicians at the time, even to the extent of putting his life on the line, just to rid our city of the
prevalent illegalities, in order to make Naga City a better and more peaceful place to live in. He brought
honor and recognition to this city when, under his vibrant leadership, Naga City was awarded as one of
the most improved cities in the whole of Asia. In partnership with stakeholders and consistent with his
unwavering commitment to social justice, his administration crafted, implemented and institutionalized
pro-poor programs and policies that sought to equalize opportunities for the marginalized sectors of
society, including “Kaantabay sa Kauswagan” for housing, and the Quality Universal Elementary
Education in Naga (QUEEN) and Sanggawadan programs for education. His various national and
international awards topped by the Ramon Magsaysay and Conrad Adenauer Awards brought pride and
honor, not only to himself, but especially to this city which he deeply loved and cared for, even when he
was in his far-off Department of the Interior and Local Government Office. Given his exceptional
accomplishment and invaluable contributions to the City of Naga and to the nation, it is just fitting and
proper to mark August 18 of every year thereafter as “JESSE M. ROBREDO DAY” in the City of Naga, to
give honor and remembrance to the man worthy of honor and emulation of all Nagueños. Be it ordained
by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of the City of Naga, that: SECTION 1. – August 18 of every year is hereby
declared as “JESSE M. ROBREDO DAY” in the City of Naga, in recognition of the exceptional performance
and invaluable contributions of the late Honorable Jesse Manalastas Robredo to the City of Naga which
he served as City Mayor for 19 years, and to the country as Secretary of the Department of the Interior
and Local Government (DILG); SECTION 2. – This ordinance shall take effect upon its approval.

as the Naga City People’s Council and innovations like the pioneering Naga City Citizen’s Charter and i-
Governance programs; His impact and imprint on government service and public administration has
