2012 Vol. 1 No. 3
COMMITTED TO DELIVER Congressman Jerry P. Treñas delivers his commitment to his constituents, leading the efforts to stimulate the economic growth of his city. His revolutionary approach of having an investor-friendly city produced impressive economic growth.
D
uring his service as a three-term Mayor of Iloilo, Treñas attracted numerous business process outsourcing companies, investors, and private sector participants to public-private partnership initiatives. Such initiative has provided thousands of employment opportunities to the city’s constituents. The city’s infrastructure, education institutions, health facilities, transportation networks and commercial complexes have blossomed under his watch, thereby addressing the traffic problems and flooding, and likewise providing better health and social services, among others.
Treñas has augmented the delivery of key services to the public by providing scholarships to underprivileged youth in the metropolis, specialty and livelihood training programs to aspiring entrepreneurs, and offering medical assistance to his constituents suffering from illnesses. By envisioning a city with excellent road networks and infrastructure, this city’s solon secured numerous infrastructure projects. His efforts led to numerous roads paved and repaired, school buildings built, drainage systems developed, and multi-purpose buildings constructed. Moreover, the neophyte solon has
already introduced 137 House Measures (57 as principal author, 80 as coauthor) in just on his first two years as the Representative of the Lone Congressional District of Iloilo City. Cong. Treñas does not merely share his vision. He makes sure that the people of his beloved Iloilo City experience ‘Uswag Iloilo.’ Statesmanship goes beyond rhetoric. It demands action and concrete results. Cong. Treñas is a true Ilonggo statesman, and his commitment to serve the people of Iloilo City shall never falter, always advancing and protecting the interests of his constituents in Iloilo City as their Representative in Congress.

House committee approves term extension of barangay, SK official The Committee on Local Government of the House of Representatives approved the bill of Congressman Treñas extending the term of barangay and SangguniangKabataan officials to five years. Presently, barangay officials serve for three years, with a three term limit. The bill of Treñas was consolidated with other similar legislative measures and was approved without objection by the House Committee on Local Government. The Committee also agreed to reset the 2013 Barangay Elections to the last Monday of October 2015, with the term of the elected officials commencing on December 1, 2015. The three-term limit of barangay
officials will be retained. However, a recall provision shall be inserted, which will allow an erring barangay official to be recalled from office during the third and fourth year of his or her term. No recall can be made during the first two years after a barangay election and for one year before the next election. Rep. Treñas believes that by extending the term of barangay officials to five years, the concerned officials will be able to continue their programs for their respective barangays and constituents without the hindrance of frequent and costly reelections, which occurs every three years.
House Approves Airline Tax Rationalization Bill The House of Representatives approved on third and final reading House Bill No. 6022 which rationalizes the taxes on international air carriers operating in the Philippines. Congressman Treñas spearheaded the move to amend the National Internal Revenue Code in order to rationalize the taxes imposed upon international air carriers operating in the Philippines. Congressman Treñas’ initiative to rationalize airline taxes in Congress was strongly supported by the foreign airline industry, which employs numerous Filipinos and which serves countless of Filipino travelers and OFWs. Malacanang Palace also backed the Treñas initiative, consider-
ing it as one of the priority measures of the Administration. Airlines are required to pay a tax of 2 and ½ % of its Gross Philippine Billings (GPB), and a Common Carriers Tax (CCT) of 3% of quarterly gross receipts. The approved bill eliminates the 3% CCT, while providing a reciprocity provision on GPB, allowing foreign airlines to be exempt from the 2 and ½ % tax for as long as its home state grants a reciprocal exemption to Philippine air carriers. The bill also classifies the transport of passengers and cargo by domestic and international air or sea carriers from the Philippines to a foreign country as VAT zero-rated transactions.
Treñas files Iloilo City tourism bill Taking the lead to promote and develop tourism in Iloilo City, Congressman Treñas filed House Bill 5495, which declares the Jaro Cathedral, Molo Church, Iloilo City Central Business District, Fort San Pedro, Jaro Plaza Complex, Molo Plaza Complex and the Plaza Libertad Complex as official heritage and tourist destinations of the country. Treñas and the Iloilo City Cultural Heritage Conservation Council believe that these tourist sites are national treasures which should be preserved and promoted in order to boost tourism in Iloilo City. The Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Tourism and Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) prepared a site assessment report in support of the passage of the Treñas tourism bill. The DOT-TIEZA report recommended for the inclusion of the sites identified in the tourism bill in the tour packages for local and foreign tourists of the DOT. The report also recommended for funding approval of the improvement of the infrastructure facilities of the Iloilo City tourist sites. Treñas considers the development of tourism as one of his key platforms for the Lone District of Iloilo City. He also supports key tourism events in Iloilo, such as the DinagyangFestival and the Paraw Regatta Festival. Treñas believes that attracting local and foreign tourists will enhance the vitality of the city’s economy. The bill is due to be approved by the House of Representatives on second reading.

Treñas Spearheads Efforts to Prepare Iloilo City Drainage Master Plan Congressman Treñas secured funding from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to commission a study for the preparation of a drainage master plan for Iloilo City. The DPWH already bidded the P20 Million worth of Iloilo City drainage mas-
ter plan, which is being implemented. The Iloilo City Representative said that “a major cause of flooding throughout the country is the lack of proper and well-planned drainage systems that could handle the strong downpour of rains caused by typhoons and serious weather
disturbances.” The formulation of a drainage master plan will allow the DPWH to efficiently improve the drainage system of the city, as it will identify the necessary measures needed to prevent above-surface water from accumulating.

16 Road Conversion Bills Approved by Senate Committee Sixteen bills authored by Congressman Treñas converting city roads into national roads were approved by the Senate Committee on Public Works. Upon motion by Senator Gregorio Honasan, the Senate Public Works Committee, chaired by Senator Ramon Bong Revilla, Jr., approved the road conversion bills of the Iloilo City Solon. The last city road in Iloilo City to
be converted into a national road is the Benigno Aquino Avenue, which was converted into a national road in the 80s. During the Senate hearing, Treñas explained that the conversion of the 16 city roads covered by his bills into national roads will be of great benefit to the City of Iloilo, as these roads will now be maintained by the national government through the Department
of Public Works and Highways. Local governments shoulder the maintenance cost of provincial, city, municipal and barangay roads. Iloilo City’s existing national roads only total 68.58 kilometers. The road conversion bills of Treñas approved by the Senate Committee will increase the total length of Iloilo City national roads by 30.567 kilometers.

Treñas represents the PHL in WTO, Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats Conventions
TFCTN-WTO Parliamentarian Workshop on International Trade. 15-17 May 2012. Marina Mandarin Hotel, Singapore.
Iloilo City Representative Congressman Jerry Treñas was selected once again to represent the Philippine Congress in this year’s Temasek Foundation Centre for Trade and Negotiations (TFCTN) World Trade Organization (WTO) conference on regional parliamentarians on international trade on May 1517, 2012. Congressman Treñas was also hand-picked by House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte to represent the Philippines in last year’s TFCTN-WTO conference. The TFCTN-WTO program was designed to increase the capacity of Asian legislators to engage in international trade issues, and to have a deeper understanding of the WTO.
Congressman Treñas was also chosen to represent the Philippines in the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE) – Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats (CALD) summit on trade on June 4-8, 2012 in Brussels, Belgium. The ALDECALD meeting examined the trade relations between Europe and Asia. It also allowed the participants to strengthen the ties among liberals and democrats from various Asian and European countries. The Iloilo City Solon is the Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Trade and Industry of the House of Representatives.
Treñas Leads Solons’ Call for Construction of Panay-GuimarasBacolod Trans-link Bridges Jerry Treñas leads 19 Congressmen from Western Visayas and Bacolod in pushing for the construction of bridges that will connect the Islands of Panay, Guimaras and Negros Occidental. Congressman Treñas and his fellow Representatives from Bacolod and Western Visayas filed House Resolution No. 2018 which strongly urges the national government to prioritize the construction of the trans-link bridges under the government’s Public-Private Partnership Program. The construction of the trans-link bridges will open new economic opportunities, reduce transportation and business transaction costs, increase access to social services, and boost tourism in the entire Western Visayas Region.

First Lady Mrs. Rosalie S. Treñas receives her award as one of the Ten Outstanding Women in Iloilo City from Partylist Rep. Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel and husband Iloilo City Lone District Rep. Jerry P. Treñas. Looking on are Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog, and Vice Mayor Jose “Joe III” Espinosa III.
I
f public service is a calling, then Rosalie Sarabia Treñas is one of those who have heeded the beckoning of a life different from what she is used to.
A guiding light to a privileged family, wife to one of the most powerful men in Iloilo City, Cong. Jerry P. Treñas, and an established businesswoman this side of the country, Mrs. Treñas always has the heart for the less fortunate with special focus on children. Her dedication in community service programs and various initiatives of civic organizations has bestowed her as one of the Ten Outstanding Women of Iloilo City or 2012 in the Non-Government Organization sector. Her desire for social welfare con-
cerns and causes involving women and young people led her and some other cause-oriented and civic-minded private individuals to establish a project that will cater exactly to children in conflict with the law (CICL). Thus, the non-government organization lloilo Juvenile Welfare Association, now known as the lloilo Juvenile Welfare Foundation (IJWF), Inc., was founded in July 2003. The IJWF Board of Trustees are Mrs. Treñas (chairperson), Engr. Adrian N. Moncada (president), Norma M. Jimenea (vice-president), Atty. Rodolfo B. Pollentes (secretary), Dr. Nemia H. Mabaquiao (asst. secretary), Ma. Paz B. Zaldarriaga (treasurer), Frances Jane Jarantilla (asst. treasurer), Flor G. Certe-
za (PRO), Gaudencio S. Franco Jr. and Sonny T. Espino (members) and Rosana Alfaras (executive director). Its flagship project is the “Dalayunan,” a home for boys which is the only halfway home or temporary shelter in Iloilo City for minors apprehended by law enforcers. “We at the IJWF stand on the premise that the way society treats the children is a telling testimony to our humanity and liberty, that’s why we chose to care and to act. We decided that children must come first,” she declared. Being chairperson of the IJWF, Mrs. Treñas sees to it that their “battle cry”- children first – will be realized through various programs, projects and activities.

“Children First” IJWF chair takes public service to heart
“Once the children are reintegrated to their families and communities we see to it that they are given ‘after-care’ services by monitoring and visiting them for a period of up to one year to ensure the continuity of the reformation process.” With “Dalayunan” in the forefront, CICL cases receive care and protection necessary to fulfill their moral, spiritual, psychological and physiological needs. “Dalayunan” thus became an alternative home to over 2,000 CICL already since its establishment in a facility provided by the Department of Social Welfare and Development in Bo. Obrero, La Paz, Iloilo City. Early last year, the management of IJWF’s “Dalayunan” project was turnedover to the lloilo City Government on March 19, 2011. IJWF continued its operation focusing more on community-based program framework by means of preventive approach in the community level for the CICL and children at risk of offending. Mrs. Treñas never faltered in her dedication and commitment to the IJWF with the support of the Vlaams International Centrum of Belgium and Save the Children. She initiated scholarships; capability building, livelihood and skills trainings; life skills training; group dynamic sessions; parent’s effectiveness seminars; case management; and alternative learning system review classes for children.
Moreover, the conduct of trainings for capability building and strengthening of the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC), enable the BCPC functional. Foremost of the programs she instituted for IJWF was the literacy program for “Dalayunan” started in 2008. Dubbed as “Edukasyon sa Barangay,” the literacy program provides educational intervention to 40 beneficiaries per barangay who were IJWF reintegrated clients and the out-of-school-youth at the community level. The program was implemented in Brgy. Baldoza, La Paz, and Brgy. Boulevard and San Juan, Molo in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) through its Alternative Learning System (ALS) program. The literacy program thus becomes an avenue for the youth to reorganize their lives through non-formal schooling and prevents them from doing activities that may lead to wrongdoings. Not only on reforming children but Mrs. Treñas and the Board also promoted parenting effectiveness service, family case conferences and home visits to over 1,000 parents/guardians and folks.
“We do not stop there, however,” Mrs. Treñas said, “once the children are reintegrated to their families and communities we see to it that they are given ‘after-care’ services by monitoring and visiting them for a period of up to one year to ensure the continuity of the reformation process.” For its valuable contribution to the improvement of peace and order situation in Iloilo City, IJWF was recognized by the National Police Commission, National Headquarters of the Philippine National Police. “We are truly proud that we have done our part to make the city peaceful,” Mrs. Treñas said. Recently, the Board is working of changing the name from IJWF to Iloilo Children Welfare Foundation to make it healthy and more child-friendly in their approach to the community. Mrs. Treñas also chairs the Task Force on Street Children where she instituted the annual awarding of Bulawanon nga Nanay and Huwaran nga Anak during Mother’s Day and Children’s Month, respectively; and a board adviser of the Bantay Bata 163-Iloilo.

Taguig City 2nd District Representative Sigfrido Tinga, Chairman of the Committee on ICT, is also part of the Philippine delegation.

The bi-cameral conference committee report for the Data
Privacy Act was recently ratified by the House and the Senate and was already transmitted to Malacañang Palace for the President’s approval.
