The IRR further mandates the City Mayor in RULE XV Article 85: "(iii) Present the program of government and propose policies and projects for the consideration of the sangguniang panlungsod at the opening of the regular session of the sangguniang panlungsod every calendar year and as often as the general welfare of the inhabitants and the needs to the city may require..."
SOCA
Similar to the President who delivers his State of the Nation Address (SONA), I delivered my State of the City Address (SOCA) every first quarter of the calendar year. It narrated the projects, plans and programs that were achieved and those that were to be undertaken.
The 1st State of the City Address was delivered at the City Gym on January 16, 2008. I spoke before heads of office and barangay captains and other invited guests.
The 2nd State of the City Address was done on January 9, 2009 at Ampil Function Hall. The audience was made up of city heads of office and barangay captains.
The 3rd State of the City Address was on March 23, 2010 at City Gym. In attendance were barangay captains, heads of offices and city employees.
MASAM Addresses
The 4th State of the City Address was on February 1, 2011 at the Sangguniang Panlungsod session hall. We invited only the office heads. It was made simpler because I had just seated on my second term as city mayor for six months.
The 5th State of the City Address was entitled Midterm Address on the State of Affairs of Maasin (MASAM) on February 14, 2012 at the City Gym. This time we invited the city employees and students of Maasin City College to listen to the report in addition to the barangay captains. Since it was Valentine's Day, I used pick-up lines as ad lib to my address to the delight of the crowd especially the students.
The 6th State of the City Address was entitled Mayor's Address to Sanggunian and Maasinhons (MASAM) on March 18, 2013 at the City Gym after the flag ceremony. It was attended by city hall employees, barangay officials, non-government organizations and Maasin City College students.
The 7th State of the City Address was on February 17, 2014 at the City Gym after flag ceremony. It was attended by city employees, MCC faculty and students, barangay officials and non-government organizations. Meeting with barangay captains and press conference followed. Then we had dinner at the SP Session Hall with barangay officials and guests.
The 8th State of the City Address was on March 16, 2015 at the City Gym after the flag ceremony. The SOCA was entitled Health + Sports + Action.
Other reports
In addition to that I delivered my First 100 Days Report on October 8, 2007 during the flag ceremony exactly 100 days after I first assumed into office. It was a Monday, a most appropriate time to report to the employees my accomplishments for the first hundred days in office.
I also delivered my One Year Report also during the flag ceremony on June 30, 2008 exactly one year after I first assumed office. Same as the First 100 Days, my first anniversary in office was a Monday and a very opportune time to render the account of my accomplishments for the first year in service.
The Oath-Taking for our first term was on June 12, 2007. It was the first time I delivered my Acceptance/Inaugural Speech where I launched my favorite 13 Point Agenda. The occasion coincided with the DepEd Maasin City Division 5th Founding Anniversary and 109th Independence Day Celebration. It was attended by the teachers of the city division and employees of the city hall.
The Oath-Taking for our second term was on June 28, 2010. It was a Monday so it was held during the flag ceremony.
The Oath-Taking for our third term was on June 24, 2013. It was also a Monday so it coincided with our flag ceremony.
Maiden sessions
I also addressed the City Council every Maiden Session of the Sangguniang Panlungsod at the start of our term in 2007, 2010 and 2013. I presented our priority projects and programs for the three years of our term.
Being a former vice mayor, I found it a necessity to formally convey to the city council my greetings on the start of our term of office. I professed on them the efforts that we were going to exert in exchange of the fresh mandate given to us by our electorate.
Every Monday during the flag ceremony I give a talk to the city employees after every speaker. My speech would cover accomplishments, activities and memoranda which concern the city hall offices and employees.
When I was not on official business outside Maasin City, the Monday or first working day of the week speeches became a regular activity for me as a mayor or even as a vice mayor when the local chief executive was not around.
The 6th State of the City Address was entitled Mayor's Address to Sanggunian and Maasinhons (MASAM) on March 18, 2013 at the City Gym after the flag ceremony. It was attended by city hall employees, barangay officials, non-government organizations and Maasin City College students.
