(Y- o/o t--
The Ff onorable Vice-h{ayor litiE
And Members of Ciry Council, LiY

I have read the amended version of No. 17 with

the addition'al provision, specifically section 5, No. 2, which
states,

"Tl)e Sanggur*iang Panglungsod mdy grdnt

francbise to op*rdtars of triqtcles far hire upon
tbe recommenc{,,ation of the VC'fiFB,,,

while this amendnrent may be sufficienr ro nullift the

princrple of "delegatws non potest del*garer, ,inrhich was rny
previous reason for vetoing this orcrinance, I feel that thc
amendment needr stronger phraseology to emphasize the
-1
fact that it u,ill still be the Sangquniung panglungsod as a
whole and in forma-l session, that rvi[ grant-frarichises to
would be operators of tricycles for hire.

Perhaps this specific provision rn i]l bc better wordeel in the

following manner,

OFTTICB OF NIAYOTT

In another matter, Section B, No. 4 states to wit:

'An olperator can only be granted one (1)

francbiy to coaer one (I) tricycle unit.,'
This provision may be misinre{preted
in the future that an
operator cafl only be granted a franchise
once. perhaps it wilr
be better worded in dr. foUo*irrg
manner,

'An operator rnast apply

for d separdte
franchise for e{&cb triqtcie-ui;t ,lror he wisbes to
operdte for public transportation,,,

On a final note, I wish to state for

the record that this is not a veto
message, f am merely pomflng
out several provisions of this
Ordinance to the City Council
that ma y be open for future
rnisinteqpretahons by *:e public
which rve all senre. I will be glad to
