During its regular session on Monday, June 19, the Pasig City Council unanimously approved on its final reading the Ordinance No. 107-2023, authored by Councilors Angelu de Leon and Mark Gil delos Santos.The ordinance was created to honor former Senator Jovito Salonga, known as the “Nation’s Fiscalizer” and one of the most renowned public servants who was born and raised in Barangay San Miguel, Pasig City.
“Dinala niya hanggang sa huling hininga ng kanyang buhay na maipakita na kaya po nating maglingkod sa bayan kahit tayo po ay simple lamang. Maaari po tayong makasama sa mga simpleng mamamayan ,” said Delos Santos. He authored significant legislation including the State Scholarship Law, the Disclosure of Interest Act, the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers, and the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees, and the Act Defining and Penalizing the Crime of Plunder.
Salonga was also an advocate of democracy and anti-corruption, having joined the resistance movement against the Japanese occupation forces for which he was imprisoned; as well as an outspoken member of the opposition during the Martial Law period. In 1986, former President Cory Aquino appointed him as chairman of the Presidential Commission on Good Government.Councilor De Leon said it is time to give public recognition and commemorate the life and achievements of the late senator.
