CALIMLIM COMMENDED

Through a motion by Councilor Edwin J. Piano, the City Council of Olongapo City unanimously passed Resolution Number 2005-R-05 Commending Ret General Jose Calimlim for his efforts against smuggling in the Subic Bay Freeport.

The council recognizes that it is timely that a gesture of support and appreciation be given to Gen Calimlim specially since during the past week, his person had been unfairly maligned by media personnel whom some residents suspects had been paid by the smuggling syndicate.

Copy of the resolution will be given to President Arroyo and all media outfit in order for the Filipino people to correct the wrong impression given by some unscrupulous reporters.

Resident of the city also signify their intention to volunteer (for the second time) in order to assist Calimlim in his efforts to cleanse Subic of criminal elements.
