Muntinlupa City Government approves foster care ordinance for children who were abused, neglected, surrendered or abandoned

May 1, 2025April 25, 2025carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, Mayor Ruffy Biazon signed into law a foster care ordinance to help children who were abused, neglected, abandoned and surrendered, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Abused, neglected, abandoned and surrendered children will be given alternative child care under a foster care ordinance of the Muntinlupa City government.

Ordinance No. 2025-333, or the Muntinlupa City Foster Care Ordinance, was signed by Mayor Ruffy Biazon on April 15 after it was enacted by the Muntinlupa City Council.

“Children, especially those who are abused, neglected, abandoned and surrendered, must be provided with alternative child care to afford them the love, care and utmost protection from all forms of social opportunism and violence against children, thus the need to enact this Ordinance,” the ordinance stated.

The Muntinlupa City government “recognizes that a child will benefit more from foster care than institutional care. As such, it shall strengthen, develop and expand its foster care program and ensure that its alternative child care program shall provide a wholesome atmosphere to the foster child as a step towards the child’s return and reintegration to his biological parents or placement with an adoptive family.”

Foster care is defined in the ordinance as the “provision of planned temporary substitute parental care to a child by a foster parent.”

The ordinance established the “Aruga at Kupkop ng Pamilya para sa mga Bata sa Muntinlupa Program.”

Under the ordinance, the city government will submit to the chairperson of the Local Council for the Protection Of Children (I-CPC) a list of 20 prospective foster parents “who are willing and able to provide foster family care to abused, abandoned, neglected and surrendered children.”

They will be recommended for Foster Family Care License with the Regional Alternative Child Care Office-National Capital Region based on the Home Study Report prepared by the social workers of the Social Services Department (SSD).

The local law mandates the city government to “exhaust the possibility of placing the child in kinship care before considering placing the child to non-blood related family.”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, do you approve of the foster care ordinance? Do you think the City Government can sustain the local foster care program in the long run?

Manipulated video denounced by Muntinlupa Mayor Biazon

April 24, 2025April 22, 2025carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, Mayor Ruffy Biazon denounced the spread of a digitally altered video that falsely portrayed him supporting a different candidate for the city’s congressional seat, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. The mayor has warned the public not to be fooled by the manipulated video. The local elections are only a few weeks away from happening.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon denounced the spread of a manipulated video that falsely showed him endorsing another candidate for congressman.

“Babala sa publiko! Huwag malinlang! Ang altered video na ito ay pawang kasinungalingan! (Warning to the public! Do not be deceived! This altered video is a lie!),” Biazon posted on Facebook.

Biazon’s original video showed him endorsing Allen Fresnedi Ampaya, current barangay chairman of Poblacion, as his candidate for vice mayor in the May 12 national and local elections.

The video was altered to show Biazon endorsing a candidate for congressman in the lone district of Muntinlupa. Biazon is endorsing reelectionist and partymate Rep. Jaime Fresnedi as congressman.

“May nagkakalat ng false, misleading, digitally altered material na naglalagay sa aking pagkatao sa hindi magandang paningin ng tao, gamit ang video material na walang pahintulot, sa panahon na pinagbabawal ang political campaign for or against any candidate (Someone is spreading false, misleading, digitally altered material that puts my character in a bad light, using video material without permission, during a time when political campaigning for or against any candidate is prohibited),” he said, adding that the video was posted on Good Friday, which was declared by the Commission on Elections as a day where campaigning was prohibited.

Biazon said they are studying the filing of a case for violation of Republic Act 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012), Batas Pambansa Blg. 881 (Omnibus Election Code) and Comelec Resolution No. 11064 (guidelines on the use of social media, artificial intelligence and internet technology for digital election campaign).

“Ito ay may kinalaman sa unauthorized copying, alteration of content and message at pag post ng manipulated video material para palabasin na may sinasabi akong hindi ko sinabi kapalit ng mensahe na taliwas sa aking pinaniniwalaan, na ang layunin ay malinlang ang mga taong makakapanood nito (This involves unauthorized copying, alteration of content and message and posting of manipulated video material to make it appear that I am saying something that I did not say in exchange for a message that is contrary to what I believe, with the aim of deceiving the people who will watch it),” the mayor said.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, were you able to see the manipulated video about the mayor? If you did, does the video look fake or real? Do you think the person responsible for the manipulated video will be caught and be held accountable soon?

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, the City Government enacted an ordinance which effectively institutionalized the Government Internship Program (GIP), according to a Manila Bulletin news report. Mayor Ruffy Biazon signed the ordinance into law on April 10.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government has enacted an ordinance institutionalizing and localizing the Government Internship Program (GIP), which offers up to six months of paid public service internships to high school graduates.

Ordinance No. 2025-332, or the Muntinlupa City Government Internship Program (MC-GIP), was enacted by the Muntinlupa City government on March 31 and signed by Mayor Ruffy Biazon on April 10.

The ordinance stated that “in recognition of the potentials of young workers in the development of the Muntinlupa City Government, there is a need to institutionalize the Government Internship Program (GIP) that directly supports and contributes to the goal of inclusive growth through employment generation.”

“One of the 7K agendas of our Honorable Mayor Rozzano Rufino B. Biazon is ‘Kaunlaran’ to work towards the further development and progress of Muntinlupa City. Human resource development in government shall be given focus to attain high performance standards in public service,” it added.

Public service, under the ordinance, “refers to the service provided by the government, such as hospitals, schools, or the police, or the work that the government does.”

The duration of the internship agreement will be from three to six months.

Each GIP beneficiary in Muntinlupa will receive “a daily allowance equivalent to the prevailing and applicable daily minimum wage rate in the National Capital Region for the services rendered” and a monthly transportation allowance of P500.”

Each GIP applicant should be a resident and registered voter of Muntinlupa City, between 18 to 30 years old, at least a graduate of high school/senior high school or its equivalent level under the Alternative Learning System or technical-vocational graduate, and has no work experience.

Applicants need to submit their resume, two photocopies of valid ID, two photocopies of updated Muntinlupa Care Card, a 2 x 2 picture, certified true copy of diploma, certified true copy of transcript of records, and certificate of indigency from the barangay.

The Muntinlupa Public Employment Service Office (PESO) will implement the GIP while the Bureau of Local Employment (BLE) will be “responsible for the overall management of the Muntinlupa City Government Internship Program (MC-GIP).”

Use of licensed software mandated in Muntinlupa City

April 15, 2025April 10, 2025carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, Mayor Ruffy Biazon signed into law an ordinance mandating the use of licensed software specifically in government offices and contracted private entities, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government has enacted an ordinance mandating the use of legal and ethical software in its offices and private entities where it has contracts and agreements.

Ordinance No. 2025-328, or the “Legal and Ethical Software Use Ordinance of Muntinlupa,” passed by the Muntinlupa City Council, was signed by Mayor Ruffy Biazon.

The local law cited Republic Act No. 10175, or the Anti Cybercrime Law, which “explicitly recognizes in Section 4 the act of copyright infringement as a punishable offense when committed using electronic or digital means, thereby underscoring the importance of adhering to software licensing agreements in all technological applications.”

The ordinance emphasized that “the unauthorized use of unlicensed software applications poses significant risks, including compromised cybersecurity, exposure to malware, operational inefficiencies, and violations of intellectual property laws, which collectively endanger individuals, businesses, and government institutions, undermining public trust and efficiency in digital operations.”

It added that “the proliferation of unlicensed software deprives software developers, both local and international, of fair compensation for their intellectual property, stifling innovation, discouraging investment in technological advancement, and weakening the overall digital economy by promoting unethical business practices.”

The ordinance covers all departments, offices, agencies, and personnel of the Muntinlupa City government; all hardware and electronic devices, whether owned, leased, or under the custody of the city government, that use software applications for official functions; and private entities engaged in contracts, projects, or partnerships with the city government, insofar as their transactions involve the use of software.

A licensed software is defined in the ordinance as “any software application that is legally acquired and used in accordance with its licensing agreement, including commercial, freeware, and open-source software.”

The city government will “strictly enforce the use of legally acquired and licensed software in all its offices, transactions, and operations.”

“This mandate aims to safeguard government systems from cybersecurity threats, enhance operational efficiency, and uphold transparency in technology use,” it added.

The ordinance states that “all software applications used by the City Government of Muntinlupa, including operating systems, office productivity suites, specialized applications, cybersecurity tools, and other digital solutions, shall be duly licensed or legally acquired in accordance with applicable copyright laws and licensing agreements. City departments and offices shall ensure that all software installed on government-owned devices and systems has a valid license and complies with legal agreements.”

It mandates that “the acquisition, installation, or use of unlicensed, counterfeit, or pirated software within the City Government of Muntinlupa is strictly prohibited.”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, do you think the mandated use of licensed software by the government and contracted private entities make a lot of sense?

April 11, 2025April 8, 2025carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, Mayor Ruffy Biazon formally signed into law an ordinance that restricts the playing of audio materials in residential areas and other quiet zones within city jurisdiction, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Amid the election campaign, the Muntinlupa City government has passed an ordinance restricting the playing of audio materials through loudspeakers in residential areas and other quiet zones in the city.

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon signed Ordinance No. 2025-330 (Quiet Zones Ordinance) passed by the Muntinlupa City Council which regulates “the use or playing of marketing or information campaign audio materials through loudspeakers, mixers, amplifiers, microphones, and other similar sound-producing systems and audio devices mounted on any roving manual, motor, or electric vehicle within designated quiet zones in the City of Muntinlupa, prescribing allowable hours for use, imposing penalties for violations, and for other purposes.“

One of the bases for the ordinance is a memorandum from the Department of the Interior and Local Government issued in January, with the subject “Highly Encouraging Local Government Units (LGUS) to Address Public Nuisance and Noise Pollution.”

“The City Government of Muntinlupa recognizes the need to regulate excessive, unnecessary, or unusually loud sound from mobile sound systems and audio devices that exceed acceptable levels and extend beyond the allowable time period, particularly within residential areas and designated quiet zones,” according to the ordinance.

It added that “there has been a clamor from the public against excessive, unnecessary, or unusually loud sound from mobile sound systems and audio devices that exceed acceptable levels, contribute to noise pollution and disrupt the peace in communities.”

The ordinance covers “all individuals, groups, and organizations within Muntinlupa City who use or play marketing or information campaign audio materials through loudspeakers, amplifiers, microphones, or similar audio devices mounted on roving manual, motor, or electric vehicles (EV).”

“Violators include, but are not limited to, vehicle operators, information campaign promoters, and initiators. If marketing or information campaign audio materials are played through sponsorship, the sponsor, benefactor, donor, vehicle operator, and driver shall also be liable for the penalties herein,” according to the local law.

Under the ordinance, the quiet zones in Muntinlupa are residential areas, places of worship, schools, hospitals and health centers, secondary roads, and inner roads.

The playing of marketing or information campaign audio materials with roving or mobile vehicles in residential areas is allowed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Friday to Saturday.

The use of campaign audio materials is prohibited within 100 meters of places of worship, schools, hospitals and health centers at all times.

In Muntinlupa’s secondary and inner roads, the playing of the marketing or information campaign materials is allowed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Friday to Saturday.
