Vice mayor, 3 councilors stop questionable fee

ANGELES CITY — Acting Vice Mayor Jericho Aguas and three of his allies worked for the suspension of a questionable homeowners’ fee at a subdivision in Barangay Anunas here.
Aguas, at the recent City Council’s session, said Councilor Alex Indiongco sponsored a resolution on July 12 asking for the suspension of the P350 fee per resident of Villasol Subdivision.
“We want to foster peace amid the tension at Villasol. But we will also work for fair and amicable end to this controversy,” said Aguas, whose group with Councilors Maricel Morales, Edu Pamintuan and Indiongco was dubbed “PAMI-tastic 4.”
He added that the City Council approved Indiongco’s resolution last Tuesday.
In a letter to Anunas barangay chairman Edgardo Agapito, the residents said they had been forced to pay the fee even if they could not afford to pay it. The fee included the service of security guards.
Worse, they added, village watchmen stopped them from asking others to get their garbage. They were asked to pay a lower fee — P100 per household — that they can afford.
Morales said “things should be clear first before [they] make the next move for the benefit of the majority.”
“I am sure the Anunas village officials are sensible and they just need to understand well the issue,” said Morales.

Aguas said they will begin the probe in aid of legislation to “make both ends meet.” He is the chairman of the committee on landed estate and assessment, which has jurisdiction over issue.
Pamintuan, for his part, said his group had advocated for “a working government.” He added that “as much as possible, PAMI-tastic 4” wants to remove the burden of the problem experienced by the mayor, Edgardo Pamintuan.
Councilor Pamintuan is eldest son of the first-term mayor.
“We are an extension of the working mayor. We want to help solve problem of the city and residents if allowed by the situation and law,” added Pamintuan.
His group was named after a The Fantastic Four superhero team appearing in Marvel comics published in the USA. The first four letters — PAMI — is derived from the first letter of Pamintuan, Aguas, Morales and Indiongco.
