From the
Olongapo website:
The City Council of Olongapo recently passed an ordinance adopting the title “City of Volunteers” for Olongapo City. All through out the country as well as the world, Olongapo City has been known to have strong values in volunteerism.
After a thorough deliberation, the City Council finally approved the ordinance sponsored by Councilor Gina Perez entitled “An Ordinance Adopting the Title of Olongapo City as “City of Volunteers” (Ordinance No. 31 series of 2009).
The Ordinance states that Olongapo City has to establish an identification which will reflect its entirety in terms of people, places and culture. With tourism becoming the prime source of income all throughout the country, the city has to initiate deep measures of promotion and recall to target tourists.
According to the ordinance, “The act of Volunteerism has been shown in 1991 when the Unites States Naval Forces pulled out from its geographical location adjacent to the locality, which unfortunately resulted to loss of employment and economic regression.”
