The 44TH Regular Session of the 15th Sangguniang Panlungsod was presided over by Vice Mayor and Presiding Officer Hon. Gabriel H. Bordado Jr. City Councilors present were Hon. Elmer S. Baldemoro, Hon. Jessie R. Albeus, Hon. Ghiel G. Rosales, Hon. Gilda Gayle R. Abonal-Gomez, Hon. Melvin Ramon G. Buenafe, Hon. Wilfredo Jude A. Diokno, Hon. Francisco M. Mendoza, Hon. Allan Reiz C.

During the privilege hour, Councilor Baldemoro took to the podium to denounce the decade-long delay in the Naga Airport Redevelopment Project. He lamented the lost opportunities brought about by the rerouting of the Naga–Manila flight to Clark, Pampanga, noting that both the Clark option and the Bicol International Airport alternative add several hours to travel time, compounding costs and inconvenience for passengers. Stressing the need for decisive action, Councilor Baldemoro urged his colleagues to support his proposed resolution calling on the Office of the President, the Department of Transportation, and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines to closely monitor, expedite, and ensure the immediate and full implementation of Phase I of the Naga Airport Redevelopment Project, and to prevent any further unnecessary delays.
The Committee Reports were presented by their respective Committee Chairs or Co-Chairs: Councilor Jessie R. Albeus for the joint committee hearing of Land Use and Environment and Energy; Councilor Francisco M. Mendoza for Ways and Means; Councilor Allan Reiz C. Macaraig for Information Technology; Councilor Ghiel G. Rosales for Blue Ribbon and Administrative Cases; and Councilor Melvin Ramon G. Buenafe for Transport. The report of the Committee on Education was deferred due to the absence of the Committee Chair.
