General Santos city is a highly urbanised first class city located in the southernmost port city of the Philippines.
According to Vice Mayor Shirlyn Banas-Nograles, the website is important not only to the Provincial Council but also to the general public as well. The website features informative data like the directory of offices and employees, barangay profiles, and the schedules of committee hearings. Added features include a web search box and the real-time weather reports.
Nograles also noted that “this website now becomes one of the main legacies of the 16th Provincial Council to the people of General Santos city.”
The Vice Mayor also initiated the GenSan Codification of Ordinances Project wherein over 2,000 ordinances created from 1948 to 2010 are being reviewed and classified for easy reference.
The website, however, according to Banas is still undergoing enhancement especially on pages that will contain the profiles of the City Councilors from 1948 to present.
