Day 190: Resolution Making 101 pt.4

To conclude the topic about Resolution making, or drafting, for your Sanggunian, LGU, or organization, let us do a recap. We like to give credits to Ma’am Mondido for this.

Parts of a Resolution.

We have understood that a Resolution has eight parts.

1. Heading
2. Name of Author
3. Assigned Number
4. Title
5. “Whereas” Clause
6. Main Resolutory Portion
7. Secondary Resolutory Portion, and
8. Concluding Portion

We have discussed these parts on batches: Heading to Title, and “Whereas” Clause to the Concluding Portion.

Purpose.

Heading.

• Its purpose is to indicate the originating local unit or organization.

Name of Author.

• Its purpose is to indicate authorship.

Assigned Number.

• Its purpose is to reflect the numerical series in the order they were discussed and approved.

Title.

• Its purpose is to express in once sentence the substance of the resolution.

“Whereas” Clause.

• Its purpose is to provide the reasons for the adoption of the resolution in logical sequence.

Main Resolutory Portion.

• Its purpose is to reflect what legislative or deliberative body feels or desires.

Secondary Resolutory Portion.

• Its purpose is to show how the resolution should reach the person or entity that would act on the wish of the Sanggunian or organization, including the distribution of copies thereof.

Concluding Portion.

• Its purpose is to embody the date and the place of approval, the verification of the presiding officer, and the attestation of the secretary.

Any more words?

I feel relieved having finished this series. Whew! However, really tidy up your Resolution, do not forget to consider the "Language of a Resolution".

I’ll update you with iLead3 very soon.
