Distinctions between

an Ordinance and a Resolution

An ordinanceis a law. It is permanent in nature,which means, it continues to be effective unlessamended, repealed, or modified by subsequentordinance or law. In the enactment of ordinance,

the sanggunian has to observe the three-reading-on-separate days rule.

On the other hand, a resolutionis not a law. It ismerely an expression of sentiment, an opinion, a

will, or position on a certain matter. It istemporary in nature in which, once its purpose isachieve, its effectivity ceases. In the passage ofa resolution, the sanggunian need not observethe three-reading-on-separate-day rule. (Beluso vs. Mun. of Panay,Capiz, GR No. 153974, 7-August 2006)
