The Municipal Council of Panama grants a temporary exemption from Municipal Agreement No. 32 of 2014 (regulating construction noise) to the company Constructora Codsa Tagua Corp. The exemption applies exclusively to the monolithic concrete pouring of the main foundation (MAT de Shear Wall de Elevadores) for the P.H. Tagua project on Sunday, October 4, 2026, between 5:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. The exemption is based on structural safety requirements, as a continuous pour of 1,400 m³ of high-strength concrete is necessary to avoid cold joints that could weaken the structure during earthquakes.

The Municipality of Remedios modifies the allocation of 20,000.00 balboas from the real estate tax (IBI) funds for the 2022 fiscal year. Originally earmarked for the improvement of the road between Escodú and Santa Lucía, the funds are reallocated to the installation of lighting on the bicycle path in the Corregimiento of Remedios Cabecera. The change was made because the Ministry of Public Works took over the road infrastructure improvement, to avoid duplication of efforts.

The Municipality of Remedios approves a budget reallocation of 46,250.00 balboas. The planned improvement projects for three catholic chapels (Inmaculada Concepción in Escodú, Medalla Milagrosa in El María, and Virgen del Carmen in El Puerto) are cancelled to finance instead two new phases of improvement in Remedios Cabecera: public infrastructure (32,250.00 balboas) and the 'Parque de las Madres' (14,000.00 balboas).

The Aquatic Resources Authority of Panama (Autoridad de los Recursos Acuáticos de Panamá - ARAP) establishes the closure of the 2026 fishing season for herring (Opistho-nema spp.) effective September 30, 2026, for both large-scale and small-scale fishing vessels. This measure is based on technical reports indicating a high presence of mature and egg-bearing females (62% of the sample) and an average catch size below 17 cm, in compliance with the management strategy to ensure sustainable exploitation of the resource. Fishing is prohibited during this period, although limited exceptions for training or technical survey voyages may be granted subject to prior authorization by the authority.

The Supreme Court of Justice (Corte Suprema de Justicia), through its Third Chamber of Administrative Litigation, declares Resolution No. 262-2019 of the Ministry of Housing and Land Use Planning (MINISTERIO DE VIVIENDA Y ORDENAMIENTO TERRITORIAL - MIVIOT) to be illegal. This resolution had approved the rezoning of a property in Puerto Caimito, La Chorrera, from 'Residencial Rural' to 'Residencial Bono Solidario' for the 'Valle del Río' housing project. The court bases its decision on the failure to comply with citizen participation regulations, stating that the authority did not guarantee the effective involvement of affected residents in the public consultation, thereby rendering the administrative process flawed.
