Stores urged to take down
cigaret advertising posters
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
The Dumaguete City government is urging business establishments and public transports to remove all materials advertising cigarets and other tobacco products, or face sanctions.
This is in line with Ordinance No. 94, Series of 2011, or the Anti-Smoking Ordinance that bans smoking in public places and states other prohibitions, City Administrator William Ablong yesterday said.
The city reminded owners or managers of business establishments, including sari-sari stores, and all public conveyances, such as motorcabs-for-hire, multi-cabs, jeepneys and buses, to cooperate with the city in the enforcement of the ordinance.
| Two nabbed in drug-busts Two more suspected drug pushers were arrested in operations held in Tayasan town and Dumaguete City, in Negros Oriental, Monday. The arrests brought to 77 the total number of suspected drug personalities nabbed by the Provincial Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group of the Philippine National Police, in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies in Negros Oriental, since Dec. 30, 2013. Insp. Ryan Jay Orapa, PAIDSOTG chief, identified the two arrested as Jjhonry Lambo of Tayasan, and Ofelia Catibud of Cadawinonan in Dumaguete. |
| Honorarium of BHWs increased Barangay Health Workers of Negros Oriental will get a P100 increase in their monthly honorarium from the provincial government starting this year. Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo announced this during the distribution of the honorarium of BHWs province-wide recently, a press release from the Capitol said. He said the increase is the provincial government’s way of recognizing the BHWs as valuable partners in the delivery of basic health services to the people. |
