A resolution requesting the Bacolod City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office through the City Mayor’s Office to conduct earthquake and fire drill in all public and private schools in Bacolod City, is being proposed by Councilor El Cid Familiaran.
The resolution said that based on the Implementing Rules and Regulations of R.A. 10121, the LDRRMO is to disseminate information and raise public awareness about hazards, vulnerabilities and risks, their nature effects, early warning signs and counter measures on disasters and calamities. Meanwhile, Councilor Catalino Alisbo has authored an ordinance prohibiting all persons, entities and business establishments and bus terminals in Bacolod City from charging any fee to senior citizens and persons with disabilities for the use of comfort rooms/restrooms. The resolution said senior citizens and PWD’s are at a great disadvantage since they are less mobile, or incapable of walking further to look for “free comfort rooms and rest rooms” when they are in private or public places. Familiaran also authored a resolution urging the Sanitary Inspection Section of the City Health Office through the CMO to inspect food establishments, restaurants, canteens, food outlets, caterers and food manufacturers or processors to ensure that they are using iodized salt. The resolution said iodized salt contains iodine which is considered an essential element that enables thyroid glands to produce (thyroid) hormones for one’s healthy growth, especially children and the young, as well as prevent cancer or goiter. He has also proposed an ordinance establishing oversight and backstopping functions of the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Bacolod City The ordinance said one of the inherent functions of local policy makers and legislative bodies in the performance of its obligations to maintain an honest, transparent and accountable local government unit is through an effective oversight of the local government bureaucracy, its functions and/or instrumentalities. The ordinance was co-authored by Councilors Archie Baribar, Sonya Verdeflor, Catalino Alisbo and Elmer Sy. *CGS
