Councilor El Cid Familiaran has filed two resolutions approved by his colleagues in the Sangguniang Panlungsod during Wednesday’s session, one of which resolved to require all graduating high school students, either private or public school, to plant at least 2 tree seedlings as pre-requisite before graduation. This will somehow address the global warming and conserve the environment, he stated.
Another resolution of Coun. Familiaran approved by the SP was an ordinance prohibiting the use of cellular phones, operation of load centers, and/or any business of similar nature, within 30-meter radius from the fuel pumps or gasoline stations, located in Bacolod City. This is for safety of both the business operator, the public and celphone users themselves. Councilor Sonya Verdeflor for her part has resolved urging the Division of City Schools, Department of Health, Barangay Operation Center, barangay councils, media, movie houses and such other public information agencies, to strictly conduct a continuing program to educate, inform and disseminate to the public the provisions of City Ordinance No. 172, Series of 1996 otherwise known as "an ordinance regulating smoking in public places of Bacolod City, and imposing penalty for violation thereof. P200.00 for first offense, P300.00 - second offense, and third offense - P500.00 with imprisonment of 10 days. Verdeflor stated in her resolution that smoking in public places is really rampant and tolerated, which is a threat and hazard to non-smokers.* By Edith B. Colmo Negros Daily Bulletin
