NEWS (August 11 – August 17, 2008) Oplan Dalus continues in LC LC exec warns kalesa kutseros By Dominic B. dela Cruz Staff Reporter ALL kalesa
kutseros in Laoag have been warned by a city government
official for their reported non-observance of the Oplan Dalus code if the
city. The warning was aired by
city administrator Gloria F. Peralta in a regular staff meeting at the City
Hall after her personal observation of scattered horse manure in the
different streets in the city’s poblacion area. In view if this, Peralta
instructed the Community Affairs Office to immediately act on the matter and
to strictly implement the Oplan Dalus code. Peralta explained that the
horse manure littered around the city’s commercial area reflects on the image
of the city, which has earlier been inducted into the Hall of Fame of the
cleanest and greenest search in the country. “Mabagaan da kuma ngamin
nga adda tay pangtaya da kuma dagitay horse manure da tapnu saan nga
maregreg ket nakababain a maiwar-warang,” Peralta noted. Aside from kalesas,
Peralta also asked the CAO to also include operators and drivers of other
modes of public transportation that operate in the city with regards to the
Oplan Dalus information dissemination as she pointed out that the cleanliness
code is not just meant for Laoag residents but also for those who enter the
city. She stressed that violators
of the said code should not excuse anyone and that they should face the
penalties provided for by the local law. Penalties for violating the
said code are fines of P300 for the first offense, P600 for the second
offense, and P1,000 for the third offense. City community affairs
officer Mylene Pascual said she would immediately act on Peralta’s
recommendations. The
Ilocos Times also learned that tricycle
drivers and operators have also been advised to put garbage receptacles in
their units in observance of the Oplan Dalus code. In a related development,
assistant city engineer Fred Agpaoa also announced that the City Engineering
Office has also started the construction of public urinals to be placed in
strategic areas around the city. The public urinals,
according to Agpaoa, aims to give people a place to relieve themselves
instead of urinating anywhere. These urinals, Agpaoa added,
would be placed along busy streets, public transportation terminals and
commercial establishments. Ilocos Times copyright 2008 |
