Abaday nangusog masumpo ang paggamit sa solvent sa minor de edad

TUNGOD sa pagkuyanap sa paggamit sa solvent sa mga minor de edad dinhi sa syudad, gihingusgan ni Konsehal Roger Abaday, chairman sa komite sa public order and safety, nga masumpo kini pinaagi sa hugot nga koordinasyon sa mga barangay officials ug sa City Social Services ingon man ang kapolisan.

Kini ang unod sa special report ni Konsehal Abaday atol sa sesyon niadtong Lunes nga gidumala ni Bise Mayor Bebot Rodriguez.

`Gisugyot ni Abaday ang pagpatuman sa Presidential Decree No. 1619, ang balaod nga nagpahamtang og silot ngadto sa mga malapason.

Siya midugang nga ang dakbayan adunay ordinansa nga nagdili sa mga establisemento sa pagbaligya og rugby ngadto sa mga minor de edad.

Angayan e-monitor sa syudad ang mga establisemento kon nagtuman ba sila niini nga regulasyon tungod kay nagkadaghan ang mga rugby boys sa kadalanan.

Ang maong taho giduso ni Bise Mayor Bebot Rodriguez ngadto sa komite sa barangay affairs ni Konsehal Marlo Tabac ug sa komite sa social services ni Konsehal Maximo Rodriguez alang sa tukmang aksyon ug rekomendasyon. (MLR/SP)

Proposed ordinance allowing religious, cultural attire in schools set for discussion

The City Council committee on education, chaired by Councilor Jing Y. Daba IV, will deliberate on the proposed ordinance, allowing the wearing of religious and cultural garments in academic institutions.

The proposed measure is anchored on Article III, Section 5 of the 1987 Constitution, as well as Department of Education Order No. 32, s. 2013, and other pertinent laws.

Authored by Congressman Maximo T. Rodriguez III, the proposed ordinance covers all public and private schools within the city’s jurisdiction.

It upholds the right of students to wear religious and cultural attire as part of their daily school dress, provided that such garments do not hinder their full participation in academic activities or on safety and hygiene.

Under the proposal, religious garments refer to clothing worn in observance of one’s faith, including but not limited to hijabs, turbans, veils, and yarmulkes.

Cultural garments, on the other hand, pertain to traditional attire that reflects an individual’s cultural identity and heritage. (JAO/SP)
