CITY Councilor Des Dahino, chairperson of the committee on women and family relations, underscored the importance of responsible digital parenting during a recent seminar held at Iponan National High School.
The activity, conducted in partnership with the Evangelical Achiever’s Academy (EAA) and Virginia Foods, Inc., aimed to guide parents in managing their children’s exposure to online platforms and social media.
Councilor Dahino shared that, even before entering public service, she has always been passionate about parenting seminars, drawing from her experience as a registered psychometrician and as a mother.
She noted that her advocacy has since expanded to address the emerging digital challenges families face today.
“We must raise children who are not only kind and confident, but also digitally aware and responsible netizens,” Dahino emphasized. (SPE/SP)

Councilor Jonjon Rodriguez called for enhanced ventilation and stricter sanitation measures in the city’s public markets, particularly ensuring quality control of meat and fish products.
He raised these concerns in relation to the special report of Councilor Edgar Cabanlas on the financial status and ongoing activities of the city’s public markets.
Cabanlas reported that the City Government has already turned over wastewater treatment facilities to the Cogon and Carmen Markets and is planning to establish a similar facility for the Westbound Market in Barangay Bulua to further strengthen sanitation efforts.
He added they are currently seeking donors of industrial fans, as the government’s procurement process may cause delays for immediate acquisition. Meanwhile, thorough ventilation clearing has already been conducted in several market areas.
Cabanlas assured that improvements to the city’s public markets have been included in next year’s budget.
As chairperson of the committee on consumer protection, Rodriguez expressed his full support for the City Government’s initiatives to enhance public market facilities, emphasizing that proper ventilation, sanitation, and regular inspections are vital in maintaining public health and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for both vendors and consumers.
