MANILA, Philippines - A Quezon City councilor filed a proposed resolution urging the city health department to strictly enforce the provisions of the sanitary code of the Philippines in business establishments in the city, particularly bus terminals.
Councilor Marvin Rillo of the city's fourth district said he issued the proposal after receiving complaints that errant establishments both private and public only comply with the sanitary code of the Philippines during the time of inspections and renewal of permits putting the public's health at great risk.
The complaint said that some bus terminals in the city have poorly maintained and filthy comfort rooms primarily due to normal wear and tear and lack of adequate supply of running water.
Rillo called on the public to report non-complying bus terminals and other establishments that violate the sanitary code of the Philippines vowing that immediate actions will be taken against them. (Chito A. Chavez)
