Sunday Session Road patrons told to dispose trash

By Aileen P. Refuerzo

BAGUIO CITY -- The Public Order and Safety Division (POSD) urged residents and tourists taking part in Sunday Session Road activities to dispose of their wastes properly.
    In a post, the POSD cited the practice of indiscriminately throwing of garbage resulting to littered and unsightly streets.
"Nanawagan po kami sa ating mga residente at mga turista na mamasyal tuwing linggo sa Session Road Sunday Pedestrianization na huwag po natin itapon kung saan-saan ang ating basura," the POSD pleaded.
    "Pangalagaan po natin ang kalinisan at kaayusan ng lunsod. Ilagay po natin sa tamang lugar ang ating mga pinagkainan at mga pinag-inuman na kape at tsaa."
    Litterbugs are culpable for violation of city ordinance 54-1988 as amended by ordinance 59-2020 or the city’s anti-littering ordinance which declares as “unlawful for any person to spit, or expectorate discharge mucus from the nose, urinate, defecate, vomit, throw, dump, leave or scatter pieces of paper, peelings, cigarette or tobacco butts, soil or any kind of refuse or garbage in public places.”
    The ordinance imposes penalties of fines ranging from P1,000 to 5,000.
