With Christmas Day just around the corner, Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II reminded Dabawenyos anew to follow the firecracker ban policy of the city government of Davao and avoid getting penalized.
The city recently issued an advisory penalty to be imposed for those who violate the Firecracker Ban Ordinance of Davao City.
The directive follows the Davao City Ordinance 060-02 which provides for the penalties: first offense- P1,000 or 20-30 days in jail; second offense- P3,000 or imprisonment for 1-3 months; and third offense-P5,000 or imprisonment for 3-6 months.
“Likayan nato nga mahimong masulub-on ang atong pasko tungod kay wala nato gi-follow ang balaod. Imbes na maglipay kita kauban ang atong pamilya magkaproblema na nuon mo'” he said.
Rigo reminded Dabawenyos not to let their Christmas mood go wasted just because they mess up with the policy and safety measures of the city.
The Davao City Police Office (DCPO) is intensifying its monitoring on the implementation of the firecracker ban including the use of lantaka (bamboo cannon) with the onset of Christmas and New Year revelries.
The personnel from the 19 police stations in Davao City are monitoring establishments under their area of responsibility (AOR) on the prohibition of the sale of firecrackers. The personnel also monitor the communities for individuals who are using or manufacturing lantaka (bamboo canon).
Advisories on the prohibitions of the use of firecrackers and lantaka are also posted on their Facebook Page and inside the police stations.
