-MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, March 27 (PIA) -- One of the superstores in Maasin City pledges to discontinue selling cigarettes especially when they are located within the 100-meters radius from an elementary school.
+MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Mar. 30 (PIA) -- The Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-Southern Leyte has released funds for the equipment of business enterprises in the city.
-“I have talked with Dr. Edward Gaisano, the Maasin Hiper (Gaisano) owner and he agreed to stop selling cigarettes at the superstore," a Maasin City Mayor Maloney Samaco said.
+The DOST Southern Leyte released P700,000 to Marte Technova shop for the production of needed equipment of Small Medium Scale (SMS) business enterprises.
-The incessant campaign to prohibit smoking in public places had now reached newly established superstores in the city that are still selling cigarettes to those who live within the 100 meter–radius from schools, he disclosed.
+Marte Technova produces food utensils and equipments for use by the small medium scale enterprises in the locality.
-The mayor even requested the Hiper owner to also put down the billboards of cigarettes set up inside the superstore.
+DOST provincial director Engr. Dominador Clavejo said most of the equipment needed by the local food industries such as stainless tables, machine parts like grater, among others, will be readily available in the community as Marte Technova shop is capable to undertake the production of such food utensils.
-“As long as I am still the mayor of Maasin City, I will not issue any business permits allowing any establishment to sell cigarettes particularly those that are located within the prohibited areas,” he further said.
+“Instead of purchasing the needed equipment of the local food industries from Cebu City, these will soon be locally available with lesser expenses will be involved,” Clavejo reported.
-He also gave instructions to the city employees to always wear the anti-smoking pins together with their ID cards in slings as the city government is expecting national evaluators to visit in the city by next week.
+He said these equipment were usually purchased outside the province since these could not be bought in the locality.
+The cost of these needed food utensils also became more costly since one has to spend additional expense for the transportation cost in order to get these mentioned equipment, he added.
+Southern Leyte has a host of small medium scale food industries hence the demand to for such equipment has encouraged the Marte Technova to produce locally, he said.
