BACOLOD City – The Sangguniang Panlugsod (SP) here recently approved an ordinance declaring the third week of August as Ordinance Awareness Week.

Authored by councilors Jocelle Batapa-Sigue and Archie Baribar, the measure seeks to increase public awareness on various city ordinances.

It also aims to educate Bacolodnons about local laws to help them practice “responsible citizenship.”

A massive information campaign on the Ordinance Awareness Week will be held to update the people about the purpose of all ordinances, especially the newly approved ones, said Sigue.

Competitions and workshops, exhibits, and displays will also be held in line with the information campaign.

All SP members and their presiding officer, Vice Mayor Greg Gasataya, will lead the observance of the Ordinance Awareness Week.
