PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, June 14 (PNA) -– The
local police is set to implement curfew against minors as well as the
prohibition of the sale of intoxicating beverages to children in this city.
Supt. Michael Palermo, local police chief, told the
Philippines News Agency that the imposition of curfew is pursuant to a directive
from higher headquarters given to the chiefs of police during the recent
command conference.
The order, according to Palermo, is to determine whether
there is an existing curfew ordinance for children in their respective locality
and if there is, it must be properly implemented.
Palermo said this city has an existing edict known as
City Ordinance No. 43, which was approved on October 1, 1984, imposing curfew
for minors.
He said the ordinance prohibits children aged 18 and
below to stay outside their residence from 10 p.m. until 4 a.m. the next day.
The implementation of the ordinance is also in line with
the proposal of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte to impose a nationwide curfew
for minors.
Palermo added that they will also implement Ordinance No.
40, which was approved last October 3, 1983 that prohibits the sale of
intoxicating drinks and/or intoxicating beverages to minors in the public
places in this city.
He said that violators of the two ordinances will be
brought to the police headquarters for appropriate actions to include filing of
charges as well as payment of corresponding fines. (PNA)
