Councilor Ely Estante Jr., the author of the five-year-old ordinance, proposes a resolution asking the City Health Office and the City Legal Office to strictly enforce the local law.
Iloilo City Councilor Ely Estante Jr. used one of Christ’s Seven Last Words in a privilege speech on Wednesday, March 1 to highlight violations of the five-year-old Free Potable Service Water Ordinance that he authored.
“As principal author of this ordinance, I am outraged that, after five years since this ordinance was enacted, there are food establishments in the city that still do not provide free, potable service water to their customers in blatant violation of this ordinance,” Estante stressed. The ordinance was passed in March 2018 in recognition of the “right of citizens to have free access to safe, clean, and potable drinking water.”
