Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte has issued a warning against funeral parlors holding wakes or “burol” at home.
Belmonte on Wednesday warned funeral parlor personnel that they could be fined P5,000 and could face revocation of business permit if they allow such at home as it is still prohibited under Ordinance No. SP-2907 S-2000.
The mayor issued the same warning against barangay officials as they could also be fined P5,000, face imprisonment of up to six months or be charged under Republic Act No. 11332 or the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Disease and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act.
I SALUTE Valenzuela City Mayor Rex Gatchalian for doing his job and demonstrating what political will can do.
With traffic at the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) in the first week of December creating a hell-on-earth for more than half a million Filipinos, he cleverly did what he could do within his jurisdiction. He suspended the business license of NLEX Corp. to operate in Valenzuela City, where it has seven toll stations.
With that kind of leadership ability, Gatchalian, just 41 years old, could or should be president someday.
No permit, no authority to collect tolls: it became a freeway, clearing like a miracle the traffic there which at its worst had led to congestion even in Valenzuela City’s inner roads. This is what state power should be doing, responding swiftly to alleviate its citizens’ suffering.
