Government plans to formalize holiday fireworks displays

During an interview with Bombo Radyo-Bacolod, Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran expressed optimism for the coming year, noting, there are a number of investments expected to enter the city. However, he said one challenge stands in the way of acquiring such funds, which he identified as waste disposal.
The vice mayor called on the public to follow guidelines on segregating garbage, which he said will reduce the city’s waste problem.
He added, fill implementation of the “No segregation, No collection” policy is planned this year.
Meanwhile, Familiaran said the Bacolod City Sangguniang Panlungsod will be proposing an ordinance to formalize fireworks displays for both Christmas and New Year’s observances.
The vice mayor said he wants to institutionalize fireworks displays as the number of people attending the event has reportedly tripled over the past few years./DGB, WDJ
