Iloilo City will host the first quarterly meeting of the Southeast Asian Tobacco Control Alliance-Philippine chapter of the Southeast Asian Tobacco Control Alliance today at City Hall. Fifteen mayors and focal persons will participate in the meeting.
Mayor Jerry P. Treñas called the event an opportunity to showcase “smoke-free tourism assets.”
“Participants are also tourists who will explore and taste the culinary delights and scenes of the city, aside from being critical tobacco control enforcers,” said Iloilo City Anti-Smoking Task Force Director Iñigo Garingalao. “We will share the city’s anti-smoking implementations through policies, ordinances, initiatives, and best practices.”
As part of the event, the delegates will tour the city./WDJ
