SIGNED, SEALED, SERVING THE PEOPLE ✍️🤗
I just signed yesterday a set of ordinances that move important policies from the session hall straight into real action, all guided by one clear goal: PARA SA MAS MATATAG NA PAMILYA AT MAS MAUNLAD NA LUNGSOD.
These measures focus on protecting families, empowering the youth, strengthening basic services, and keeping our city safe, orderly, and prepared. Here are the ordinances we officially put into effect:
• An Ordinance Imposing A Total Ban of The Manufacture Production of Firecrackers and Pyrotechnic Devices Within Dagupan City and strictly prohibiting the sale, distribution, display, possession, transport, and use thereof, with clear public safety standards, barangay and enforcement responsibilities, and penalties for violations. This is about keeping celebrations joyful and injury free.
• An Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 2357 2025 on the regulation of vaporized ni****ne, non ni****ne, and heated to***co products, strengthening controls in youth sensitive areas, adding safeguards in business permit renewals, clarifying enforcement roles, and rolling out a phased implementation to better protect our young people.
• An Ordinance Institutionalizing A City Wide Youth Engagement, Volunteerism, and Community Attachment Program to give our youth more space to serve, lead, and stay connected with their communities.
• An Ordinance Institutionalizing The Qualification Standards, Registration, Accreditation, Performance Evaluation, Continued Service, and Retirement or Separation Incentives of Barangay Health Workers in the City of Dagupan, while strengthening the Local Health Board and ensuring due process and proper funding. Our BHWs deserve clear support and recognition.
• An Ordinance Institutionalizing a Barangay Implemented Resident, Boarder, and Transient Registration System with City Level Oversight as a public order, safety, disaster preparedness, and service planning measure, with data privacy and non discrimination safeguards in place.
• An Ordinance Creating The Ten Outstanding Policemen Award in the City of Dagupan to recognize excellence, dedication, and integrity among our police officers.
Huge thanks to our Sangguniang Panlungsod, led by Vice Mayor Bryan Kua and the New Majority Councilors, for the hard work, long hours, and shared commitment that made these measures possible. This kind of teamwork is how policies turn into progress.
These ordinances reflect one simple direction. Make policies work on the ground, protect people where it matters most, and keep building a city that looks after every Dagupeño, every day.
So, help us God. 🙏
