Davao City outlaws spitting in public

DAVAO CITY, Philippinesâ€”The city council here has outlawed spitting in public places.

On Tuesday, the Sangguniang Panlungsod (city council) passed an ordinance that banned spitting in public places and would penalize violators with fines or a jail term.

The city council passed the ordinance not only to stem the "nasty habit but to protect the health of the people as well," Councilor Samuel Bangoy, the city lawâ€™s proponent, said.

Bangoy said they considered the measure timely in view of the pandemic of the Influenza A (H1N1) virus, which could be transmitted by air from droplets of saliva.

In adopting the law, Bangoy said they studied the anti-spitting laws that France passed in 1880 and America in 1896.

During that time, the aim was also to control the spread of deadly diseases.

"Many of these diseases can spread by air and spitting," Bangoy, who chairs the city councilâ€™s health committee and a practicing radiologist, said.

"As you can see, there are people who will just spit anywhere like in the malls, cinemas or in public transports," he said.

Bangoy urged people to use a handkerchief or tissue paper, when sneezing or spitting.

"You can always use a handkerchief, a napkin and look for a proper place to discard your saliva," he said.

He said violators would be fined P100 for the first offense, P200 for the second offense and P300 for third offense.

"In case of insolvency, the court may grant a subsidiary imprisonment of not more than six months; or at its discretion, may slap both fine and imprisonment," Bangoy said.

"This can also bring about personal change and has ethical value as well," the councilor added.

Tony Ajero, a publisher of a local tabloid here, described the measure as "novel, timely and healthy in the light of so many reasons."

"It can also be good for tourism," he said.

Davao city is trying to imitate the success of Singapore where it is super clean and criminality is low.
spitting is also forbidden. If this is pushed through this is a vey good news. IÂ´m thinking if ramadan starts, how will the muslim population behave, sila man kini ang mahilig manluwa, kay po-asa man.

"IÂ´m thinking if ramadan starts, how will the muslim population behave, sila man kini ang mahilig manluwa, kay po-asa man."

hahaha, i have the same thoughts... during ramadan, muslims are required to undergo fasting from sun up to sundown. they are not allowed to swallow anything, be it food, water, or even their own saliva. that is the reason why they have to spit their saliva if there is any accumulation in the mouth at any moment in the course of their fasting.

i wonder how the muslim members of the davao city council reacted when the measure was presented by the proponent and deliberated upon by the body.

Sa Davao way magpataka ug paboto (firecrackers) during christmas and new year celebration busa di mahalin ang paboto didto kay multahan man. Ang maka sapon naay Ps1K na reward.

padad-on lang ni sila og bursita, manay, aron adto isulod ilang luwa.

nindot kining balaorona sa Davao. apan, mao lagi, sa masakpan ra pod.

apan kung ma-edukar ning mga tawo, dili lang kay dili na sila mangluwa, di na pod manglabay og mga basurahan bisan asa. kabalo na man ta nga bisan unsaon og butang "Guinadili ang paglabay og basura dinhi" adto man hinoon ilabay.

basin na lang pinaagi niini, makakat-on sab ang mga tawo pagpahinlo sa lugar gikan sa basura.

This was what my former USC classmate from Mindanao told me, hilig daw kaayu mangluwa bisag asa, ang mga non-Christians. Bisag TILES pana ang salog.

Weird. Maayu gane wala ni sa Cebu. Maka turn off mani. Sag unsa pa ka gwapo ang lake.

mao nay gitawag ug mama sa bisaya. in english, it is called betel nut. chewing of betel nut is not limited to muslims alone. if you go to the cordilleras, you will find out that the igorots are fond of chewing betel nut as well. sa mga pathways, be it cement or earthen, daghan ka makita nga pula nga luwa, obviously from the betel nut chewers. maski sa uban countries, people chew betel nut. in india, you can buy it from the sidewalk like you do with cigarettes. high-tech pa gyud kay naa silay daghan klaseng flavors :-)

wa na man kaajo ni didto...sa una mga nitibo man mga bagobo, muslims...pero wa man jud ko kita nah ani..

actually i think this provision was initiated bcuz of abuses by badjao beggars. pinugos na man gud cla mang limos...og di ka mohatag, luwaan ka; mga students nga mosud og skols, bantayn nila sa gate og di mohatag, luwaan ka....ikaw kuno beh naka formal dress ka paingon sa party o bisan na lng mo simba ka, luwaan ka sa mga badjao...masuko jud ka ehhh..daghn na man sab na sumbagan nga badjao sa uban nga di na ka pugong sa ka lagot sa ila.

dugay na sab na implement sa Davao ang no smoking inside any buildings, di lng mga resto, bars og discobars, bisan unsa nga business jud, no smoking inside, no exception. gawas jud ang tao sa building og mag smoke...

dakog asenso ang Dvo sa tourist attractions...
