                                     By: Carlos M. Saligan, Jr.

The Thirteenth Sanggunian Panlalawigan of
the Province of Agusan del Sur has passed,
after a series of public hearings in the
thirteen municipalities and one city from
April 12, 2011 to May 11, 2011 an
Ordinance No. 69 series of 2011.

The purpose of this ordinance is to
safeguard public health and ensure the well
being of all constituents by protecting them
from the harmful effects of smoking and
tobacco consumption
                                                          f. Placing, posting, or distributing
This ordinance shall apply to all persons,                   advertisement materials of tobacco

resident or not, and in all places, found                    and similar materials, outside the

del Sur.                                                     establishments and, even if inside
                                                             the premises of point-of-sale
                                                             establishments,        when         the
                                                             establishments are not allowed to
                                                             sell or distribute tobacco products

                                                          It is hoped that the measure will
                                                          denormalize the culture of smoking and
                                                          tobacco consumption in the province.
