THE Quezon City government will impose a P1 increase per admission ticket in cinemas in October to support the Boy Scout and Girl Scouts of the Philippines-Quezon City Council.
The increase is embodied in City Ordinances 2595 and 2596 authored by District Councilor Elizabeth Delarmente.
The funds will go to the BSP and GSP fund to support their programs and activities.
Under the regulation, all cinema owners and operators are required to transmit and turn over to the BSP and GSP-Quezon City Council the collected proceeds, and report to the city treasurer that shall submit a corresponding report to the council.
The BSP and GSP-QC Council have been involved in promoting character development, providing adequate citizenship training and leadership among the Filipino youth of the city aside from inculcating love of country, civic consciousness and responsibility, courage and discipline, and other similar moral virtues and values, the ordinances say.
Meanwhile, Quezon City’s Barangay Sto. Cristo clinched the best barangay disaster risk reduction and management council award in the 18th Regional Gawad Kalasag, an acronym for “Kalamidad at Sakuna Labanan, Sariling Galing ang Kaligtasan.”
Councilors Franz Pumaren and Godofredo Liban II of District 3 and District 5, respectively, introduced City Resolution 6981, extending the city’s congratulations to Barangay Sto. Cristo.
The barangay showed an outstanding performance and devotion in promoting and implementing significant disaster risk reduction and managemnet programs and innovations in accordance to Republic Act 10121, or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010.
