LEGAZPI CITY MOVES FORWARD TOWARDS A 100% SMOKE-FREE ENVIRONMENT
The City Government of Legazpi finds strong alliance and support from the Civil Service Commission in implementing a 100% smoke-free environment policy based on the CSC’s latest Memorandum Circular 17, series 2009 dated May 29, 2009 signed by Chairman Ricardo Saludo.
Said Memorandum Circular provides guidelines and directs ALL government offices to make all areas of their premises and grounds totally free from smoking. Smoking may be allowed but in a designated smoking area in OUTDOOR SPACES ONLY. There are guidelines in putting a smoking area, and these will be fully discussed to the public.
Legazpi City is the first local government unit (LGU) which recognized the importance of the CSC policy.
