Last May 30, 2011 , Metro Manila started their campaign to ban smoking in public places. Smoking cigarettes in major and secondary roads, waiting sheds, terminals, schools, recreational places, hospital and inside public utility vehicles is already prohibited.
A sweet-500 pesos will be charged to violators or they can opt to render an eight-hour community service.
Now, can we implement the same here in Cebu?
Cebuanos, let us call a ban on smoking in public places. And hopefully not just a mere "ban" but an actual implementation. There should be heavy fines if someone will be caught smoking in public places.
Tingog fellow Cebuanos.
An attempt to help the Philippines hit the Guinness World Record was conducted last June 12, 2011, with almost 9,000 local climbers joining.
Osmeña Peak is located in Mantalongon, Dalaguete in the province of Cebu. The mointain is formed by several uniquely formed peaks. It is Cebu's highest peak and was named after the Osmena family.
Along with Osmeña Peak, three other destinations in Cebu were trooped by local climbers, Mt. Babag and Mt. Manunggal.
The entries from Cebu alone were enough to break the record currently held by the United Kingdom and Ireland of 600 climbers scaling 112 mountains. Cebu had 946 climbers who trooped to Osmeña Peak, Mt. Babag and Mt. Manunggal.
Among the three climbing destinations in Cebu, Osmeña Peak ranked the most number of delegates.
