ILOILO City – Public and private establishments in this city must have toilets and ensure the adequate provision of the facility.
The provision of sanitary toilets has been made mandatory with the approval of the Iloilo City Sanitary Toilet/Rest Room Ordinance during Tuesday’s regular session of the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP).
Dr. Candice Magdalene Tupas, author of the ordinance, said the city government must be dedicated to providing basic services to promote the health, sanitation and welfare of its residents and tourists alike.
The ordinance covers shopping malls or centers including the floors with shops in commercial buildings, supermarkets and wet markets, restaurants, coffee shops, hawker food centers, food courts, nightclubs, discotheques, pubs and karaoke houses, conference halls, cinemas, convention halls and exhibition halls, parks and plazas, transport terminals, gas stations, community centers or community clubs, stadiums and sports halls, public swimming pools, hotels, resorts and schools, and universities.
The classifications are not exclusive and may cover other establishments not mentioned but with toilet within their premises, which the general public has free access regardless of payment or nonpayment to access the premises.
Toilets and rest rooms are open to the public and their customers, whether it will be offered with or without a fee.
Tupas said the ordinance provides the minimum standard requirements in the construction, maintenance and operations of public toilets in the city of Iloilo. (PNA)
