‘Patrol ng Pilipino’ Reexamines Smoking Ban

More than 4,000 violators have already been apprehended since the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) launched the smoking ban last July 1. How have Filipino smokers adapted to it?

Join Gretchen Malalad as she tags along with MMDA personnel roving the streets for smoking ban violators tomorrow, Tuesday (August 23) in “Patrol ng Pilpino.”

While the government is doing its best to implement the law, it is not spared from criticisms. What do smokers have to say about the order against smoking? Who else gets affected by it?

Recently, Mandaluyong Judge Carlos Valenzuela issued a temporary restraining order on the campaign, but only covering sidewalks and public thoroughfares. The said TRO was prompted by two smokers caught by the MMDA from an “operation” that was said to be staged by a major tobacco company and the MMDA.

Meanwhile, catch Jasmin Romero as she uncovers the lengths Filipinos go to look beautiful, including cheap teeth accessories and contact lenses, which may be affordable but hazardous.

All these in “Bandila” on Tuesday (August 23) after Bandila on ABS-CBN.
