The City Government, through the City Health Services Office (CHSO) and the Smoke Free Task Force, continues to intensify its campaign against smoking and va**ng in public places in the Summer Capital.

The move is in line with Mayor Benjamin Magalong’s directive to deputize barangay officials and volunteers to fully implement the Anti-Road Obstruction, Smoke-Free and Anti-Loitering ordinances.

The CHSO, under Dr. Celia Flor Brillantes, has been conducting orientations in the city’s barangays to train officials and volunteers on the proper issuance of citation tickets while random inspections remain active, with at least two night inspections per month and surprise checks to ensure compliance.

“Ginagawa namin, pumupunta kami per barangay ino-orient ang mga barangay officials and volunteers sa paggamit ng citation tickets. And, of course, tuloy-tuloy pa rin yung ongoing random inspections, at least twice a month na random inspections as well as surprise inspections,” Smoke-Free Task Force Communications Management Officer JD Rivera said.

Data from 2024 shows that 20 designated smoking areas were approved, with 16 establishments renewing their permits this year with applications for smoking areas being carefully reviewed and approvals or denials are based on strict qualifications.

The task force also continues with its Information Education Campaigns, distributing materials and giving reminders during barangay lectures and public gatherings.

Enforcement has been robust, with over 1,000 individuals and establishments apprehended last year by CHSO implementors, the Baguio City Police Office (BCPO), Department of Science and Technology, sanitation division and community enforcers.

Rivera said that last year, more than 1,000 individuals and establishments were apprehended by BCPO personnel, POSD, the sanitation division, and deputized community volunteers in accordance with the ordinance.

This multi-sectoral approach demonstrates Baguio’s commitment to maintaining its status as a smoke-free city, combining law enforcement, education and community participation. - Jhezereel Bangaoet /PIO-Intern/gabykeith

"Once a Louisian, Always a Missionary."

This phrase is not just a motto; it is a lifelong commitment to service. In keeping with this tradition, with the help of the Laboratory High School - Health Services Unit, the Grade 12 STEM C - St. Francis of Assisi students recently gathered for a Educational Program Orientation focused on community health and pediatric wellness last January 28, 2026.

The orientation served as the launching pad for a peer-mentorship initiative. These senior students are preparing to visit elementary classrooms to facilitate hands-on workshops on proper hygiene and correct tooth brushing techniques. By stepping into the role of health educators, our Grade 12 Louisians are transforming their academic knowledge into meaningful community action.

Students: Group 3 of 12 STEM - C (St. Francis of Assisi)
School Nurse: Mary Ann Bacullo
School Dentist: Dr. Lorna Marie Halog
Immersion Teacher: Ms. Marifel Camero, LPT, MAT-ESL
LAC - Immersion: Ms. Evangelyn Wayagwag, LPT, MBA

-Food and Safety Orientation-

We want to give a massive shout-out to all the high school participants who completed our Food and Safety Orientation last October 8-9, 2025!

By learning and mastering these vital protocols, our students are taking a direct role in protecting the health of their peers, families, and our entire community. A massive Thank You goes out to the ABM Department for inviting us to lead this important talk!

When you see them handling food, serving at school events, or even volunteering, you know they're doing it safely and responsibly.

Great job, everyone! Let's keep up the high standard of safety!

-Wear Face Masks-

Schools are high-density environments where respiratory viruses like the common cold and flu (ILI) spread quickly. Consistent mask use can significantly lower the overall rate of infection in the classroom.

Wearing a face mask in a school setting, especially during the respiratory illness season, offers several key benefits for both the individual student/teachers/staff member and the entire school community:

🩺Prevent the spread of infection;
🩺Protects vulnerable individuals;
🩺By lowering the rate of illness, mask-wearing can help reduce student absenteeism, allowing more children to stay in class and maintain continuity in their learning. It also helps reduce staff and teacher absences.
