“As we enjoy the festivity, let us not forget to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of our city,” Treñas said during the opening salvo of the 52nd edition of Dinagyang on Friday, Jan. 10.

The mayor reminded the public that the city has existing ordinances that prohibits littering and vandalizing, among others.
“Our city has stiff penalties for environmental violations. Those who will be caught littering and destroying plants will be dealt with accordingly,” said Treñas.
