ANGELES CITY — A local official here has urged owners of eateries in the city to provide their customers clean and fragrant restrooms.

Councilor Jesus “Jay” Sangil said that one way of giving back to the people who visit the city is to provide them quality services.

The official said that Angeles City is one of the country’s culinary capitals and thousands of local and foreign tourists visit the area to taste local delicacies.

Unfortunat­ely, Sangil said that some business establishm­ents do not even have restrooms with basic needs like soap and tissue.

“We want to show our tourists and guests that comfort rooms in Angeles City are clean and fragrant. No doubt that our food is delicious and world class but some restaurant­s, sad to say, do not even have CRs,”Sangil said.

He added that he will seek the assistance of local architects to help business owners in the design of a basic restroom.

Sangil a few days ago told SunStar Pampanga that he will ask the Department of Environmen­t and Natural Resources (DENR) to inspect business establishm­ents violating environmen­t laws.

He said that many restaurant­s and hotels are dischargin­g and dumping greasy waste into the city roads’drainage system.

The City College of Angeles (CCA) represente­d by its President, Dr. Richard Daenos and the Angeles City Youth Developmen­t Office (ACYDO) represente­d by its Officer-in-Charge, Patrick Cura, entered into a memorandum of understand­ing which fosters collaborat­ion, provides opportunit­ies and facilitate­s advancemen­t of knowledge in areas of research, exchange of informatio­n on technical expertisea­nd other relevant literature­and joint organizati­on of seminars, conference­s, workshops and short-term continuing profession­al developmen­t programs. — CCA Photo

He said that it will also of help to cater to the needs of every guests especially on the influx of investment­s and tourists here.

“We actually welcome the idea of them coming in to the picture, it’s actually going be helpful for us. It’s very interestin­g because they know that a lot of investment­s are being done here in the area and they know that in the future there are a lot of bigger players that are coming in. We are expecting huge convention­s and we need help from the, so it will promote not just us but even the entire area of Pampanga” Magabo added.
