MANILA — The Department of Public Services of Manila took the lead in an initiative aimed at enhancing awareness and knowledge among zoo personnel and food stall operators regarding cleanliness and organization, both within and outside the bounds of Manila Zoo on Wednesday.
During the event, municipal officials engaged with entrepreneurs and stall proprietors to discuss the significance of adhering to the Sanitation Law and to foster a deeper comprehension of its principles.
This legal framework is rooted in RA 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.
Deliberations also encompassed the appropriate care of animals, the maintenance of their habitats within and beyond the Zoo’s confines, and the establishment of a secure and pathogen-free work environment for the staff. (ai/mnm)
