The Local Government Unit is set to tighten its regulation of public smoking and va**ng as the Smoke-Free and Vape-Free Task Force prepares for a major operational shift.
During an emergency meeting held at the Lambunao Primary Care Facility today, August 13, 2026, the enforcement team finalized a stricter implementation strategy scheduled to launch across the municipality next week.
The task force will target commercial establishments and designated public spaces to ensure strict compliance with Municipal Ordinance No. 17-012, also known as the Comprehensive Smoke-Free Ordinance of Lambunao, Iloilo, which has been in place since 2017.
Enforcers will initially issue a formal reprimand and warning to first-time violators before executing official citations.
Persistent violators and non-compliant business owners may face on-site documentation of infractions, formal violation notices, and legal or administrative sanctions to maintain public health and safety standards.
The LGU strongly urges the public and the local business sector to cooperate fully with the upcoming inspections to foster a healthier community and avoid administrative penalties.
