Dumaguete Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo joined members of the Council in acknowledging the six awards conferred to the City by the Department of Health, presented to them Wednesday by Health Officer Dr. Maria Sarah Talla and Smoke-Free advocate Joaquin Jeffrey Abella III.

Dr. Talla said the six awards conferred during the recent Regional Health Summit in Cebu include: Best LGU in Implementing the Philippine Package of Essential Non-Communicable Diseases Interventions (Healthy Lifestyle); Best Practice on Community-Based After- Care Program for Recovering Drug Dependents & Contributing Immeasurably to the Dangerous Drug Abuse Prevention & Treatment Program; Top Performing LGU on the National Tuberculosis Program; Top Performing LGU on Percentage of Households with Sanitary Toilet Facilities; Exemplary Support, Invaluable Service & Dedication during the School-Based Immunization, and the National Red Orchid Award for the implementation of the smoke-free ordinance, the second such distinction for the City.

Mayor Remollo lauded the officers and staff of the City government for the various awards won, reminding them to perform well not for the recognition but in fulfillment of their duty to serve the constituents.

He also acknowledged the enthusiastic support of the City Council to the initiatives and programs of the administration.
