To raise awareness on the newly enacted Ordinance No. 22-687 otherwise known as Bawal Bastos Ordinance, under the inclusive leadership of Mayor Sitti Djalia A. Turabin-Hataman, the City Government of Isabela de Basilan held an information session via its radio program Usapang Babae at Iba Pa on March 23 at 97.5 DXNO Radyo Komunidad.
Episode 5 of Usapang Babae at Iba Pa was still part of the City’s activities on National Women’s Month Celebration. Gracing the episode was Councilor Karel Annjaiza R. Sakkalahul who is also the Principal Sponsor of the said ordinance. She discussed the salient points of Bawal Bastos Ordinance and proudly shared that Isabela City is just the 3rd City in entire Philippines and 1st City in entire Mindanao to pass the Bawal Bastos Ordinance- a local law on safe spaces.
“Base sa karanasan ko at sa nasasaksihan ko na kaso, sa mga kwento ng iba’t iba kong mga kaibigan na binabastos sa mga pampublikong lugar, lalu na po yung mga LGBTQIA+ community at syempre sa mga kababaihan . Bilang Isabeleño at legislator o public servant hindi po tayo papayag na nababastos po yung mga kapwa natin. Hindi lang sya basta2x na ordinansa, talagang pinag aralan po namin ito,” she said.
Thank you so much Councilor Karel Annjaiza R. Sakkalahul for all your endeavours for the present and toward the future of Isabela City!
Soaring to more effective interventions and initiatives for all the women!
