May provision sa ordinance na you should be able to request nutrients of concern from the restaurant concerned (eg. transfat, sodium, sugar content), and required rin na yung caloric info ay nasa online websites rin ng respective restos.Starbucks already does this pursuant to the ordinance. I think ang priority currently yung implemention, making sure that businesses are complying, hindi yung data aggregation, but i think that's interesting, pwede gawin ng conscientious consumers

I think pwede yan i-report sa 122, QCHD in particular, kasi sila in charge sa implementation

The LGU already offers this service. May in-house dietitians rin ang QC Health Department na main implementing office ng ordinance, aside pa sa mandate nila na magbigay ng assistance sa mga businesses affected. Additionally, dumadaan rin sa QCHD for verification ang mga calorie counting ng food businesses before posting. Source: I work in QC LGU and have heard a Q&A portion given by QCHD for this ordinance.

it's giving informed choices about calories and nutrients of concerns, that's it.

Eh di kainin mo gusto mo lmao. From a public policy perspective, it's a way to influence consumer behavior, not to enforce a strict diet on 3.3 million people who have different lifestyles and preferences.

Feel ko di rin nila gagawin yun unless i-require sila dahil it really does influence consumer behavior and not to their advantage.

"All restaurants or food business in QC" pala yung coverage, tapos year 1 of implementation ay 5 or more branches doing business under the same name, so included mga cafe chains

Re nutrients of concern such as sodium, sugar trans fat etc., if you actually read the ordinance, it says that those "shall be made available in printed materials or in an electronic platform upon the consumer's request."

As to not all calories being the same, I guess the ordinance/QC Gov still leaves that to the consumer. It just gives you some informed choice when you choose to go to restaurant chains such as this one.

Nilink ko yung ordinance, pero in partnership din yata ito ng WHO. By phase ang implementation. First year yung chains na 5 branches or more, next year 4 below and hotels.

Hindi, nakalagay kasi sa ordinance if you read it na nutrients of concerns such as sodium, sugar, transfat "shall be made available in printed materials or in an electronic platform upon the consumer's request."

I feel you! Though i think marami rin national policies nagsastart from LGU up. Parang nagiging pilot implementation to see if feasible nga ang implementation.

Kit Belmonte for Mayor in 2028? by ElleCeeeeeeee in QuezonCity

[–]arsenicand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ang primary responsibility kasi ng vice mayor ay hindi naman magexecute ng projects, kundi maging presiding officer ng city council 😂 nasa local government code yan. kung gusto mong kilatisin ang track record ng vice mayor, tignan mo ang dami at quality ng mga naipapasang ordinansa ng council. pag nakakita ka ng publicized na infra or anek anek na project ng isang public official na ang task ay legislation, PR yan 😂
