WHEREAS, the municipality, through the Sangguniang Bayan, in the exercise of its police power and for the promotion of the general welfare of the municipality and safeguarding public morals, noted that these practices mentioned in the next preceding paragraph ought to be stopped because instead of promoting civic consciousness among the townspeople, especially the youth, tend to be encouraged to indulge in gambling, a vice which is a menace to the community, aside from making people lazy and squander precious time;
WHEREFORE, on motion of the Honorable Councilor Martillano, jointly seconded by Councilors Esplanada, Acero, Sudario and Relatorres
