Caloocan Cleans Up The Neighborhood

In a bit of good news, the Caloocan City council has approved an ordinance which bans nightclubs, beer houses, karaoke bars and other similar establishments from plying their wares within a 100-meter radius from institutions like hospitals, schools and churches.  Penned by Councilor Alen Aruelo, this ordinance bodes well for the welfare of Caloocan residents, and ultimately the image of the city, itself.  This also has the nice side-effect of uplifting the value of properties nearby said institutions.

I wonder if Caloocan's zoning laws were even followed, and how those "other" establishments were allowed to setup shop in the first place.  Funny how our government seems to be running around trying to chase its tail.  Let's hope they all get their acts together soon.
