By

Itay nabiit, nakakitakam man dita sentro ti Laoag ti maysa a kurong-kurong a nagkarga ti hamburger buns, maysa a klase ti tinapay. Kinagpaysuananna, napno ti sidecarna kadagitoy a makan. Ti dakesna, awan abbong wenno umno a proteksyon dagitoy a tinapay manipud iti tapok, rugit ken asuk. Sa pay laeng tay akinrabaw a buns, pinarabawanda ti naangdod a sweatshirt. Dikam la ngamin nakaala ti gundaway a mangpicture. Siasinno ngata ti pakaideliveran wenno pakailakuan dagitoy? Kadagiti maseknan nga agar-aramid ken agang-angkat kadagitoy a makan, makonsensya kay koma met. Ipapauneg dagita dagiti agtaltalek a customersyo. Sapay koma ta adda aramiden ti ciudad tapno masierto a nadalus dagiti mailaklako a makan ditoy lugartayo.

No obserbarenyo a nasayaat dagiti de-sarming a food display stand dagiti aglaklako ti taraon ditoy ciudad ti Laoag, adu dagiti makitayo nga agsikaw-sikaw a ngilaw, bingraw pay no dadduma. Saan met ketdi nga isuda amin, ngem adu dagiti makitkitami a kasta ti sitwasyonna, nangnangruna dagiti panaderia ken karinderia. Saan ngamin nga umanay ti “Health ID” dagiti food handler a requirement ti ciudad. Masapul koma nga igetan ti ciudad ti pannakakita ti proseso ti pannakaaramid, pannakai-transport, pannakai-display ken pannakai-serbi dagiti mailaklako a makan. Narikut unay a proseso, mabalin a kunayo. Ngem salun-at ti pagsasaritaan, isu a saan a rumbeng a sinsinan ti maipakat a proteksion.

Malaksid iti pannaka-monitor a nasayaat dagitoy a food handler, adda koma pay regular a seminarda babaen iti city government. Masansan met nga adda dagitay iwaywayat ti ciudad a seminar seknan iti naduma-duma a banag. Sapay koma ta mangiwayatda met ti regular a pannakaiyadal kadagiti food handler ti umno a pannakaproteher ti salun-at dagiti customerda. Umad-adun dagiti tao nga um-umay ditoy Laoag, kas koma kadagiti turista ken dagiti estudiante. Isu a nayunan koma pay ti ciudad ti alibtakna a mangsalwad ti salun-at, saan koma a sitsitik ken paporma laeng.

Ngamin dagitoy a lugan ti mapan agideldeliver kadagiti produkto dita a pagtagilakuan. Pagbalinenda metten a product unloading area ken garahe dayta a pedestrian lane. Asideg ti simbaan ken dagiti eskwela dayta a lugar, rason a kasapulan unay dayta a pedestrian lane, nangnangruna dagiti senior citizen ken estudyante. Isu a saan koma a kunsintiren daytoy a supermarket dagiti anak ti diables a delivery truck a manggasaw-gasaw kadagiti paglintegan. No saan a mangiwayat ti aksyon daytoy a supermarket seknan iti daytoy, ipadanuntayo ti issue uray iti kangangatuan nga opisyal da! Ipakitatayo ti kinaawan ti panangiyalikaka daytoy nga establisemento kadagiti taga-ciudad ti Laoag!
