Peter Laviña Council Votes: Ban beauty contests?

Ban beauty contests?

One interesting, nay controversial, item in today's 1st reading is the proposal of Councilor Angela Librado-Trinidad, chair of the Committee on Women, Children & Family Relations, "Prohibiting the holding of beauty contests in Davao City."

Regulate yes, but "prohibit?"

Hmm. I don't think I'm ready to support this measure.
