DO NOT PATRONIZE. Davao City Business Bureau Officer-in-charge, Atty. Marissa Torrentera describes butane gas canisters as “very thin” compared to the welded steel cylinders where liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is stored. In the I-Speak press conference held at the City Engineer’s Office on Thursday, July 13, Torrentera called on the public to not patronize the buying and use of refilled butane gas canisters because of the danger it poses.
About 4,000 refilled butane gas canisters were confiscated in June alone by the multi-agency task force in the city, an official said.
