I think this is beyond the taxing power of the City.
R.A. 7160 - AN ACT PROVIDING FOR A LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991BOOK II
LOCAL TAXATION AND FISCAL MATTERS
TITLE I
LOCAL GOVERNMENT TAXATION
CHAPTER I
General Provisions
Section 130. Fundamental Principles. - The following fundamental principles shall govern the exercise of the taxing and other revenue-raising powers of local government units:
(a) Taxation shall be uniform in each local government unit;
(b) Taxes, fees, charges and other impositions shall:
(1) be equitable and based as far as practicable on the taxpayer's ability to pay;
(2) be levied and collected only for public purposes;
(3) not be unjust, excessive, oppressive, or confiscatory;
(4) not be contrary to law, public policy, national economic policy, or in the restraint of trade;
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Think of it this way;
Who is being taxed, the establishment or the people inside the establishment?
I say the People, cause the tax is being passed down to the people.
Can a local government unit tax a person for standing on public road?
No.
It's the same thing as being in a bar at 10pm or on the side of the road at eight in the morning. No LGU can tax a person for being in a place at a time specified.

Sorry, not a tax payer of Cebu City.
I can't do anything for you people.
