Earlier today| DILG Aurora extends its support to Barangay Bazal, Maria Aurora, as this week's Regional Showcase Barangay for the conduct of weekly clean-up activity in support to the KALINISAN-BARKADA Program.
The clean-up activity saw the active participation of about 200 people composed of barangay officials, PNP, 4Ps, and residents who gathered in Bazal Covered Court for a short program prior the clean-up activity. MLGOO Amado V. Angara gave an overview of the KALINISAN program. Afterwards, PB Felilia H. Briones in her message, shared that Barangay Bazal have been steadfast in their commitment to a cleaner and greener environment even before the launching of the KALINISAN program.
Meanwhile, DILG Aurora Provincial Director Ener P. Cambronero, CESE, highlighted the importance of sustaining such iniatives in the barangays. "Sa barangay po nagsisimula ang makabuluhang pagbabago at napakalaki ng papel ng mga barangay upang maisakatuparan ang hangarin ng ating mga pinuno. Hinihikayat ko po ang lahat na patuloy na suportahan ang mga programa ng pamahalaan, lalo ang Kalinisan sa Bagong Pilipinas. Muli po nating buhayain ang kultura ng bayanihan!", he added.
PB Briones led the pledge of commitment, and accentuated that the clean-up activity is more than just picking up trash. She added that it was about instilling a sense of responsibility and serves as catalyst for ongoing efforts to promote environmental awareness, sustainable practices, and community involvement. The clean-up activity yielded 182 kls of waste materials from streets and floodways within the barangay.
The KALINISAN sa Bagong Pilipinas Program is a convergence initiative among public offices aimed at maintaining and providing a healthy and safe environment for all Filipinos by empowering local government units (LGUs) and enabling community participation. Similarly, the implementation of BARKADA program which enjoins all barangays to conduct weekly clean-up drives is now subsumed under the KALINISAN program.
