Subsequent to the launching of the SubayBAYAN or Subaybayan ang Proyekto ng Bayan, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)- Zambales capacitated the LGU SubayBAYAN Focal Persons in navigating the system during the conduct of the Provincial Roll-Out and Orientation on the SubayBAYAN Project Monitoring and Reporting System. It was held on October 29, 2018 at Polytechnic College of Botolan (PCB), Botolan, Zambales.

It aims to fully orient and train all the SubayBAYAN Focal Persons in the various stages of data processing of the SubayBAYAN. The SubayBAYAN serves as the official platform of the DILG in the monitoring and reporting on the progress of implementation of all Locally-Funded Projects (LFPs) administered by the department.
Cluster Team Leader- LGOO VII Melissa D. Nipal of DILG Zambales and LGOO III Maria Clarissa Dimatulac of DILG Olongapo discussed the overview and the implementing guidelines of the SubayBAYAN. Furthermore, ADAS II Paulin Johanne L. Reyes of DILG Zambales facilitated the hands-on training on the SubayBAYAN Monitoring and Reporting System.
Moreover, a total of 89 projects of the province of Zambales are registered in the SubayBAYAN. With this one-stop-shop monitoring system on the DILG-initiated projects, the department hopes that LGUs will be able to boost their efforts to fast-track their project implementation and strengthen their transparency in local governance.

With the common goal of collecting trash littering our coastline and waterways, the DILG Zambales Team took part in the observance of the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day 2018 last September 22, 2018 in Iba, Zambales. The team once again joined the thousands of volunteers in the world’s largest effort to remove trash from the shores to reduce the impacts of marine debris which contributes to pollution problems that affects the wildlife, human health and local economies.
Supported by the Executive Order No. 42 issued by Governor Amor D. Deloso on Establishing the 3rd Saturday of the month of September of every year as Zambales Coastal Clean-up Day and Dedication of the 16th day of September 2017 for the Launching of ZambaLinis, the annual event was participated by government officials and employees from the national, provincial, and municipal government offices, barangay officials, students from private and public schools including colleges and universities, CSOs, NGOs and beach owners in the Province of Zambales.
Volunteers gathered on their respective clean-up sites to remove all kinds of trash found along seashores, coastlines, rivers, creeks, drainages and canals in the entire province. Garbage and trash containing non-biodegradable and other materials such as plastics, glass and metals were collected and placed on numerous sacks. Collected trashes were then recorded on the ICC data cards provided to volunteers.
