Nine barangay awardees were conferred in the 2021 Barangay Environmental Compliance Audit (BECA) provincial awarding ceremony on November 22, 2021 via Zoom.
The online activity, initiated by DILG Bataan is the first BECA recognition conducted in the province, following the results of the recently-held provincial assessment.
BECA is developed to recognize and assess the compliance of barangays to the pertinent provisions of RA 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.
