Town's waste management program launched Monday
Hundreds of residents will flock to the Municipal Hall grounds here Monday to welcome the launching of the town's "zero waste management" program.
Mayor Leocadio C. de Vera said all sectors in this town would be involved in the project "to make the program workable and achieve a level of making this municipality a clean place to live in."
"In the implementation of the program, there shall be no fees to be charged, whatsoever, to people concerned, whose cooperation is needed to make this cleanliness campaign successful," said de Vera.
The educators group has already initiated advocacy for the project by launching ecological management at the Pangasinan State University (PSU) compound last Saturday.
Student-performers of the PSU staged various presentations to accentuate the importance of ecological and waste management in the community.
De Vera said the "zero waste management" program is in line with President Arroyo's desire of keeping the country clean in accordance with Anti-Littering Law or Republic Act 9003.
He disclosed that to make that the law is enforced, the mayor has initiated the holding of a weekly symposium on the matter.
"We have started the forum as early as December last year to allow every barangay head to share his or her ideas on maintaining cleanliness in their respective community," de Vera said.
In line with this, Municipal Councilor Crisostomo Bato authored a resolution containing the necessary penalty for violators of the provisions of the "zero waste management" program.
Under the proposed resolution, violators who were caught for the first offense would be detained within six hours aside from he or she would be required to pay a penalty of P200 or to render four hours of community service.
For the second offense, violators would be asked to pay a penalty of P300 or suffer imprisonment of not more than two days, or both as the local court deems necessary.
Those who could not afford to pay the penalty would be asked to render eight hours of community service.
Offenders who may be caught for the third time would be asked to pay penalty charge of P1,000 or suffer imprisonment of a maximum of two months, or both the court deems necessary.
Those who could not afford to pay the penalty would be asked to render 32 hours of community service within four days. (Sun.Star Pangasinan Daily, Feb. 14, 2005)
