SORSOGON CITY, Nov. 6 (PIA) – The local government units (LGUs) of Bulan, Casiguran and Sta. Magdalena won the top awards in the 2015 Search for Cleanest and Greenest localities to promote protection, conservation and management of the environment.
The Gawad Gobernador sa Kapaligiran was presented to the winners during the closing program of Kasanggayahan Festival at the Provincial Gymnasium in Sorsogon City last Oct. 26.
The search was organized by the Provincial Solid Waste Management Board (PSWB) and the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) in line with the provincial government’s commitment to promote protection, conservation and management of the environment.
The PSWB and PENRO said the award was a testament not only to the LGUs’ excellent performance in the implementation of Sorsogon’s programs on Clean and Green and Climate Change Adaptation but also in the leadership of their mayors: Mayor Marnellie B. Robles of Bulan, Mayor Ma. Ester B. Hamor of Casiguran, and Mayor Alejandro B. Gamos of Sta. Magdalena.
Each winner received a solar panel system that can generate at least 1,000 watts of elecricity and a certificate of commendation.
The award-giving body said Bulan’s “serious commitment” in the “massive” information drive on environmental conservation, protection and management enabled the LGU to comply with the mandate decreed by the environmental laws.
Apart from the three, the city government of Sorsogon received a “special award” for its “remarkable concern” in the promotion of a healthy environment. The city under the helm of Mayor Sally A. Lee has maintained an operational Class AAA slaughterhouse and a functional waste water treatment facility for its public market.
Barangay Tugos in Sorsogon City was adjudged the best barangay supportive of the province’s Clean and Green and Climate Change Adaptation programs.
Tugos and the city received a solar panel system that can generate at least 500 watts of elecricity and a certificate of recognition.
Aside from being declared as the cleanest and greenest LGU for Category A, Bulan also received a special award for the “impressive formulation” of information and education campaign (IEC) materials.
Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer Maribeth L. Fruto said they employed the search as a monitoring strategy of the PSWMB to recognize the accomplishments of Sorsogon’s lone city and 14 municipalities in terms of protection, conservation and management of the environment.
Among the areas evaluated were public markets, public terminals, public plazas and parks, barangays with community gardens, municipal nurseries, managed watershed areas, roadside beautification, central material recovery facilities and support systems.
Composing the judges were PENRO, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of the Interior and Local Government, Office of the Provincial Agriculturist, Provincial Tourism Office, Provincial Health Office, Provincial Planning and Development Office, Sorsogon Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, Department of Public Works and Highways, Provincial Engineering Office and Philippine Information Agency.
