Solid Waste Management to be enforced soon
We’re almost ready to enforce R.A. 9003 “The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000”.
As early as 2009, Solid Waste Management has been introduced specifically to the six (6) Barangays of Santa Ana through the efforts of the Solid waste management association of the Philippines (SWAPP). SWAPP is a non-profit membership organization composed of solid waste practitioners from Local Government Units, National Government Agencies, Non Government Organizations, and the Academe. Their mission is to build the capacity of LGUs, communities, and private sector to manage solid waste problems in their respective areas through research, trainings, technical assistance, information, exchanges, and network building.

However, from such time on many activities came up until last April this year when the ball started rolling again. Series of meetings, planning, workshops and study tours had been done so we can enforce the law. Thanks also to the mandamus from the Supreme Court to the deadline set for enforcement. Actual steps done in our Barangay:
A Committee on Solid Waste Management was formed.
Plans had been set-up on how to go about this project.
Education and Information Program to build community awareness through meetings set with the constituents of this Barangay, Memorandums and Letters of Memorandum.
An MRF (Material Recovery Facility) site has been built in front of JagPhil at New Panaderos.
A Barangay Ordinance was drafted and approved by the Barangay Council.
Full enforcement started August 15, 2011.

Invites here and there
Saturday, July 9, 2011
Invitations keep pouring in! I just cannot give in to all of them. Socials and civic functions, birthdays, weddings and even advance graduation invitations are already at hand. There are several times when I just cannot attend all the invites from personal friends because of official mandatory functions and activities from the City Government that you cannot refuse since they are all part of my job as Barangay Official or Community Head.

More than a Century Old piece of furniture called “Kupitre”
My husband Rey was one of his grandpa’s favorite “apo” (grandkid) and since the time we got married more than 30 years ago, he always tells fond memories of his “lolo” (grandpa). He even kept some memorabillas of him. A couple of weeks ago, I was strucked by this piece of furniture I saw in our garage being varnished by our stay-in carpenter and asked who owns it. He said it was Rey’s. Then I knew that it came from his uncle’s home who got it from their ancestral home in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija their hometown. Upon knowing that Rey wanted it, his uncle sent this “kupitre” to him. And as expected, he has a childhood story (with his lolo) to tell about this kupitre. He also said that according to his mom, before his grandpa was born in 1889, this was already in existence.What’s so nice about this is that when Rey knew that I really wanted this, he told me it's mine. Wow!
