A Brief Profile of Barangay 885
Tuesday, March 27, 2012


Aside from Police Station No. 6 and St. Francis School, Barangay 885 is proud to have within our area most of the historical and heritage sites of Santa Ana such as the Parish Church of Our Lady of the Abandoned, The Taoist Temple and the miraculous well- Our Lady of the Well all of which dates back for more than a century.
This small community is mostly made up of a majority of middle class families generating most of their income from various public and private employments, small scale business enterprises, professional practices and skills.
Among the various projects offered to our constituents are declogging, beautification, clean and green, solid waste management, sports activities and fitness programs, medical, dental and optical missions, distribution of school supplies, disaster preparedness, livelihood and poverty alleviation trainings, gift-giving, feeding programs, preservation of peace and order, anti-drug campaign programs and more.
Our revenue comes from commercial and business establishments in our area plus taxes derived from real-estate properties. Barangay 885 has a total budget allocation of P 1, 056, 148.14 for the year 2011.

Solid Waste Management to be enforced soon
Thursday, July 14, 2011
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.

She's now a registered voter
Friday, August 27, 2010





I accompanied my 17 year-old Reyna Bianca (Queenie) to register and have her exercise her right to vote in the SK Election in case it pushes through this October 25th 2010. It took us almost an hour lining up - from getting the form and having them check the requirements (Birth certificate and School I.D.) of the applicants, filling up the form and getting a number to line up for the final check and verification before a stub certifying the completion of the registration.

The Latest On Barangay & SK Elections
Saturday, August 14, 2010
President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III wants the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections to push through in October despite several proposals to abolish or postpone it, Malacañang said Wednesday.
"The preference of the President is for the barangay elections to go through in October. The reason behind this is we'd like to synchronize the elections in 2013," presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda told Palace reporters.
However, Aquino wants the SK — which is composed of one chairman and seven councilors — to be restructured to have just one representative, Lacierda said, adding that Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo has drafted a bill calling for such setup.
Likewise, Robredo's bill pushes for barangay and SK officials' three-year terms to be cut short by five months so the elections of these officials will be synchronized with the mid-term national and local elections in May 2013.
The bill will be filed by Aquino's allies in Congress and will be prioritized to ensure that it will be passed before the barangay and SK elections on October 25, Lacierda said.
"The whole idea here is to save costs," said Lacierda, adding that the government can save at least P800 million if the 2013 barangay elections were held simultaneously with the election of senators and local officials in May 2013.
Unnecessary expenses?
Malacañang issued the statement after Vice President Jejomar Binay said barangay and SK elections should be abolished because they add unnecessary expenses for the government.
Proposals to postpone the polls are currently pending in Congress. At the Senate, Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri filed Senate Bill No. 60 which seeks to move the October 2010 elections to October 2012.
In the House of Representatives, House Minority Leader and Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman filed a bill that would move the said elections to 2012, saying the postponement will save a lot of money that can be spent on priority government projects.
But the Commission on Elections is urging Congress not to pass proposals to abolish the said elections, taking into consideration the high turnout during the first day of registration for the barangay and SK.
"We urge members of Congress to visit Comelec registration centers in their respective districts so that they can have a feel of what their constituents really want regarding the upcoming polls," said Comelec spokesman James Jimenez.
The registration period for the barangay polls began on August 4 and will end on August 13. The list-up for the SK elections, meanwhile, began on August 6 and will last until August 15. — RSJ/KBK, GMANews.TV

Annual LAKBAY ARAL PROGRAM (Batch 3)
Friday, July 23, 2010
I've been to Cebu City which is considered as one of the prime Cities of the Philippines thrice but the feeling of excitement is still up. Aside from the many beautiful spots around, the grandeur of the Waterfront Hotel, the yummy lechon Cebu, the camaraderie among fellow Chairmen and of course the added knowledge to learn from the Seminar but most of all the chance to see my brother's family and his newborn baby girl Merianela adds up to this exciting trip. Well surely I won't forget my ever reliable and handy Canon camera to document all the activities and my new Laptop as well. I hope the weather will be fine too.
