September 18-25 declared as Clean-up the World Drive Week in Bacolod

   In a meeting held last week among representatives of the Department of Education, colleges and universities in the city and Bacolod City Government, September 18-25, 2004 was declared “Bacolod Clean-up the World Drive Week”.
     Those whoa attended the meeting were: Mayor Evelio Leonardia, Department of Public Services Head Allan Perez, Chairperson of Task Force Clean and Green Engineer Elma Advincula and Clean-up Bacolod Drive Committee Head and Liaison/Coordinator Atty. Ceasar Distrito.
     Barangays, City Employees and NGO’s will be tapped in a synchronized clean-up activity on Saturday, September 25 that will start 6:00 AM in all major streets of the city. Business establishments and private residents will also be tapped to participate in the activity.
     This mass clean-up aims to educate and remind our residents about sanitation, Environment Protection and Healthy Living. The drive also hopes to make young people aware that cleanliness and environment protection is not the sole responsibility of government but also of all citizens.
     Schools were also assigned to adopt areas where sanitation will be their responsibility. The list of private and public schools participating in the drive will be published tomorrow.
     The Mayor appealed to the public for the support in this endeavor considering that the city is faced with a gigantic problem on garbage. “Let us help and participate in amking Bacolod the cleanest and greenest city once again”, the city mayor said. * (CMO-PIO/eljt)
