Province of Bulacan - Archived News

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:

The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

MALOLOS CITY, Bulacan — Provincial officials will implement a massive tree-planting program for the Sierra Madre mountain range in the eastern side of Bulacan that will be in conjunction with a project to rehabilitate the heavily-polluted Marilao-Meycauayan-Obando river system.

This was revealed yesterday by Governor Wilhelmino M. Sy Alvarado after meeting Wednesday night with officials of different government agencies and the New York-based environmental watchdog Blacksmith Institute.

The Blacksmith Institute team headed by John Kieth, Jim Darling, Dr. Robert Kurkjian and BI country coordinator Jenny Amparo are still holding consultative meetings with local government units and stakeholders at the Hiyas ng Bulacan Convention Center, here.

Alvarado said that the provincial government is now coordinating with Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Ramon Paje and officials of the Manila Water and Sewerage System.

The program will center on planting trees to save the rainforest cover of the Sierra Madre particularly at the watershed areas of Angat and Ipo dams.

During the meeting, Alvarado told the Blacksmith team that plans are underway for the dredging of the MMO river system, as well as the planting hundreds of thousands of mangroves along the said rivers, which the Blacksmith Institute has branded as among the 30 mostdirtiest rivers in the world.

He said that the provincial government is also coordinating with the mayors of Caloocan City and Valenzuela city in the cleaning of the river system since most pollutants came from industries in those cities.

“We are not playing politics here. Everybody, especially the communities in the said areas, must help in cleaning the rivers, “ Alvarado said.

The Blacksmith team said that their role is to initiate proposals and technical solutions that’s why they are conducting the consultative discussion.

“Everything goes down to the river. For the dredging to be successful we must stop the source of the pollution,” said John Kieth of the Blacksmith Institute.

The governor said that the negative image of the rivers should be erased because investors are now looking north of Metro Manila and they can’t promote the province unless the bad image will be erased.
