MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Dec 9 (PIA) -- As the local government of Bontoc passed a resolution declaring the municipality an organic municipality, all of the other 40 barangays of the municipality are following suit.
MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, December 12 (PIA8) -- Some 500 day care workers based in Southern Leyte will join the signature campaign in support of the passing of the Magna Carta for Day Care Workers.
After the study visit in Bacolod City, the Sangguniang Panglungsod (SP) of Bontoc finally decided to go organic as a municipality. Thus paving the way for local officials to set aside a budget for organic-related projects and activities, SP member Benjie Goda, who is the chairperson on SP Committees on Appropriations and Solid Waste Management revealed.
During the quarterly meeting held at the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) today, the federation of day care workers’ presidents in 18 municipalities and the city of Maasin have affixed their signatures in support of the campaign for the said magna carta, Southern Leyte Federation President Marivic Amparo revealed.
The municipality will produce organic products down to the barangay level according to SP Goda. Each of the barangays were provided with machines such as shredders and digesters to help them come up with organic products.
According to Amparo, among the benefits they expect from the magna carta are the incentives from the national social welfare and development office particularly for those day care workers who have served at least 5 years and those who are conducting two sessions everyday.
One of the major organic products they have started to produce were organic fertilizers and feeds particularly with the introduction of the technologies like vermiculture, he said.
While most of the day care workers are paid by their respective barangays for their services at P1,000 per month only, Amparo reported that the day care workers in their municipality in Libagon, Southern Leyte were all absorbed as regular workers in the municipal government.
Goda further disclosed that the local government also plans to establish an organic market, where all of the produce from the barangays will be accommodated.
She hoped to bring the completed signature campaign support documents in time for the last reading by the House committee scheduled at Davao City on May 2012.
It was learned that with the utilization of the wastes through inaerobic technology, which was introduced by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) resulted to the reduction of the cost of feeds in the locality by 8 to 20 per cent, DOST provincial director Engr. Dominador Clavejo reported.
Meanwhile, the federation also is coming up with a resolution seeking the intervention of Provincial Governor Damian G. Mercado to discontinue the practice of changing day care workers whenever there is a change of leadership in the barangays. (PIA SoLeyte/esg)
Bontoc Credit Cooperative, Inc. ( BCCI), the biggest producer of feeds in the province, is now one of the advocates of producing organic feeds, Goda added. ### (PIA SoLeyte/esg)
