+BULACAO, Oriental Mindoro, Feb. 14 (PIA) -- The local municipal government of Bulacao, Oriental Mindoro has enacted a special ordinance dubbed as Synchronized Deworming which required all elementary public schools to conduct regular deworming twice a year.
-For the betterment of the city of Calapan in Oriental Mindoro, the administration of Mayor Paulino C. Leachon is promoting the ‘Ang Bagong Calapan’ project to deliver various programs in the city.
-In an interview with the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), Leachon said he has discovered that problems on education, health, job generation, housing and humanity remain after the term of administration.
-The ‘Ang Bagong Calapan’ project has different components that include “Kapag Disiplinado Aasenso Program (KDAP),” “Nagkakaisang Calapeno,” “Maligayang Pamumuhay ang Ipagmalaki mo,” “Calapeno Ako.” Programs under each component are already being implemented by the city government.
-One example is the ‘Mapagkalingang Pamahalaan’ which addresses the needs of the populace.
-For informal settlers about 300 families have been relocated in Lumangbayan and barangay Bulalo. Under the ‘Nego Kart’ program, the poor are being taught business skills.
-The city government is now installing CCTV cameras in strategic areas like the public market to monitor daily activities.
-A total plastic ban is being implemented everyday in accordance to the “Green Calapan” program.
-The Calapan Recreational and Zoological Park located in barangay Bulusan will have complete facilities before it opens in April.
-The ‘Wish ko kay Mayor Doy Balik Tanaw’ is a program where city constituents make a wish to the mayor. Leachon said that he immediately answers small problems while bigger issues are put together and addressed.
+The ordinance was initiated by the Municipality Advisory Committee (MAC). During the implementation period, the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries will also be monitored, as it signifies the implementer's compliance on deworming. Under the 4Ps of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), local government implementers are required to conduct a deworming activity twice a year for children aged six to 14 years old, as set by the program’s condition on health programs.
-Leachon wants his constituents to see the gifts from the government as an inspiration for them to work harder to improve their lives and not just depend on the government.
+Bulacao, Oriental Mindoro happens to have the highest rate on malnutrition among children in Mimaropa, so the ordinance was conceived to help eradicate malnutrition cases in the municipality. This ordinance was declared to promote sanitation, hygiene and principally the general health of children who need special care and support from the government. A special composite committee known as Committee on Synchronized Deworming was also created to administer, supervise and monitor all deworming activities in the municipality.
-To achieve the Seal of Good Housekeeping, Leachon said that all the best practices in good governance like participation, rule of law, responsiveness, effectiveness and efficiency, consensus oriented, accountability and transparency have to be done.
+The Municipal Health Office serves as the chairman of the committee, in cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd) and Pantawid Pamilya Municipal Links.
-The city is three-time ISO certified. To maintain it, the city needs to have constant monitoring and internal audit, he said. (LBR/LTC/CNS/PIA MIMAROPA)
+The municipal local government has committed to sustain the deworming program even beyond the 5-year program implementation of the 4Ps. (LBR/PIA4B)
