DAGUPAN CITY (PIA) – To promote responsible waste disposal, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) has hired personnel who will serve as “basura” patrollers.
Planning Officer Rose Carmelita Orduna of the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office said hired “basura” patrollers will monitor and report violations of Republic Act 9003, otherwise known as Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.
Orduna said these “basura” patrollers will patrol public places such as major thoroughfares, roads, sidewalks, canals and parks and see to it that cleanliness is in- placed among the local government units’ (LGUs) jurisdiction.
“These ‘basura’ patrollers will move around the LGUs to identify violators of RA 9003 that will be reported to the higher-ups,” she said during the Pantongtongan Tayo radio program of PIA-Pangasinan aired over DZMQ Radyo ng Bayan on Tuesday.
Orduna said that non-compliant LGUs will receive strike letters, adding that the Ombudsman will charge the LGUs who received three strike letters and have still not acted on the matter.
