LIMAY, Bataan- To boost the town’s clean and green program, Mayor Ver Roque Wednesday launched the Youth Environmental Congress, to solicit the support of the youth for Limay’s environmental program. | |||
Noted for his pro-environment program, Roque said the main objective of the congress is to rehabilitate the coastal areas, declog rivers and drainage system. | |||
Roque pointed out that this will also help improve the municipal waste-management program and educate the residents to be more involved in caring for the environment especially in the proper segregation and disposal of garbage and wastes. | |||
He said this will also counter vandalism especially in the use of public utilities like comfort rooms, buses, school chairs and tables, walls, and fences. | |||
The mayor also called the strict implementation of laws and municipal ordinances in line with environmental protection and preservation. | |||
Limay is an industrialized town, hosting Petron Refinery, DND Arsenal, Petrochemical Plant, Carbon factory, among others. | |||
In compliance with the directive of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Roque initiated the massive clean up along the coastal areas which is part of the sprawling Manila Bay area. | |||
But even without the DILG order directing local government units to launch such action, Roque and the personnel of the municipal hall have been regularly conducting clean up drive along the coastal areas here to maintain the clean environment of this town being the site of various multinational companies. | |||
Thelma Ratonel, officer in charge of Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO) and head of the Civil Registrar, said that since the assumption of Roque they have been conducting massive clean up not only along the Manila Bay areas but also along the major rivers, river banks, industrial sites, factories, commercial establishments and private homes to ensure a clean and safe environment, free from sea and air pollution. | |||
