CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Jan.18 (PIA) -- A total of 150 teachers from different public schools of Oriental province attended a three-day training workshop on basic skills in community organizing.
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Jan. 19 (PIA) -- The city government strengthened its non-plastic day project by strictly implementing the ordinance which penalizes violators, said City Mayor Doy C. Leachon yesterday.
The Department of Education (DepEd) funded the workshop entitled “Programang Pang-edukasyon sa Kalibliban (PPSKA).
It will be recalled that last year, Calapeños were prohibited to use non-biodegradable plastic from Fridays to Sundays. Leachon said that instead of three days, the No-Plastic Day will now be implemented everyday throughout the year.
The teachers were oriented to various aspects of community organizing to become change agents under the PPSKa program of the provincial government.
Leachon said most plastic bags eventually find their way into the waterways, parks, beaches and streets. On the other hand, if they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes that are harmful to humans.
Gov. Alfonso V. Umali, Jr. encouraged the teachers to continue their partnership with the provincial government in the implementation of projects in the different municipalities of the province.
Thus, the city government prohibited the use of non-biodegradable plastics. (PIO/Louie T. Cueto/PIA/ MimaropaIVB)
It will be recalled that under the program, which started in 2002, there are 371 former PPSKa teachers given permanent positions by DepEd. (DOS/Louie T. Cueto/PIA-4B/Or.Mindoro)
