STREET SIGNAGE

In the market place.........

Courtesy call with the Municipal Mayor, Hon. Manuel B. Brillantes and the Municipal Administrator, Dr. Sarah Tanghian

   The Municipality of Monkayo is strictly implementing the Proper Solid Waste Disposal in view of the memorandum order no.147 and 156 of CY 2011 issued by the  Hon.Mayor  Manuel B. Brillantes.  It ordered that everyone must have the three segregated receptacles such as BIODEGRADABLE,RESIDUAL and RECYCLABLES with cover and label it properly.

     This is in preparation for the upcoming PROVINCIAL and NATIONAL EVALUATION ON SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT MONTH  at the end of OCTOBER 2011 and it also encourages everyone to revisit the implementation of 5 S in order to ensure the best practices in segregating the garbage. Signage are found along the streets, in market place and other strategic places for everybody to see and to follow.

     Monkayo National High School supports the memorandum because the school also is applying the Proper Waste Disposal as well as the R.A. 9003 and constantly reminding us—students that we should always make our school clean and garbage free with proper segregation. To be able for students to be constantly reminded of this practice, signage can be seen in bulletin boards of their classrooms. The WOW club (War On Wastes) organize the daily "Basura Patrollers" who were responsible for picking up , following up the cleanliness of the school surroundings with the assistance of the YES-O , PSYSC and Rain Watchers Clubs. Everyone is also practicing the rule" BASURA MO, IBULSA MO" so that littering can be avoided.
