OTHER
ACTIVITIESREFORESTRATIONCITY – LESSONS LEARNED• The success and sustainability of solid waste management system
substantially depend on public and private sector acceptance, their supportand initiative, and finally, their full participation and commitment to thesystem.
• Consistent and Efficient implementation of the program ensures program
sustainability:– Fair and strict in implementing policies– Education and information activities must be sustained• High awareness of all stakeholders on the consequences of uncollectedgarbage to the health and the environment and the direct and indirect
benefits derived from a sound urban waste management system issignificantly contributing to growing success of the program.
• Support system must be established and sustained• Local Political Will
• Focus and Work continuouslyAs a Mayor to this humble city, I am
duty bound to protect the healthcondition of my constituents,
promote a wholesome environment
and protect the interest of the Local
economy at any cost. The LGU’s
resources could hardly meet the evergrowing demand of effectively andefficiently managing solid waste
collection and disposal. But withhard work, perseverance and thewillingness of every stakeholders tocooperate, we can make this happen
a possible dream.
To be effective solid
waste disposal program
require action at both household andCommunity levels. If only a few
households dispose of waste
properly, the community
environment may remain
dirty and contaminated. Community
members should decide how
important solid waste management
is and determine the best ways toachieve waste management goals.
Citizen’s participation is paramountin this undertaking. Garbage
segregation should start at home
and it must become a way of life.

The close coordination between the city government, National government
agencies and non-government organizations and the pooling of resources in support ofecological and solid Waste management program is of paramount significance in thesuccess of this endeavor.
Let me take this opportunity then to extend my gratefulappreciation to our partners, the DENR, private sector, the NGO’sand PO’s the business and religious sectors plus the professionals whothrew their support to the urban waste management Board and itstechnical working Group and to the staff of the City Planningand Development Coordinator; City Agriculture Office; City Environmental and Natural
Resources Office,DepED, DILG, Sangguniang Kabataan, Liga ng mga Barangay and most especially tothe people of the City of Cauayan Isabela.
Thank You very much!
And to all our friends in Asia a million thanks to all of you in giving us this opportunity
to share with you our activities in making this land a healthy and clean planet to live in.
