Urdaneta City Hall Annex now open

URDANETA CITY- The newly constructed annex building of the Old City Hall here was formally opened on February 13 and will house the offices of the Local Civil Registrar (LCR) and the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD).
Mayor Amadeo Gregorio “Bobom” E. Perez IV said the building was constructed at a cost of P4 million to house offices or departments that are rendering basic services to the city folks.
“I may call it the People’s Building to be accessible to the people needing immediate services. It will be impractical for them to go to the New City Hall in Anonas because of additional transportation costs,” Perez said.
He said it has always been his desire to make the city services accessible to the city’s constituents.
Because of his service oriented governance, Perez has also institutionalized the “mobile service” in which various departments are deployed in barangays to render services closer to the city people.
“We are conducting ‘mobile services’once a month . This way, those who cannot afford to come to the city hall will be served in their own barangays,” he said.
Meanwhile, Perez said they are expecting more businessmen to secure their permits before the extension ends last January 31.
“In spite of the economic crisis, we are hopeful to have higher collections this year. The turn over of those securing permits have increased,” he said.

BYOB - Bring your own bag when shopping in Urdaneta City

GOING GREENER
URDANETA CITY—After opening the first engineered sanitary landfill in the province, this city is bent on further improving waste management by implementing a “Bring Your Own Bag” (BYOB) program to minimize, if not eliminate, the use of plastic bags.
The city council has passed an ordinance on the program, which is now under review by the provincial board.

The ordinance, jointly authored by Councilors Mark Joseph Andrada, Blesildo Sumera and Jennylin Sison, states that “plastic bags are rampantly used as packaging materials here and elsewhere”, and needs to be limited through the promotion of alternative packaging materials that are environment-friendly.
The ordinance also points out that plastic bags and polystyrene plastics (styrofoam), being non-biodegradable materials, clog the city’s canals, creek, rivers and other waterways.
The councilors who authored the ordinance said despite serious effort of the city to segregate compostable and recyclable waste materials, these plastics and other similar materials remain in the waste stream.
With the BYOB campaign, the councilors said the city will hopefully be able to reduce its high operating and maintenance costs on waste management.
The city government encourages the use of bayong (woven bags), katsa (cloth bags), paper bags and other natural materials like banana and taro leaves under the BYOB program.
Once implemented, penalties will range from P500, P2,000 and P5,000 for the first, second and third offenses, respectively.—Eva Visperas
