Solar Street Lights Illuminate Gingoog’s Urban Areas

Gingoog City continues to shine brighter as several urban barangays benefit from the Solar Street Lights Project, a key initiative aimed at enhancing public safety and improving nighttime visibility across communities.

Barangays 17, 18-A, 20, 22-A, 24, and 25 are among the latest recipients of the solar-powered lighting systems. The installation of these street lights marks a significant step toward creating safer and more secure public spaces, particularly during nighttime when visibility is most critical.

Aligned with the Local Government Unit’s “A Brighter Gingoog” program, the project underscores the city’s commitment to sustainable and people-centered development. By utilizing solar energy, the initiative not only reduces electricity costs but also promotes environmentally responsible solutions for urban infrastructure.

Gingoog’s LPMC Underscores the Importance of NbS in Addressing DENR-Reported Minor Soil Erosion in SLF

The Local Project Monitoring Committee (LPMC) of Gingoog City emphasized the importance of adopting Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in response to the reported minor soil erosion in the city’s Sanitary Landfill (SLF), as earlier noted by the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Following the report, members of the City Project Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (CPMEC), acting under the LPMC framework, conducted a site visit to the Gingoog City Sanitary Landfill to validate the actual conditions on the ground. The inspection aimed to assess the extent of the reported concern and determine the appropriate measures to ensure the long-term environmental stability of the facility.

Based on the committee’s initial investigation to local residents and operators, there were no recorded recent soil erosion incidents observed in the area during the validation. Nevertheless, the CPMEC acknowledged the report of the DENR as an important precautionary reference in safeguarding the landfill from potential environmental risks in the future, mindful as well of their recommendations for structural and engineering approach, with the considerations of NbS approach.

As a proactive measure, the committee recommended the immediate implementation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to strengthen soil stability within the landfill site. Specifically, the CPMEC proposed the planting of Banyan trees around the perimeter of the SLF, which are known for their extensive root systems that help bind soil and reduce the risk of erosion.
