On behalf of our beloved Mayor, Jensen F. Viray Ventenilla, who continues the meaningful project started by our former beloved Mayor, Ramil Ventenilla, the “Palit Basura” program continues to serve as a symbol of unity, responsibility, and care for our environment. This initiative allows recyclable materials exchanged by our fellow citizens of Mangatarem to be transformed into useful and valuable products through the efforts of MENRO Mangatarem, proving that what others may consider waste can still become something beneficial.
Under the leadership of MENRO Designate, Engr. Jessie N. Sacopla, we extend our heartfelt appreciation and sincerest gratitude to the Brgy. Council and SK Council of Barangay Torre 1st, Barangay Torre 2nd, and Brgy. Dorongan Ketaket, and to everyone who actively joined, supported, and united with us in this meaningful program. Your participation is more than just helping collect waste—it is a commitment to creating a cleaner environment and a brighter future for the next generation.
We encourage everyone to continue participating and inspire more people to become part of this movement. Let us remember that no effort is too small when it comes to protecting our environment. Every bottle collected, every recyclable item exchanged, and every helping hand offered creates a positive impact on our community. Together, we are not only reducing waste—we are building hope, strengthening unity, and creating a healthier and greener Mangatarem for all.
Let us continue to work hand in hand because real change begins with people who care and choose to take action. Keep inspiring others, keep supporting environmental programs, and keep making a difference. Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat!
