Jagna’s success story on Solid Waste Management (SWM) programs has reached another considerable height when Sangguniang Bayan (SB) Committee Chairman on Health and Sanitation and currently the Chairperson of Jagna ISWM-Technical Working Group Kag. Senen Lloren was invited as one of the resource speakers in the Orientation Workshop in Business Planning for Solid Waste Management at the Highlander Hotel in the Municipality of Bayombong, Nueva Vizacaya very recently.

Sponsored by the Philippine Environment Governance (EcoGov) Project 2 of the USAID the said activity which was well attended by the related department heads of the four component 1st class municipalities of Aritao, Solano, Cawayan and Bayombong was aimed at introducing the concept of enterprise management system (EMS).

The concept of the EMS in the implementation of the SWM is to position the program at a sustainable level for which Kag Lloren shared to the participants based on the actual experience of the Local Government Unit of Jagna.

In his PowerPoint presentation, Kag. Lloren said that Jagna SWM is eventually moving forward towards achieving low percentage of LGU subsidy in operating the proper management of garbage disposal.

He also presented financial data by applying the “activity-based costing” (ABC) in Jagna’s solid waste daily operations with SWM cost-revenue analysis in the collection, composting, recycling and disposal subsidies.

Innovations in Jagna’s SWM implementation programs was also shared by Kag. Lloren such as the social marketing strategies which really helped the local waste generators to change behavior, at least, through voluntary segregation of their wastes at the household level.

Driving home the point was Kag. Lloren’s presentation on the use of ring fencing scheme with the main objective of opening a special account for Jagna’s SWM funds with its corresponding legislation for institutionalization and proper guidelines.

Prior to the SWM orientation in Nueva Vizcaya, Kag Lloren was also invited as resource speaker for the same course in Dumaguete City with the component cities of Toledo, Danao, Bayawan and Bais attending.

Jagna - Considered as a significant intervention activity in the schools’ physical faciulities management, Brigada Eskwela 2008 was launched here on June 2 by Department of Education (DepEd) officials and teachers at the Jagna Central Elemntary School ground.

This was spearheaded by the tandem of the youthful and energetic schools district coordinating principal Mrs. Delfina Olaa and Jagna Central Elementary School Principal Mrs. Thelma Jalop.

The affair was truly a meaningful event as the whole teaching force of the district and the people in the private sector like the People’s Organization (POs), the Local Government Unit (LGU), the Federation of Parent-Teacher Association (FPTA) and the community were involved.

Although the Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Elpidio Jala, Ph.D. wasn’t able to attend the occasion due to conflict of time, Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Maria Lina Namocatcat took his place.

Together in attendance were division executive officers Ernesto Calamba, Mrs. Sonia Flor Kapirig and Mrs. Tarcisia Quilatan and Florencio Talan, the Division Brigada Eskwela Coordinator.

DepEd officials in the higher echelons included Dr. Vivian Yarte, the Regional Supervisor in the alternative Learning System (ALS) with her Division counterpart Mrs. Generosa Landagan.

The group that visited here were on their provincewide task force caravan in support of this massive voluntary action now institutionalized by DepEd.

It was learned that one of the underlying interests on this particular innovative measure embarked by the school is the preparation of the classrooms, teaching materials and devises and other physical facilities for ready use in the opening of classes that would spell the attainment of quality education.

Meanwhile, former 3rd District of Bohol Congressman Eladio “Boy” Jala, the generous donor of the 25 sets of computer was present to personally turn-over the equipments.

“These sets of computer are all brand new... to include the printer machines which are of durable quality."

"I encouraged the teachers to use these equipments for your pupils’ benefits…after all these are not for the teachers but for the learners themselves. Please take good care of these,” said Atty. Boy Jala.
