CITY PARTNERS WITH HOLCIM PH, VOWS TO END 60-YR OLD GARBAGE CRISIS

Kasabay ng Zero Waste Month ngayong Enero, nilagdaan na po natin ang Memorandum of Agreement with Holcim Philippines, Inc. ngayong hapon, bilang “long term” at epektibong solusyon upang tapusin na ang 60-taong krisis ng ating siyudad sa basura.

Sa partnership na ito, LIBRE at walang gastos ang ating gobyerno! At sa wakas ay magiging posible na ang ating matagal nang pangarap na maipasara ang open dumpsite sa Bonuan Tondaligan Ferdinand Beach.

IT IS A DREAM THAT’S HARD TO ACHIEVE, BUT WITH HOLCIM, WE CAN DO IT ALL TOGETHER!

Kasunod na po nito ang tourism development na nakalinya para sa Tondaligan with the on-going One Bonuan Tourism Pavilion construction at ang Gen. Dauglas MacArthur Park sa Bonuan Blue Beach.

Kasama natin sa hakbang na ito ang lahat ng 31 barangays sa paghikayat ng responsible waste management, pagse-segregate ng basura simula sa households, mga paaralan, at maging sa business sector.

Matatandaang ibinasura ng nakaraang administrasyon ang libreng $15M Waste to Worth na sana’y matagal nang tumapos sa garbage problem ng siyudad.

Hindi po tayo huminto sa paghahanap ng solusyon. Ang partnership with Holcim ay matagal din na nabinbin mula sa pagharang ng 7 Majority Councilors kasama ng budget para sa mga kagamitan at dump trucks para sa epektibong pagproseso at paghahakot ng mga basura papunta sa Holcim.

Sa kabila ng mga hamon, nagpapasalamat po tayo sa opurtunidad na ito mula sa Holcim Philippines at sa tulong nina Vice Mayor BK Kua at Councilors Michael Fernandez, Jigs Seen, Dennis Canto, Lino Fernandez, and Bradley Benavidez na nagsilbing New Majority at mabilis na tinrabaho ang approval ng proyekto sa loob lamang ng 60-days.

Commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of Gen. Douglas MacArthur Landing in Dagupan

Today, we gather here at the Dagupan Tondaligan Ferdinand Blue Beach to commemorate a defining moment in history – the landing of General Douglas MacArthur during World War II at the Bonuan Blue Beach of Dagupan. This beach is more than a scenic destination; it is a sacred ground where the tides of war shifted, and freedom was reclaimed.

On January 9, 1945, General MacArthur fulfilled his famous promise, ‘I shall return,’ by landing on these very shores as part of the famous landings. Historical records reveal that Dagupan was strategically chosen as a landing site due to its geographic advantage.  Bonuan Blue Beach, provided a broad and accessible shoreline for Allied forces to launch their major offensive to liberate Luzon.

MacArthur’s landing in Dagupan was instrumental in the Allied forces’ success, as it marked the beginning of the end of Japanese occupation in the Philippines. This event not only liberated our nation but also restored hope to our people after years of struggle.

For us Dagupenos, this celebration is a testament to our integral role in this pivotal moment in history. It reminds us that our beloved city was not just a witness but a participant in the fight for freedom, as our people aided the Allied forces and endured the hardships of war with resilience and bravery.

The videos we present today are powerful evidence of the historic significance of the MacArthur landing at Bonuan Blue Beach. They affirm the truth that this very place was the stage for a monumental event that shaped the course of our nation’s history.

As we remember this day 80 years ago, let us honor the sacrifices of those who fought valiantly for our liberty. Let us take pride in our heritage as Dagupenos, knowing that our city has played a vital role in shaping the future of the Philippines.

May this commemoration inspire us to uphold the values of courage, unity, and hope that define us. Together, let us preserve this legacy and pass it on to future generations, ensuring that the story of MacArthur’s landing and Dagupan’s heroism will never be forgotten.

With deep gratitude and pride, we honor our history and look forward to a brighter future for Dagupan City

“Ang importante ay bukas po ang ating kamalayan”, pahayag ni Rivera. Tinututukan din ang mga “men having sex with men” bilang sila ang vulnerable o may mataas na pagkakataon na mahawa.
