City employees, officials lead river clean-ups

PAGADIAN CITY - Six rivers of Pagadian City’s urban area were cleaned up by officials and employees of the city government last July 11, calling it a coastal clean-up program. 

During the July 10 Mayor’s Report broadcasted over the local TV and radio stations in the city, Mayor Romeo Pulmones said that the activity was sponsored by the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management headed by Haron Damada.

The rivers were: Kawit-San Pedro Rivers, Rizal Ave.-Balangasan River, Sta. Lucia-Dumagoc River, Urro St.-Gatas River, Rizal Ave.-Gatas River and the Napolan-Dumagoc River.

“Mao ning mga area nga atoang pagalimpyuhan kay kung ang atoang suba dili malimpyuhan, mamahimo kining hinungdan sa dagko pud nga problema sa mga mosunod,” says Mayor Pulmones.

On the other hand, Vice Mayor Divina Grace Yu who led her employees at the Barangay Kawit with the same activity requested the people to be more active in reducing their disposal of garbage along the city’s rivers saying “giawhag nato ang mga lumulupyo ilabi na dinhi sa daplin sa river nga maglikay sa paglabay ug basura kay kini ang hinungdan nga mamahimong polluted ang atoang mga dagat.”

Yu further shared that in the past, many people planted seaweeds as an additional livelihood, adding  “sauna sa pagtanom sa agar-agar kusog kayo dinhi sa atoang syudad apan karon wala na dili na nato mapahimuslan tungod ka yang atoang mga dagat polluted na kaayo.”

She added: “Sa atong makita dinhi polluted kaayo daghan kaayong mga plastic, mga styrofoam nga naglutaw-lutaw, so maningkamot ta nga kung kini malimpyuhan nato ang mga tagbalay usab diri sa kilid sa mga coastal areas maawhag sad sila nga limpyuhon ang mga river ug ang coastal areas.”

Yu added in asking the Pagadianons to contribute for the protection of the environment saying “Giawhag ang mga katawhan sa syudad sa Pagadian nga magmatngun ta sa atoang environment, kay kita ra man gihapon ang makapahimulos niani, ang atoang mga anak, atong mga apo ang makapahimulos ani… So kitang tanan maghiusa ta sa paglimpyo sa atoang tugkaran aron ma-maintain gihapon nato ang kalimpyo kay kitang tanan gud daghan ang atong mahimo para sa syudad sa Pagadian.”
