Guv asks junkshop owners to help solve garbage woes

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Governor Lilia Pineda on Monday sought the help of the newly organized Junkshop Owners and Operators of Pampanga in solving Pampanga’s garbage problem.
Speaking before an estimated 400 junkshop owners and operators enrolled under Capitol’s “Kariton para sa Kalinisan, Kabuhayan, Kalusugan at Katahimikan” or 5K Program at the People’s Sports Center here, the governor said they are in the forefront of garbage collection and segregation.
“We will help you and I ask that you help us in return so that we can altogether solve our garbage problem and assist in proper solid waste management,” she said.
She added that the Provincial Government spends so much on the problem and “I am appealing to you to join us in solving this especially that you know areas that are filled with garbage like creeks and waterways in your respective barangays.”
She also sought their assistance in fighting the drug menace, as well as curb theft and robbery, particularly of cables and other stuff like iron fences.
“Huwag ninyong bibilhin ang mga ganitong nakaw na kalakal. Tulungan din ninyo sana kaming malutas ang problema sa droga at isuplong sa ating kapulisan ang ganitong pangyayari (Don’t buy these stolen items. Also help us solve drug problems in the province),” she said.
In return, she added, Capitol will provide PhilHealth and Health Access Cards to the junkshop owners and operators and their families, as well as educational assistance and scholarships to their children wishing to pursue their studies.
