BASURA PATROL
Solid waste management remains a major challenge in almost all areas in the
Philippines. These are due to the improper disposal, the inefficient waste collection,
improper toilet training by parents, and the lack of disposal facilities. Improper disposal
of solid waste can create unsanitary conditions, and these conditions in turn can lead to
pollution of the environment and to outbreaks of vector-borne disease—that is, diseases
spread by rodents and insects. Majority of these discarded wastes, end up in the
ocean, harms animal human health and deteriorate habitats for organisms.
Although numerous waste management programs have been run by the LGUs and
other management companies, at least 40%out of a hundred, lessened by the aimed
recovery goal (SEA Circular, 2020) by 2030, still affects and might worsen the current
situation of the community. In line with these, Miputak National High School is looking
for a way to help and support in strengthening the implementation of REPUBLIC ACT
NO. 9003 “Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000”. This Basura Patrol is a
school project that is really included in our School Implementation Plan (SIP).
However, in our school since August of 2022 during the opening of classes after
the Pandemic we started to inform and educate our students about proper waste
disposal but despite of many reminders it has been observed that there are many
students who are not disposing their waste properly. Disposal of both biodegradable
and non-biodegradable waste is a major concern. Thus, our school created a BASURA
PATROL as one of the Projects, Programs and Activities (PPA’s) of the school adhering the
guidelines of the City Ordinance adopted and strengthened by the SSG with the
supervision of the School’s Committee on Waste and Management System to implement
strictly the proper waste disposal.
OBJECTIVES:
To strengthen the integration of ecological solid waste management into the
teaching -learning areas to promote environmental awareness and action among
students.
To practice proper waste management in all areas of the school campus.
To promote students’ knowledge and cooperation in proper waste disposal.
To maintain cleanliness and tidiness of our school campus.
Dipolog City was one of the cities to follow suit after the enactment of the Solid
Waste Management Act in 2000. The Republic Act No. 9003, another name for the
Philippine Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, mandates the creation of
solid waste management schemes to preserve and protect human ecological systems.
The MIPIAN Basura Patrollers and the Supreme Student Government create a resolution
no. s, 2022-2023 (Providing guidelines on the proper segregation and collection of solid
wastes and use of the material recovery facility in Miputak National High School) an
ordinance that was in line with another local ordinance on sanitation and cleanliness
known as Ordinance No. 123, which is Garbage Collection and Environmental Health
Protection and Sanitation Code of 1998 for the City of Dipolog. The regulation also
stipulates that information on waste collection services, solid waste management, and
related health and environmental concerns be widely disseminated among the public
either through print and broadcast media or other government agencies.
Anchored on the City Ordinance 123 our school established a BASURA Patrol
Committee. What makes this program unique is that our processed of implementing our
activities is very challenging and rewarding. It started from the classroom wherein there
is an assigned Basura Patroller which will monitor their respective classroom and tasks
to ensure that their waste from the classroom is properly segregated. In every grade level
there is an assigned Basura Patroller who will collect and ensure that the waste has
been properly segregated, if they observed that it is not properly segregated, they will not
collect it and they will issue a violation ticket of that certain classroom, this will be done
in a rotation basis. From the classroom the Basura Patroller will be the one to bring the
collected properly segregated waste to the Big Bins located on the ground floor of the
school. Also, the SSG, YES-O, SAMAP Officers, Boy scout and Girl scout were entitled to
issue a ticket for all the violators of the campus. Aside from the City Ordinance 123 the
following are addition ground for sanctions loitering during classes hours, vaping, or
smoking, throwing of waste improperly and spitting. First offense the violator will be
reprimanded, second offense the violator must render 15 minutes community service
and third offense the violators will pay the amount of P15.00. This is being done after
the information, education, and dissemination by the SSG. There will be a reward for the
officers who can perform the task religiously.
