THE MAYOR REPORTS...
To Pursue the True Essence of
Independence…
(Excerpts from the speech delivered by Mayor Amado T.
Tadena on the occasion of 114th Celebration of Philippine Independence on June 12, 2012 at the People’s
Coliseum, Santo Domingo, Ilocos Sur).
As we mark the 114th anniversary of Philippine Independence Day, we cannot help but review the continuous
struggles we have been through even after Gen. Emilio
Aguinaldo proclaimed our independence on June 12,
1898.
Even after we gained our full independence in 1946,
there were many things that had to be undertaken in order to enjoy that freedom. Every Filipino clamored for
nation building. The country slowly rose from the ravages of war and there was even a time when its economy
was the object of envy among its Asian neighbors.
Several decades have past and we still ask ourselves, are
we really free? Have we really gained our freedom?
So long as there are Filipinos depending on other people
and on the government for sustenance, we are not free.
Independence is meaningless if there are Filipinos who
have not been freed from the bondage of poverty and
lack of education, because the true essence of independence is when we are totally free from the bondage of tyranny of any form.
Every citizen should therefore participate to pursue the
true essence of independence. Let us help our fellowmen
to be freed from the bondage of poverty, hunger, ignorance, and indolence. As public servants, we can do our
part by being true to ourselves in rendering service to
our fellowmen. While it is perceived that our economy
had improved, it is not evident among the masses. Let us
support the government so that the improvement of our
economy will cascade down to the grassroots. Let us be
vigilant so that the independence we have won from foreign invaders will not become meaningless or lost.
Mayor Tadena Meets School Heads
and Teachers
(Excerpts from the discussions of Mayor Amado T.
Tadena in a meeting with school heads and teachers of
The
ARANGKADA
the Santo Domingo District at the North Central Elememtary School on June 1, 2012 where he emphasized
his campaign for implementation of Comprehensive
Solid Waste Management, Prevention of Dengue, Improvement of School Performance and Values Formation.)
Implementation of Comprehensive Solid Waste Management
It is often said that teachers are the most effective conveyor of change, so I called for this meeting to enlist
your help in the implementation of the Municipal Ordinance, known as Comprehensive Solid Waste Management. I believe that if we start educating children about
solid waste management, we will be more successful in
our campaign. I take Palawan as an example. Believing
that the youths are the hope of their future, Palawan
LGU started its campaign with the children. If you visit
Palawan today you will see that their strategy had been
effective. So, start teaching your pupils how the four
components of waste management such as biodegradables, recyclables, plastics, dirty/toxic substances, should
be handled. Teach them to segregate.
The biodegradables should be placed to the compost pit
to be converted into organic fertilizers. Plastics should
be collected and to be brought to the MRF where they
will be converted into plastic tiles through a plastic densifier. Recyclables should be kept in a container until
they are collected and sold. Dirty/toxic substances
should be kept in cemented vault where they will be incinerated.
Prevention of Dengue
The most effective means of preventing dengue is to
keep the surroundings clean. Cleaning the environment
precedes loving the environment. So teach your pupils to
keep their environment clean. You should make sure that
there are no breeding places of mosquitoes within the
school premises.
School Performance
I was not so happy when I got a copy of the schools’ performances. I was surprised of your pupils’ rating in the
National Achievement Test. It is gratifying to note, however, that Sived Elementary School got the highest rating
(80.55) among all schools in our district. For this, we
have decided to reward Sived one unit (1) of computer. I
challenge the rest of the schools to exert more effort to

improve your performance.
Maybe you can conduct conferences with parents to
strategize on the techniques of helping the children with
their school work. If possible, they should see to it that
they eat regular meals, because nutrition is one factor
that affects performance. This is the reason why the
MSWD is conducting Feeding Program for children in
the Day Care Centers because brain development occurs
immensely during early childhood.
On Values Formation
There is a saying that “values are caught not taught”. So
it is not enough to give lectures. Children can best learn
and pick up values from the activities they participate in,
much more on what they see from their teachers. I suggest that you conduct sports activities where pupils can
develop proper behavior and attitude in winning as well
as in losing. By exposing them to friendly competition,
the pupils will not only develop sportsmanship, but also
courtesy and respect for the right of others. They will
grow up as responsible citizens and become the future
leaders of Santo Domingo.

GOVERNMENT INTERNSHIP PROGRAM (GIP) BENEFITS 40 YOUTH
Forty (40) out-of-school and in-school youths participated in the Government Internship Program
(GIP) this summer, for a period of 52 days. Earning
a daily wage of Php250.00, the participants were
able to save for their tuition fees for the first semester of this school year.
The GIP provides opportunity for both out-of-school
and in-school a hands-on experience of working in
various government agencies, which they could
later on use when they decide to be a part of the
government work force. This is likewise great
chance for them to develop positive attitude towards work and in the workplace. This program is
implemented during summertime when the youths
are on vacation, thus using their available time in a
productive manner.
The participants of this program are 18-30 years
old who belong to any of the following categories:
1) In school youth/students; 2) out of school; and 3)
college graduates/vocational courses who are unemployed. (By: Julie Tabag)
