Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso signed Tuesday an executive order mandating all 896 barangays and frontline City Hall offices to conduct a weekly clean-up drive in the city.
Domagoso signed Executive Order No. 43 as he was delivering “The Capital Report: The First 100 Days of Bagong Maynila” before members of the City Development Council at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) on Tuesday.
The order covers all barangay chiefs as well as heads of the Market Administration Office, City Hospitals, City Universities, Manila Department of Social Welfare (MDSW), Manila Barangay Bureau (MBB), Parks Development Office (PDO), Manila Tourism and Cultural Affairs Bureau (MTCAB), Department of Public Services (DPS), Public Recreations Bureau (PRB), Manila City Library (MCL), Department of Engineering and Public Works (DEPW), Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau (MTPB), and Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO).
“A weekly report of compliance shall be submitted to the undersigned (the City Mayor) through the Office of the City Administrator,” the order stated.
Domagoso has formally institutionalized the regular clean-up drives under the so-called ‘Bagong Maynila’ administration through the newly signed executive order.
The mayor said all city government-operated public markets have been regularly reporting to City Administrator Felixberto Espiritu their respective daily clean-up activities while the MDRRMO has been conducting daily flushing operations in the streets of Manila. (Erma Edera)
