Barangay Mabolo is the community I chose to answer the survey topic about the issue and problem that should be addressed in our community.
Most of the respondents have the same answer about the garbage and how the workers picked it up. For example there is the problem with picking up the trash. It's not an everyday schedule that makes all the garbage stocked outside the houses and beside the road. Which Jiane Elizabeth, a young teenager from barangay Mabolo stated that “Minsang pagbabago ng schedule tapos late notice. Yung way ng pag-announce nila ay mahirap sya in a way na di ba ginagamit nila is announcement tas parang speaker lang, syempre habang dadaan sila tas nag-announce sila about basura e hindi na maririnig o hihina na bigla. Tapos yung sa tambakan ng basura sa may bisita. Understandable na nakasanayan na 'yon pero ang laking perwisyo pa rin kasi minsan kumakalat sa daan yung mga basura. "
It creates an unhealthy environment for the citizens around Mabolo as air pollution can be the outcome of the unorganized community services. Jennette dela cruz, A 42 years old resident from Mabolo said that “Air pollution kasi mabaho. Suggestion sana may disiplina ang isat isa ilagay sa tamang plastik para hindi sumabog at magkalat. At ibahin sana un nabubulok at hindi nabubulok.”
Separating biodegradable and non-biodegradable can be helpful to ease the problem. However, it is not all the barangay's fault in another case. Because at some point, the people are also accountable for the messed-up garbage disposal here in Mabolo. Racelyn O. Centeno observed that "People in the neighborhood are taking out the trash even if it is not the day to take out trash curfew are not properly regulated by the officials and the neighborhood there are a lot of noisy vehicles going around the community."
That there are ways that can be done to work out the issue. Such as having a designated trash can that is big enough per purok, similar to what Mariel Marcelino advised to the given situation, A proper announcement of the schedule on when and where the garbage can be picked up and disposed of can be and an aim to arrange and be a responsible citizen.
Regarding the garbage issue, most people are affected by this. An issue that should be resolved immediately with the help of the barangay officials and the locals in Mabolo. As Charro Ruga, an Elementary Teacher from Mabolo, suggests, "The community must have the proper rules and guidelines for disposing waste materials. An ordinance that will strengthen the implementation."
To sum up, We as human beings should always be organized in anything. Even in our house, our school, and when it comes to the garbage disposal. Many garbage cans, straws, and even leftover foods are made by a man destroying the hope of a healthy world.
Because our mother earth is not getting better, and in reality, it is getting worse every day. Most people are abusing the environment that we forget how to save before it is too late. We are responsible for our trash, so we need to clean it and be neat, not just for you, for them but for the environment and mother earth that gave us everything we have right now.
