Community Meeting and Community Service Activity

The meeting started at exactly 10 in the morning, but before it started, there was attendance and the Agenda was prepared. The picture you see is a paper of mine where the Agenda for the meeting is written. Here is what is written in the agenda:

• Secretary Report
• Treasures Report
• Induction Of Officers
• Community Service
• Garbage Proper Segregations

Secretary Report:

Here the activities that took place in the past month are presented and narrated, including the awards received from the LGU. It is good because it should be presented so that my members know what is going on in a constituency.

Treasurer's Report:

The expenses, funds or those used in past activities are also presented or narrated. This is very important for my members to know where the money that funds an area has been used. Monthly dues, fines for people who did not participate in community service and others were also discussed. The financial assistance received from the local government was also discussed along with the projects and materials received in our Ward for the projects to be carried out.

Induction Of Officers:

On the first day, there was another election for a new Ward Leader, but because our Ward Leader's record was good, he was still chosen to lead our area. So every elected official must have an Oath taking and our Barangay Captain will conduct the oath taking for the newly elected and those who remained selected as Purok Leader. Earlier our Purok Leader announced the selected officers and on July 10 the oath taking will be done. All the members were invited to witness the said oath taking and at the same time they will also bring food such as bananas, camote and other food for a simple meal.

Community Services:

This is also so important that it was also discussed earlier. Every first Friday of the month there is a community service that will be held in our area. This is a great activity to keep a pleasant and clean place. The focus is on cleaning the drain because it is one of my places where mosquitoes lay their eggs especially during the rainy season. The sides of the road are also cleaned so that the people passing through it have a good time.

Garbage Proper Segregation:

It is very important in human life, to maintain order, beauty and cleanliness in the area. Because of this, our Ward leader invited that proper segregation should be done so that the garbage does not spread in the area. It was also invited to make a compost pit to bury the waste that the garbage collectors could not collect.

Our church leader also met here in our area, and his agenda was to clean the area, especially around our chapel. Our parish church here in Manticao will hold a table every First and last Friday. It was stopped when the Pandemic broke out in the country but now it has been brought back but there is a limit inside the chapel. He also invited all the young men to join in cleaning the area and be a choir in the mass to be held.

Next Activity, The Community Service:

It is very important for the community to maintain a clean and organized area. This morning we did community service, just this morning we started cleaning the side of the road. It's nicer to see a clean place, so earlier we cleaned all the corners of the place.

This is one of the roads we cleaned earlier, this road is very important because it serves as a short cut for people. It's also the only road to our place, so we'd better clean up the area so that we don't have difficulty passing through it.

In the first month, there was a little problem here on our road because it was full of flood water and it was difficult for people and motorists to pass. This problem was immediately acted upon so that it was filled with stones and sand to prevent it from flooding. It produced a good result because the water will not overflow in the area.

Everyone was busy earlier. There are various activities, the women sweep and the men remove weeds from the side of the road. It's good to avoid the many mosquitoes around, because this is the main problem here in our area when it rains.

I can honestly say that work is really easy when everyone works together. I can see earlier how beautiful it is to be united in every activity.

A fence was also put up in our driveway. Some parts of the road were donated by the good land owner so we are very grateful that we have a permanent road here. Our Purok leader also instructed each person to bring bamboo to make a pole for the fence to be made.

The others immediately brought. We, on the other hand, were busy digging a hole to put bamboo poles. Because many people were working together earlier in the work, it was easily completed. Our Ward leader was happy with the successful community service this morning and thanked everyone who participated in the community service.
