6re-implementation of the briefly foregone projects called for the creation of theBarangay Health and Environmental Brigade (BHEB), a conglomerate ofcommitted community dwellers who took to the responsibility of collectingrecyclables and managing the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) at Sitio Dao,Purok 3. Biodegradable refuse from the pilot puroks 6 and 7, and those from theexpansion puroks 4 and 5 ended up at this MRF for further handling as compost.First hand as support group to the project and community organizers werethe Barangay Council and the L-EPM managers Such close coordinationbetween the Gusa LGU and the city government was also key to the successfulimplementation of the barangay’s ISWMP.The Big Garbage Pay-OffThe ISWMP completed four years of implementation with results that areas vivid as the objectives that they started out with. The accomplishment of theseis a primary indicator of the project results.‣ Improved household segregation, separate collection and transport ofwaste from pilot puroks 4, 5, 6, and 7.In keeping with RA 9003, segregation at source was realized perhousehold. Since the community was involved in the policy-making, keeping tothe action plan and penalty system was unswerving. Separate collection andtransportation of waste materials are achieved. The “No dump truck=no garbageoutside the household” rule was strictly observed. Biodegradable waste collectionis scheduled on Mondays and Fridays only while recyclables and residuals arecollected from the puroks on separate dates.‣ Produced, utilized, and marketed compostIn line with the implementers’ vision of progress, income was generatedfor the cooperative handling the MRF. Five hundred sacks of compost were soldduring a recent open house. The rest of which fertilizes the nine 1X20 sq. m bedsof pechay, eggplants and kangkong. Other than the vegetable produce, thecommunity organizers also came up with a “Kabulakan Festival” to showcaseornamental flora fertilized by the compost. The following figures mark their 2005income:Compost from Biodegradables- PhP 27, 000.00 in 5 monthsRecyclables-PhP 3, 000 every 45 daysVegetables from plot garden-PhP 28, 000 in 8 months‣ Enhanced relations between the LGU and the communityThe LEPM process of identification, prioritization of relevant issues,participatory planning and implementation mobilized the direct beneficiarieswithin and around the area including the industries, and local and national
