In the past, we provided 2 Barangays in GMA Cavite A Barangay Green Governance Training and we provided/donated 3 biogas biodigester to 3 other Barangays or a total of 5 Barangays. But we were not prepared then to pursue further than that and implement our Barangay Green Governance Piloting in GMA Cavite, including setting up local Aksyon Kalikasan Chapter here.

Last week, our own, Michael Templonuevo, MENRO of GMA Cavite issued notices of violations to their Barangays for failure to implement relevant ecowaste laws and threatening to take them to court (ombudsman) for this. This is the first time that a municipal government has ever flexed their political powers to Barangays on this. WE NEED TO SUPPORT THIS NOW and WE EXPECT THE BARANGAYS IN GMA WITH THIS SHOW OF POLITICAL WILL AND THREAT OF OMBUDSMAN CASE WILL BE MORE RESPONSIVE to partnerships practical enough to deliver results on Barangay Green Governance starting with Ecowaste Program.
In pursuit of this, I wrote the GMA Mayor regarding our intent to return back to these 5 Barangays in GMA and finish what we started.
As a start, we are upscaling our effort. Under the CSR of the MHE Biogas Company which Mike owns, a 50-kilo per day capacity biogas diodigester has been fabricated for Aksyon Kalikasan and we will now DONATE this to the San Jose Public Market in Brgy VIrata in GMA. THis is the first time that this biodigester system has been proposed as a water treatment and waste to energy system for use in a public market. If it works, it holds a lot of potential for replication everywhere else.
The TURN OVER CEREMONY for this will be done on JULY 17 MONDAY from 10 am to 12 nn at the MRF1 near the Municipal Hall of GMA Cavite.
I recommended in the program that Mike gives a welcoming remarks, the Mayor gives his talk, the public market admin and brgy virata chair gives their talk upon receiving the unit and Dr Rowena Dohilio Resurreccion will make the closing remarks if she is available. Hope this is ok to all!
