Good morning to all! I want to share with you one of the program this Christmas which will benefit many people of Makati City, Philippines. It's good to hear this kind of new because it will help the poor and the needy people.
In anticipation of the Yuletide season, the Makati City government will launch today a recycling program to encourage residents to reuse garbage to create novelty Christmas gifts.
With the theme "Basura’y Bawasan, Balikgamitin at Baguhin ang anyo sa Pasko (3B sa Pasko)," the project will include a month-long exhibit and trade fair of different kinds of Christmas items made from recyclable materials.
It will tour the city’s 16 public schools and 19 barangay neighborhood organizations so as to promote recycling as a means of alternative livelihood. According to Department of Environmental Services (DES) chief Danilo Villas, the 3B sa Pasko, which will run until December 5, is organized to introduce waste reduction as an entrepreneurial source of livelihood where the main capital is basically composed of recyclable materials.
"It’s Christmas time once again and we are now encouraging our school officials, students and residents to take those recyclables from their schools and homes and make colorful and innovative items which they can sell at the 3B sa Pasko exhibit," Villas said. Villas added that event organizers will also choose among the participants, who has the best product and the best booth.
The best product excellence will be judged by 40 percent for recyclables, 20 percent for usables, 20 percent for creativity, and another 20 percent for innovativeness.
On the other hand, the best booth will be judged by 20 percent for product display with tag price and description, 40 percent for booth décor and arrangement, and another 40 percent for uniqueness and use of recyclable materials.
Villas assured that visitors can purchase beautiful novelty items such as Christmas and home decorations at reasonable prices.
