Manila City searches for cleanest, greenest barangays

We’re not sure if this was announced on Facebook Live, but Isko Moreno’s beloved city of Manila is giving away a prize money of P1M per winning barangay per district that is judged the cleanest and the greenest.

Mayor Moreno tweeted:

“Papahuli ba barangay niyo? The search for CLEANEST and GREENEST barangay is on!”.

Who will be the judges? The panel will be composed of representatives from Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and government agencies.

For the criteria:

• 30 points for segregation at source and segregated collection
• 20 points for a material recovery facility
• 20 points for greening programs (vertical gardening, urban garden or urban agriculture)
• 15 points for barangay solid waste management committee
• 15 points for barangay weekly clean up

We checked on the reaction of netizens and this got our eyes:

My barangay is always clean without this reward system until some squatters came throwing trash behind the plants to hide it.

The problem is not about implementation or codification it's about liberalism which continues to infect millions of people turning them into savages.
