The DENR-PENRO Batangas spearheaded a stakeholder management activity with Pallocan West Senior Citizen and Women’s Group in Brgy. Pallocan West, Batangas City. 

A lecture entitled “Solid Waste Management: Tamang Pamamahala ng ating mga Basura” was delivered to remind participants about the 3Rs (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) of solid waste management; effects of unmanaged wastes, proper waste disposal, and innovations to reduce waste. Following the lecture, a Q&A portion was facilitated to discuss the learnings of the participants. Additionally, the participants were encouraged to take part in the Solid Waste Management Action; to make it possible at home, as modest changes now can have a big impact tomorrow. 

In partnership with the Office of the City Veterinary and Agricultural Services, the DENR-PENRO Batangas was able to distribute vegetable seeds such as Lettuce, Pechay, and Eggplant. Moreover, Promotional Materials were also distributed as prizes for active participants such as tumblers and lunch boxes to discourage the use of single-use plastics and promote the usage of reusable products. Notebooks and ballpens were also distributed.
