📌July 18, 2024

Hindi napigil ng malamig na umaga ang nagkakaisang mamamayan ng Lebak sa sama-samang paglilinis ng baybaying-dagat ng Barangay Tibpuan.

Nagsimula sa maiksing programang ginanap sa Lebak Community Fish Landing Center ng nasabing barangay at natapos sa paglilinis sa mahabang dalampasigan nito. Ang paglilinis ng bayabayin ay dinaluhan ng iba’t ibang sektor ng lipunan at ahensya ng pamahalaan.

Ang Coastal Clean Up Drive ay sa pangunguna ng Opisina ng Sangguniang Bayan ng Lebak upang tugunan ang nagpapatuloy na hamon ng kalikasan, lalo na’t inaasahan pa rin ang pagpapatuloy ng masamang panahon.

Ang paglilinis sa baybaying-dagat ay paglilinis din sa ating karagatan. Hindi lamang ito para mapaganda ang ating baybayin kundi para na rin mapangalagaan ang yamang-dagat laban sa pinsalang maidulot ng basura.

𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐔𝐓!

Ito na ang pinakahihintay at pinakaaabangang Tagisan ng Galing at Talino sa Bayan ng Lebak!

Dito masusukat ang malawak na kaalaman ng mga estudyante sa larangan ng akademya sa SEKONDARYA kasama na pati ELEMENTARYA!

𝐈𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝟒!

Ngayong Agosto na. Tara na, Mag-Kapeonan na kita!

“Plant for today, build for tomorrow.”🌳

Bilang tugon sa hamon ng mabilis na pagbabago ng klima at panahon, pinangunahan ng Opisina ng Sangguniang Bayan ng Lebak ang pagtatanim ng iba’t ibang klase ng puno sa katabing-bahagi ng Paris Highland Resort, Barangay Basak, nitong munisipalidad, kanina July 17, 2024.

Ito rin ay dinaluhan ng mga personalidad mula sa iba’t ibang ahensya ng gobyerno, mga pribadong grupo, at mga mamamayan ng Barangay Basak. Ang malawak na bahagi ng Paris Highland Resort ay parte ng watershed na nagsisilbing pangunahing pinagkukunan ng inuming tubig ng nasabing barangay at ng mga karatig-lugar nito. Ito rin ay idineklarang protected watershed areas kung kaya’t marapat na panatilihin ang sigla ng kagubatan sa paligid nito at iwasan ang pagkakalbo nito, dulot ng walang pakundangang pagpuputol ng mga puno.

Ang inisyatibong ito ay hamon para sa lahat ng mamamayan ng Lebak na maging aktibo sa pagtatanim, pangangalaga, at rehabilitasyon ng ating kalikasan.

📌Bukas, July 18, 2024, ala-sais ng umaga, inaanyayahan din ang lahat na dumalo sa Coastal Clean Up Drive na gaganapin sa baybaying-dagat ng Barangay Tibpuan. Maaari lamang magdala ng sariling sako at iba pang kagamitang-panlinis.
