Supply of shells and other marine products in Bantayan Public Market regain after Habagat strikes in Visayas area.  "Binga' is one of the most delicious shells sold in the market.  

Undesirable weather condition affects not only to the supply of marine products but also to the marine ecosystem.  Uprooted seagrasses are evident on shorelines facing southwest.  Some plastic waste drifted along the coastline.  

More than 5 tons of domestic waste were sucessfully transported from the island of Lipayran to the mainland of Bantayan.  Despite heavy rains and wind disturbances, the puroks through the Bantay Dagat did it.  This is such a great effort!

Domestic waste from the households are collected by the Purok and transported to the CMRF for Final Treatment.  Before unloading, it will be checked by the CMRF record keeper to ensure that the delivery has complied the segregation guidelines.  

Beacuase of the active participation of Puroks in the 25 barangays in Bantayan, the final sorting and recovery of recyclable materials is even easier and efficient, the Municipal Solid Waste Managent of Bantayan reported.  

This facility is intended for storage of all hazardous waste recovered at the final sorting of garbage collected from households and government facilities within the Municipality of Bantayan.  Upon reaching the minimum volume, it will be collected by the accredited hazadous waste treaters for final treatment.  

Organic wastes generated from the public market of the Municipality of Bantayan are collected daily and transported to the CMRF.  On the average, the CMRF received 20 tons of organic waste every month.

  PRESENTATION OF BAHKAP SYSTEM FRAMEWORK                 Mr. Rosendo Bonghanoy, Jr., Municipal Solid Waste Manager presented the BAHKAP System Pilot Project 2022 result and salient points in the pipeline for 2023.   The BAHKAP System Framework is the major output developed based on the results and analyses in the pilot study.                   In the study conducted in June to December of 2022, there were three indicators used.   First, the Level of Acceptability of Household toward proper waste segregation, second, the Level of Participation of Household in proper waste segregation, and third, the waste characterization guide for the households introducing the nine (9) types of garbage.   The introduction of waste characterization guide to all households and puroks have gained positive feedback from the people because it made easier for them to segregate their own garbage.                   Based on the BAHKAP System monitoring, the average participation of households in pilot bara

  RATIONALE:      It is one of the most imperative strategies of the local government of Bantayan to prioritize actions with public health benefits and employ highest quality science with a full range of practical experience in resource management through an integrated solid waste management system.   The integration of solid waste management system and safe water sanitation and hygiene in the purok and barangay aim to develop management tools and standards, empower the purok through sharing of best practices and cooperation, conduct monitoring and coordination, and to respond emerging issues pertaining to garbage and water.   OBJECITVE:       To provide cash assistance to the 157 disadvantage/displaced workers from the informal sectors in the Municipality of Bantayan through the TUPAD program of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).   RESULTS:        Based on the daily monitoring of the number of beneficiaries present from day 1 to day 10 of implementation. ·       Total no.

Increasing demand for marine products in the local market is directly associated with the increasing human population of the country. The increase in population per year has greatly impacted the socio-economic landscape and values of the people.  To mention some challenges associated with population is its effect on coastal resource management.  Destructive fishing activities is one of the perennial issues affecting coastal resource management in the Philippines. The enforcement of the national and local policies and regulations is very challenging because most of the time the effort will all trickle down to inconsistency in the implementation and lesser priority. In the northern part of Bohol, Philippines, the settlements are most commonly concentrated along coastal areas and islets thereby increasing the demand for marine products and at the same time potential increase in the enforcement threshold.   The first issue is the high demand of marine products in the local market.   Why?  

This activity aims to introduce the nine types of garbage commonly found in the mainstream for the proper segregation, recovery, treatment and final disposal.  This activity is part of the series of purok-based initiated activities to increase the level of participation of households in waste segregation.  The target for this year is to reach 60% level of participation of households from the 40% participation in 2022.  The target will include all households in the 25 barangays of the Municipality of Bantayan. 

Today, marks the 4 th year milestone of purok system in Bantayan with its 392 purok and counting, initiated different activities for waste management, health and sanitation, livelihood development and most of all the participation and cooperation of purok during emergencies and calamities. 

  For the month of April, we expected the volume of garbage to double because of the holy week activities.  The possible influx of local tourists and devotees coming from other cities and municipalities and even from other provinces were expected to affect waste generation.  However, the data show decrease of waste received in April 1-30.  From the average of 99,000 kg in Quarter 1, we only recorded 77,002 kg in in April (see Figure 1).  Based on data and assuming that all garbage generated in April has been collected, there is no significant increase of garbage generated in the month of April.  Though there is a slight increase of more than 2000 kg of biodegradable collected from the Public Market still manageable as compared to the forecasted increase of 100,000 kg.  Factors affecting the weight of domesrtic waste: 1. The moisture content of garbage in April 1-30 was relatively lower due to absence of rainfall.  The average moisture content of Municipal Solid Waste ranging from 15%
