MMDA Honors Top Barangays in Results-Based Incentives Awarding for Solid Waste Management

MMDA Honors Top Barangays in Results-Based Incentives Awarding for Solid Waste Management

Sunday, January 12, 2025

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) proudly recognized the top-performing project barangays of the Metro Manila Flood Management Project (MMFMP) for their exemplary implementation of community-based solid waste management (SWM) under the project's Results-based Incentive (RBI) scheme. The awarding ceremony took place at the Red Hotel in Cubao, Quezon City, highlighting the success of the barangays in managing solid wastes in their communities and contributing to the minimization of waste in waterways, which is critical for flood mitigation.

A total of 12 top-performing barangays from across the 85 project barangays of MMFMP in Metro Manila were selected based on agreed performance measures on community-based plans and practices in waste collection, segregation, and diversion. Under the RBI scheme, these barangays consequently underwent a performance validation process led by a technical working group composed of representatives from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA) and the De La Salle University.

After the evaluation, three barangays emerged as the top performers. The best-performing barangays, Barangay 136 in Manila, Barangay San Isidro in Makati, and Barangay 94 in Manila, each received major incentives and a Solid Waste Management Investment amounting to PHP 750,000 for their outstanding efforts in improving waste collection, segregation, and disposal practices. Meanwhile, the remaining top barangays received minor incentives, including solid waste management (SWM) tools worth PHP 50,000 each.

MMDA Chairman Atty. Romando S. Artes emphasized the significance of the RBI scheme, stating, “Our Results-Based Incentives scheme is a very tangible initiative with clear results rooted in the power of collaboration. The success of these barangays proves that with the right support, community engagement, and incentives, we can make significant strides in reducing waste in Metro Manila’s waterways, ultimately preventing flooding and creating cleaner, more sustainable neighborhoods.”

MMDA General Manager Undersecretary Procopio G. Lipana emphasized that “Since the launch of the RBI in 2023, we have partnered with various agencies to assess and evaluate the performance of barangays in managing their waste. I send my heartfelt congratulations to the twelve barangays that have demonstrated exemplary dedication and leadership in solid [waste] management. Your efforts are making a real difference, not only in your communities but across Metro Manila.”

“What we are doing now is all anchored on our ten-year roadmap to zero waste. Because that is now the trend, we have to remove the word ‘garbage.’ But we have turned the waste into a valuable resource. Pursuant to Republic Act 9003, we have to segregate at source,” he added.

The RBI program is part of the larger Metro Manila Flood Management Project (MMFMP) under Component 2, which aims to minimize solid waste in waterways. The program incentivizes barangays to improve their SWM practices, thereby reducing the volume of waste that accumulates in waterways and pumping stations, which can inhibit their flood control functions.

The top-performing barangays demonstrated innovative strategies and exceptional dedication to solid waste management, setting benchmarks for other communities. Barangay 136 of Manila implemented a robust waste segregation program, achieving approximately 90% household participation through ordinances, seminars, and social media campaigns. Barangay San Isidro, Makati formalized a subsystem for inaccessible areas, increasing waste collection coverage to nearly 100% and diverting more biodegradable waste since 2021. Meanwhile, Barangay 94 of Manila established a Barangay Materials Recovery Facility near its estero to streamline waste management and recycling efforts, ensuring proper waste disposal and promoting tie-ups with local junk shops and NGOs.

These barangays not only improved their local environments but also inspired sustainable practices among their residents, contributing significantly to Metro Manila’s waste management goals.

As the top performers were recognized for their solid waste management initiatives that not only improved waste collection and segregation but also fostered a culture of sustainability among its residents, the RBI program’s pilot implementation will continue to be refined, with plans for replication in more barangays across Metro Manila. The MMDA hopes to inspire other local government units to adopt the same model, further expanding the reach of community-based solid waste management practices.

Dir. Josias E. Syquimsiam, Jr., Director IV of the Solid Waste Management Office, said “"As public servants, we don't expect to be recognized for our service to the nation, as it is our sworn duty. However, MMDA chooses to give importance to these efforts. We understand the hardships and challenges you've endured in managing waste in your communities."

"Today, the MMDA recognizes the steps you have taken to maintain order and cleanliness, not only in your respective barangays but for the entire Metro Manila. We hope this continues and that the initiatives you have chosen to establish serve as a model, enabling us to do what’s right for our shared environment. We are beyond grateful to be your partner in providing an ecological, systematic, comprehensive, and, most importantly, sustainable solid waste management program for the people of Metro Manila," he continued.

The ceremony also included presentations from the winning barangays, showcasing their innovative SWM initiatives and plans, as well as sustained improvements in waste management practices. The event concluded with a commitment from the MMDA and partner barangays to continue working together in achieving a cleaner, flood-resilient Metro Manila.

Achieving Financial Goals in 2025: Your Blueprint for Success

Achieving Financial Goals in 2025: Your Blueprint for Success

Wednesday, January 1, 2025

The start of a new year brings a sense of renewal and opportunity. For 2025, setting and achieving financial goals can position you for long-term success and stability. Whether you’re saving for a dream vacation, planning to purchase your first home, or building an emergency fund, here’s how you can make your financial aspirations a reality.

1. Define Your Financial Goals Clearly

Start by being specific about what you want to achieve. Instead of vague statements like "I want to save more," try "I will save ₱50,000 by December 2025 for a family vacation." Clear, measurable goals provide direction and motivation.

2. Create a Realistic Budget

A well-structured budget is the backbone of financial planning. Review your income and expenses to identify areas where you can cut back. Use the 50/30/20 rule:

50% for necessities (rent, food, utilities)

30% for wants (entertainment, dining out)

20% for savings and debt repayment

There are free apps that can simplify the budgeting process.

3. Automate Your Savings

Set up automatic transfers to your savings account. Treat your savings like a non-negotiable expense to ensure consistency. If your goal is to save ₱5,000 per month, automate the transfer at the start of each month to avoid the temptation to spend.

4. Invest Wisely

Let your money work for you by exploring investment options like mutual funds, stocks, or real estate. For beginners, consult a financial advisor to align your investments with your risk tolerance and goals. Remember, the earlier you invest, the greater the potential for growth due to compounding interest.

5. Pay Down Debt Strategically

High-interest debt, like credit card balances, can derail your financial plans. Use strategies such as:

The Avalanche Method: Pay off high-interest debts first.

The Snowball Method: Pay off smaller debts first for psychological wins.

By eliminating debt, you free up funds for your goals.

6. Build an Emergency Fund

Life is unpredictable. Aim to save 3-6 months’ worth of living expenses in an easily accessible account. This fund acts as a financial cushion for unexpected events, such as medical emergencies or job loss.

7. Track Your Progress Regularly

Revisit your goals every month to assess your progress. Are you on track? If not, identify the roadblocks and adjust your strategies accordingly.

8. Stay Motivated with Visual Tools

Use visual aids like goal trackers or vision boards to remind yourself of what you’re working toward. Apps like Goodbudget and PocketGuard can also help you stay focused.

9. Educate Yourself Continuously

Financial literacy is key to making informed decisions. Read books, attend seminars, or listen to podcasts by experts like Dave Ramsey or Suze Orman.

10. Celebrate Small Wins

Achieving financial goals is a marathon, not a sprint. Celebrate milestones, like saving your first ₱10,000 or paying off a credit card. These celebrations will keep you motivated to reach the finish line.

Start Now for a Brighter Financial Future

2025 is your year to take control of your finances. With clear goals, disciplined budgeting, and a proactive mindset, you can achieve financial security and build the life you’ve envisioned.

What are your financial goals for 2025? Share them below and let’s inspire each other to succeed!

Visa empowers OFWs, digital workers, and SME owners with seamless remittance solutions

Visa empowers OFWs, digital workers, and SME owners with seamless remittance solutions

Friday, December 20, 2024

As holiday remittances peak, Visa enhances its commitment to simplifying and securing digital money transfers for OFWs, digital workers, and SME owners worldwide.

Remittances from Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), digital workers, and SME owners surge during the holiday season, as many Filipinos abroad send extra funds to support family celebrations, year-end expenses, and business investments. In December 2023, remittances hit a record $3.6 billion, a 3.9% increase from the previous year. This seasonal boost provides essential financial support for Filipino households and local businesses, covering holiday needs and fueling consumer spending.

Digital money movement solutions are making it easier than ever for OFWs, digital workers, and SME owners to send money home. This has driven a surge in remittance volumes, especially during the holiday season. With 75% of Filipino senders using digital apps in 2023, according to Visa's Money Travels: 2024 Annual Remittances Adoption report, they can transfer funds with greater convenience, speed, and security.

From the Philippines to the world: supporting digital workers and SME owners

However, the movement of funds to and from the Philippines is not solely driven by OFWs. As the Philippine economy embraces digitalization, many Filipinos are increasingly servicing overseas clients through roles such as Virtual Assistants (VAs), in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector, and other online freelance work. This expanding community of digital workers is fueling cross-border transactions, boosting inbound flows, and solidifying the Philippines' position in the global digital economy. The country's BPO sector, a major driver of this growth, is forecasted to generate $35.5 billion in revenue and employ 1.82 million Filipinos by 2024. Complementing this is the rising freelance industry, with 1.5 million Filipinos now registered as freelancers.

Jeffrey Navarro, Country Manager for Visa Philippines, said: “The Philippines has a robust OFW remittance market, contributing approximately 8.5% of the country’s GDP. With digital money movement solutions, Filipinos now have more options to send money back home. This shift simplifies financial support and fosters greater financial inclusion, enabling access to secure, regulated digital channels.

At Visa, we recognize the vital role that OFW remittances play in supporting Filipino families and driving economic resilience. By enhancing digital money movement solutions, we’re making it easier, faster, and safer for Filipinos to send and receive funds globally. Our commitment extends to empowering digital workers and SME owners with seamless and reliable cross-border payment solutions."

For freelancers and small business owners, digital payment modes offer opportunities to grow their businesses. Earlier research from Visa shows that among businesses in the Philippines that have adopted digital payments, those accepting cards saw the most significant turnover increases at 83%. Visa's data revealed that 72% of surveyed SMEs found business management easier with digital payments. These payments provide instant transfers and enable cashless transactions, enhancing the commerce experience. Visa supports SMEs by offering widespread acceptance and robust protection against fraudulent activities for both merchants and customers.

Making remittances more seamless

As more Filipinos turn to digital money movement platforms, many of the challenges associated with traditional money movement solutions —such as high fees, lengthy and processing times—are being reduced.

In the Philippines, where these barriers have long impacted senders and recipients alike, digital solutions are making remittances more affordable and convenient. In 2023, of the Filipinos who used digital money movement services, 58% indicated a preference to use them more frequently going forward, compared to just 24% for traditional money movement services. Digital users also report fewer issues and greater reliability, underscoring the advantages of digitization in making remittances easier and more accessible.

Visa recognizes the importance of seamless money movement solutions for OFWs and supports this through a Visa card feature that enables cardholders to instantly receive funds sent from abroad. This offers a faster and more convenient way to send funds globally. Any customer with a Visa card issued in the Philippines can receive funds by simply providing their card number to the sender.

This, among other innovative services, underscores Visa's commitment to enhancing digital money movement for Filipinos, which transforms how they connect with the global economy.

The ease, speed, and affordability of digital platforms are reshaping the money movement landscape, simplifying processes for OFWs, and unlocking opportunities for SMEs, outsourcing, and freelance industries. Visa’s commitment to digital solutions strengthens economic support, growth, and financial inclusion driving a more resilient Philippine economy.
