The document summarizes a clean up project conducted in Barangay Lubing. The project aimed to educate the community, especially teenagers, about environmental protection and encourage participation in clean up activities. It involved cleaning roadsides, cutting grass, clearing drainage canals, and planting backyard gardens. The organizer saw increased youth involvement during their second clean up event. The conclusion emphasizes that small individual efforts can benefit the environment and hopes future generations will recognize nature's importance.

3. The world today is vastly different
from what it was before. Since the turn
of the new millennium, the issue of the
environment has suddenly evolved into
a widespread issue which is greatly
discussed throughout the world.
“No longer are humans living in a
world where the environment is
serene or stable but much
rather becoming unrecognizable
and diminishing before our eyes. “
INTRODUCTION:

4. The plants, trees and flowers are life
forms which God has created for us to enjoy its
beauty but it is now solely up to us. We are
abusing the things which are supposed to be
taking care of by us. Everyone is affected and
everyone is responsible. It is an issue that
cannot be ignored and action must be taken to
preserve something that is unique to humanity.
They help safeguard the environment by
informing and educating communities in
isolated areas the impacts of our actions on the
environment and how we can help to protect it.
INTRODUCTION:

5. Perhaps one of the most
successful ways to help
prevent environmental
damage is to discuss to
others the issues relating to
our environment. This way
people can become informed
and aware that there is only
one environment and it is our
duty to protect it.
INTRODUCTION:

6. THE BEST THING WE COULD DO TO
HELP IS TO STAND UP AND MAKE A
CHANGE.
But we should also
keep in mind that
informing others is not
just the SOLUTION for
our Mother earth's
problem. We all can
help in our own very
little way.
REMEMBER:
We are the Stewards
Of God’s Creation.

8. In our barangay, there are rules being
implemented for cleanliness and sanitation.
However, this past few weeks, I have seen that
some canals are clogging. This is very
dangerous since it may become the place for
mosquitoes to live that will cause diseases
specially Dengue. Based also from my
observation, there were tall grasses along the
roads which have to be cut.

I want to educate our
community to be
aware of what’s
happening
A
around us.
Thus, I had
come up with
L
my GOALS:

10. 1. To be a part of the “Tulong-Tulong: Barangay
Lubing Clean Up Activity” twice a month.
2. To encourage other teens to help in
maintaining the cleanliness of our barangay.
3. To raise environmental awareness amongst
our community and have a cleaner
environment by helping each other.
4. To conduct a clean up and in this way, the
citizens would know the importance of the
environment and how they could contribute
in making our community a cleaner and safer
place to live.

11. BRIEF BACKGROUND
Barangay Lubing

12. Barangay Lubing
Barangay Lubing is one of the barangays of San Juan. The
estimated distance is about 1.5 kms from the town proper.

13. Our barangay is
headed by Brgy.
Captain Arthuro P.
Valdriz, the former
Mayor of San Juan.
He was the one
implementing the
projects together
with his co- officials.

14. Barangay Lubing has one public school.
LUBING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

15. It has also its own Botica ng Barangay and a Chapel.

16. The barangay has also its Multi- Purpose Hall.

17. Barangay Lubing has its own rules and regulations regarding
CLEANLINESS AND SANITATION in the community. The following are
the activities and good practices being carried out in our barangay.
1. MEETINGS /BARANGAY ASSEMBLIES
During meetings, the Captain discusses the needs for improvement in the
barangay, the plans and other projects. I, myself had been going to assemblies
and it really helps a lot in educating the people in the community.

18. 2. Health Education
3. Beautification Project
4. Backyard/School Gardening
5. Danggayan
6. Mental and Dental Missions
7. Vaccination of Dogs
8. Responsible Pet Ownership Program
9. No to Drugs Program
10. CLEAN UP DRIVES
These activities are being practiced by all of us
in the community.

19. As a result, our barangay had won various plaques
for being one of the CLEANEST AND GREENEST
BARANGAY in La Union and had competed for
Nationals too.

20. My project “The Change I want
to See.. Starts with me” is not a
new one, because I had just
adopted the Cleaning Project of
our Barangay. But in my case,
My ultimate goal is to
ENCOURAGE TEENAGERS to
join in such environmental
programs.
With the help of one another, we had come up with a great
result. And up to now, we are still practicing CLEANLINESS in
every part of our community.

21. Instead of just staying
at home, with just
their gadgets with
them (Teens), Why
don’t they Stand Up
and Help in
maintaining the
cleanliness in the
community with their
own little ways?
This project may just be a small one. But for me.. This
SMALL ONE CAN MAKE A BIG CHANGE ALREADY.

22. LET US KEEP OUR BARANGAY
CLEAN & GREEN
“Let’s make it a place to live in.”

23. PROJECT ACTIVITY
“The Change I want to see.. Starts with ME.”

24. How did I came up with this project?
1. I ask my friends and my former elementary
classmates to help me in my Clean Up Project.
2. I posted an Announcement at some parts of the
barangay so that other concern citizens who are
willing to help are all welcome.
3. I went to our Barangay Captain, but unfortunately
he was not around that time so I just informed the
Barangay Secretary about the said clean up.

25. How did I came up with this project?
4. Just the day after I went to the office of our
Barangay Captain, his secretary texted me and
informed me that on the same day of my clean up
drive project will also be the General Cleaning of our
barangay. We come up to a decision of making my
project on February 17, 2013 (first cleaning day) and
we will be working together with the whole
barangay all at once. The second Cleaning day
happened last March 3, 2013

38. “THE CHANGE I WANT TO
SEE.. STARTS WITH ME.”

42. Alongside with the General Cleaning in our Barangay,
we also have the “Tapat ko, Linis ko. Aso ko, Tali ko.”
which was implemented and done everyday.

44. And as a member of our barangay, I am assigned to
clean our backyard everyday.

45. And in all that projects, every family is concern. One of
this was the “BACKYARD GARDENING”. We are imposed
to plant vegetables along our houses and I am proud
that we do also did it. Together with my little sister, we
planted eggplant and squash in our backyard.

46. RESULT OF THE PROJECT:
During the first clean up, I have observed that only
few teens had helped in cleaning. But on the second
time, I can say that there is an improvement. My
friends and elementary classmates joined me in the
clean up activity.
The whole barangay was so clean and the canals are
now in order. The grassses had been cut and in
some parts, the canals had been cemented also.

47. AFTER THE CLEAN UP 

48. BEFORE AFTER
CANALS had been CEMENTED for the BETTER.

49. CONCLUSION:
Through our simple ways, we can already help a lot to
our Nature. In my project, I can say that no matter what
happen.. Still, Our hands knows the best. We are the Hope
of the Nation.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I am hoping that generations today will realize the worth of
the environment., thus I want to suggest to our SK Council in
our barangay to put up or make other related programs like
in Proper Waste Disposal and Tree Planting Activities.
