The Office of the Mayor is conducting symposia about the Baguio City Dumpsite Proposal. One was held at the Aringay National Highschool in the morning, another in the afternoon at the ACES where all teachers from the different schools of our town were required to attend. Those who attended didn’t know that the attendance sheet they signed will be used as an attatchment to a petition favoring the proposal of Baguio with regards to the dumping of garbage in Aringay. It is interesting to note that all the resource speakers in the symposia are municipal employees under the mayor who are all “ALIENS” in Aringay! Imagine these “ALIENS” convincing citizens of our town for them to agree the dumping of “ALIEN GARBAGE” in our beautiful Aringay!!! Talks abound that the attendance sheet signed by the different barangay officials, BHW’s and CVO’s during the June 12 celebration of our Independence Day will also be used as an attatchement to a petition favoring the dumping of Baguio garbage in Aringay.

Pretty smooth move, but we Aringayenos know better!!! More updates to come. Huwag kayong kukurap/ku-currupt! Hahaha.
