From Drain to Gain: Cogon's Wastewater Makeover

COURTESY: CIO

Great news, neighbors! Cogon now has a second Wastewater Treatment Facility, and we couldn't be happier. Honestly, it feels like a breath of fresh air for the whole city.

Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) funded the project, so the city gets modern infrastructure without carrying the full cost.

First, cleaner water means healthier communities. The facility treats wastewater before it reaches our rivers and seas.

Moreover, it protects local livelihoods. Fishers, vendors, and families all benefit when the environment stays clean. As a result, everyone enjoys a safer, more pleasant place to live.

Of course, this success did not happen overnight. Thanks to Mayor Rolando 'Klarex' A. Uy and Kag. Edgar S. Cabanlas, Chair of the Committee on Economic Enterprise, for their constant support to our campaign that led to the acquisition of the second Wastewater Treatment Facility in Cogon funded by JICA.

Their leadership kept the campaign moving, even when challenges popped up. Indeed, their commitment shows what teamwork achieves.

Now, we keep the momentum going. Residents can help by disposing of waste responsibly and following local guidelines. Every small effort counts.

Together, we will protect this investment. After all, a clean Cogon belongs to everyone, so let's take care of it.

Clearing the Way: How a Little Creek Cleanup Is Keeping Bulua Dry

Nobody enjoys waking up to rising water. That's why the Oplan Kontra Baha (OKB) program, led by President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., puts flood prevention at the front of its agenda. Recently, the DPWH Cagayan de Oro City 1st District Engineering Office carried out vegetation clearing at Sapang Creek in Barangay Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City.

First, the crew moved in and cut away the overgrown plants clogging the creek. As a result, they cleared 5 linear meters of the waterway. That may sound small, but every cleared meter helps water flow freely instead of piling up.

Think of a creek like a drain in your kitchen sink. When something blocks it, water has nowhere to go. Similarly, thick weeds and debris slow the current and push floodwater into nearby homes. Therefore, clearing the creek reduces the threat and danger of flooding in the community.

Of course, one cleanup won't solve everything. Still, it shows that local engineers are taking action rather than waiting for the next storm. Moreover, residents can help by keeping their waterways free of trash.

In short, small steps like this build bigger protection. Stay safe, Bulua!
