CITY
SCAVENGERS. Mang Alfred and his wife Ningning gather usable
and salable items from discarded materials and garbage of
commercial establishments and households in Naga City. The couple,
together with their two sons ages 3 & 7, hit the streets after
they were refused entry to the Balatas Dumpsite after the City’s
Material Recovery Facility (MRF) started its operation more than a
year ago. They claimed, only accredited scavengers were allowed in
the city dumpsite. After scraping the city garbage, the family
earned an average of 150 pesos a day, which were spent mostly on
food. Daily scavenging is what tide over these poor family in
their wretched condition. JOEY CO
A
DAY IN THE LIFE of Camarines Sur Headstart Preschoolers at
their newest center located within the Provincial Capitol Complex,
Cadlan, Pili that opened this month catering to the children of
capitol employees. Gov. LRay Villafuerte has equipped the
Headstart Center with the latest educational gadgets and
facilities including computers in order to fully utilize and
maximize the Montessori approach to learning. There are, at
present, 41 Camarines Sur Headstart Centers spread out in the 35
towns and two cities of the province as there are still clamors
from far-flung LGUs and community leaders to establish more such
centers in their locales to be able to serve a growing population
of preschool-age children seeking free quality education. JMTS/DANTE
