Marcos launches Kalinisan program

Kalinisan stands for Kalinga at Inisyatiba para sa Malinis na Bayan.

Marcos made the call in line with the celebration of Community Development Week and Community Development Day on Jan. 6.

“My friends, let us see in our barangay the changes we want for our nation,” the President said in a taped video message posted on the Presidential Communications Office’s Facebook account.

“Let our barangays be the laboratory of workable ideas, a showcase of what we can achieve together,” he said.

“Let’s start with cleanliness and orderliness,” Marcos said, noting that Filipinos do not deserve dirty, dingy or dark communities.

“At the end of the day, it is not only modern equipment that will win the war against waste. It will be won by citizens equipped with the habit not to litter and whose allegiance to a clean and green community has become second nature to them,” he said.
