Noong nakaraang biyernes nagkaroon ng Cardona Island Barangay visitation ang MENRO-SWMO Team kasama ang RPG- BUSILAK Patrollers na pinamumunuan ni Sir Tracy Tungque at ang MENRO ng Cardona Sir William P. Julian, jr.

Nakakatuwang isipin na kahit malayo sa atin ang mga barangay na ito ay napapanatili pa din nila ang kalinisan sa kanilang mga barangay lalong lalo na sa mga daanang Tubig, maging ang kanilang Material Recovery Facility(MRF) ay malinis at nakasa-ayos.

Maraming salamat po sainyong nakakabusog na pagsalubong,

Patuloy lang po natin suportahan ang programa ng Ynares Eco-System (YES) para sa isang Cardonang Responsable na Tahimik, Malinis, Magandang kapaligiran pa.
