The barangays doing their piece of "Weekly Kalinisan" aimed towards a clean and green Limasawa..๐
May 24-30, 2026
The Weekly Kalinisan drive is anchored in DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2023-133 and its reiteration under DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2024-001.These circulars institutionalize the "Barangay at Kalinisan Day" (BarKaDa), which mandates all barangays nationwide to actively support the LGU by conducting a weekly community-driven clean-up drives.
๐The Barangays are instructed to designate a specific day of the week for community cleanup, which includes clearing canals, dredging waterways, and ensuring proper waste segregation.
๐Local Ordinances: While the DILG circulars serve as the national policy directive, the DILG encourages local Sangguniang Barangays to pass an actual local ordinance establishing their specific weekly Kalinisan Day, which can include penalties for non-compliance.
๐ Solid Waste Management: At the national level, the overarching law for these cleanup and segregation efforts is Republic Act No. 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act), which the Kalinisan Program directly helps LGUs enforce.
