Serbisyo Publiko: Napakabahong creek sa Villa Dolores Sto Domingo, Angeles City
As a countryside reporter, I’ve come across numerous environmental issues, but this one in Angeles City demands urgent attention. Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr., the residents of Villa Dolores Subdivision in Sto. Domingo are grappling with a significant problem: wastewater flowing through the commercial district and into the open creek near their community.
The smell, at times, becomes unbearable, making it difficult for residents to go about their daily lives. This creek, meant to be a natural feature of the area, has turned into a channel for polluted water, raising questions about its source—be it from nearby businesses or other origins upstream.
Mayor Lazatin, your administration has been lauded for its environmental initiatives, especially the septic management program that ensures proper waste disposal while promoting community involvement. This issue now calls for the same dedication and swift action. Investigating and resolving this problem would not only alleviate the residents’ struggles but also reinforce your commitment to environmental protection.
The people trust in your leadership, and I believe this is a moment to show them that their faith is well-placed. Let’s work together to ensure a cleaner, healthier Angeles City for everyone.
