BONGAO, Tawi-Tawi —Bongao, the capital town of the province of Tawi-Tawi, celebrates its 66th founding anniversary today, July 1.
Now at 66 years old, if Bongao were human, it would be considered a sexagenarian, aged between 60 and 69. Bongao, as a municipality, can be seen as undergoing its own developmental stages. Metaphorically considering Bongao at its 66th anniversary: In terms of physical development, Bongao may show signs of maturity in its infrastructure and urban development compared to other municipalities in the province and even across the region.
In terms of cognitive development, Bongao possesses a wealth of awards and recognitions, accumulated knowledge and experience in stable governance and community development, serving as a model among local government units in the province and regionally. However, with rapid demographic changes due to migration and population growth, local services must adapt. Immigration alters socio-cultural dynamics, necessitating adjustments and priorities in the local development plan.
Bongao has made commendable efforts in collecting daily household and commercial wastes at strategic points. Kudos to its Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office team for their efficient work! However, critical actions such as waste segregation and recycling at the institutional level, alongside behavior change among constituents and visitors, are some of the sustainable actions needed for the long haul.
Let us support and promote local businesses by buying and preferring healthy products and local produce. Let us opt for sustainable transportation methods when possible, such as walking and cycling. This way we help reduce traffic congestion and lower carbon emissions.
