Angelo Agcaoili said the initiative is timely as cases of dengue have been occurring in other local government units.“Dito sa San Juan, hindi natin papayagan na mangyari ‘yan.” “Let us do on our own. Let us do our part.” he declared, urging residents to take personal responsibility in keeping their surroundings clean.  Emphasizing the importance of collective efforts, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) San Juan City Director Adrian Lopez expressed full support, announcing that the program includes monetary incentives for barangays that excel in cleanliness.He said, “Ito po ay isang kompetisyon na may halong kooperasyon.” “Ito po ay isang panawagan. Panawagan po na bawat isa sa atin ay magtulungan na gawing mas malinis, mas ligtas, at mas malusog ang ating lungsod sa pagpapalakas po ng ating Lingguhang clean-up drive.”, he added.The Metrooilitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Department of Health (DOH) also pledged their support. MMDA Solid Waste Management Office Director Josias Syquimsiam linked the program to the Metro Manila Flood Management Project and the Road to Zero Waste Program, while DOH Assistant Regional Director Karen Fernandez called for proactive community participation.  Zamora urged San Juaneños to instill discipline in maintaining cleanliness. “Hindi po natin dapat iasa lang sa barangay o City Hall,” he stressed.“Linisin natin ang ating paligid upang hindi magkasakit ang ating mga mahal sa buhay.”, he added.  To further motivate barangays, they introduced a cash prize system for the cleanest barangays where in the champion will receive P200,000, second placer will have P100,000, and P50,000 for the third placer. The winners will be announced in November 2025.“This is a competition and cooperation at the same time,” Mayor Zamora explained. “I’m a believer in “positive reinforcement”. ‘Pag meron kang magandang ginagawa, may gantimpala ka.”The Gawad Kalinisan program and initiative of San Juan is now a sustainable, yearly program that will forever cement the city&#x27;s character in cleanliness and the welfare of the public.
