Urban agriculture in Las Piñas City got boosted recently as hydroponics farming has been promoted locally the City Government’s agriculture office, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…

The Las Piñas City Agriculture Office continues to strengthen its urban agriculture program by conducting free hydroponics training sessions for residents across different communities in the city.

Mayor April Aguilar said the activity introduced participants—including urban gardeners and aspiring home growers—to modern and sustainable farming techniques that can be practiced even in limited spaces.

During the training, agriculture personnel demonstrated the fundamentals of hydroponics, a soil-free farming method that uses nutrient-rich water solutions to grow plants.

Aguilar noted that participants learned about the benefits of the technology, including increased crop productivity, efficient water use, and the ability to cultivate vegetables and other crops in urban communities where land is scarce.

As part of the program, the City Agriculture Office also distributed free seedlings and seeds to attendees to help them start or expand their own home gardens.

The initiative is part of the city’s ongoing efforts to promote food security, environmental sustainability, and community self-sufficiency.

By equipping residents with practical knowledge and planting materials, the local government aims to encourage more families to produce fresh, nutritious food while fostering a culture of urban farming.

Recently in Las Piñas City, the new food cart program was expanded to include more families so they could improve their livelihoods and be able to start small-sized businesses of their own, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…

Fifteen families in Las Piñas City have been given a fresh opportunity to improve their livelihoods after the city government distributed additional food carts under its ongoing assistance program.

Mayor April Aguilar announced that the food carts were awarded to selected beneficiaries to help them start small businesses and generate extra income for their households. This latest batch of recipients adds to the six families who received food carts on May 2.

Some of those earlier beneficiaries have already launched ventures this summer, selling refreshing “samalamig” drinks and popular street food favorites known as “tusok-tusok.”

These affordable snacks not only bring joy to local communities but also provide steady earnings for the families involved.

The beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the assistance, saying the food carts would help them meet their daily needs and give them a chance to build a more stable source of livelihood for their families.

The mayor said the local government remains committed to implementing programs that create jobs and livelihood opportunities for Las Piñeros as part of the city’s continuing efforts to improve the quality of life of its residents.

As part of its preparations for the rainy season, the Las Piñas City government has completed dredging and desilting operations along an 870-meter stretch of the Las Piñas River, reinforcing its commitment to flood mitigation and environmental protection.

The cleanup, led by the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), covered portions of Barangays Pulanglupa Uno, Pulanglupa Dos, and Manuyo Dos.

The initiative aims to improve water flow, remove accumulated silt and debris, and reduce the risk of flooding in nearby communities.

According to Aguilar, maintaining unobstructed waterways is a key component of its disaster preparedness program. By removing sediment buildup from rivers and drainage channels, the city hopes to minimize flooding and protect residents and properties from the effects of severe weather.

She emphasized that similar environmental and flood-control initiatives will continue through CENRO as part of the city government’s long-term strategy to safeguard communities and preserve the environment.

Panel By DHSUD To Check Concerns Of Homeowners’ Association In Las Piñas City

Panel By DHSUD To Check Concerns Of Homeowners’ Association In Las Piñas City

carlocarrasco

In response to the concerns of members of a particular homeowners’ association (HOA) in Las Piñas City, the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) announced the creation of a panel to preside over the community’s election of new officers, according to a news report by The Manila Times.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from The Manila Times news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) on Monday said that it would create an interim poll body in connection with the election of new officers of a village homeowners’ association in Las Piñas City.

A ranking official of the agency told The Manila Times the DHSUD’s National Capital Region (NCR) office has been assigned to look into the concerns of the members of the Woodridge Homeowners Association Inc. (WHAI) in Barangay Pulang Lupa.

The official said the NCR office will issue an order on Monday for the appointment of an interim committee that will preside over the election.

Earlier last week, WHAI members warned that chaos could mar the homeowners’ association election-related proceedings at the Woodridge Subdivision unless the DHSUD stepped in.

The WHAI members have called on the department to intervene to stop alleged irregularities by members of an interim electoral body who were recently appointed by the agency itself.

Former WHAI president Joselito Chua said the intervention of the DHSUD would prevent irregularities in the election of board members of the village. Chua’s group claimed that the interim board failed to comply with the 30-day requirement for the organization of an election committee (Elecom) as required under Section 8(b) of DHSUD Memorandum Circular 2025-003.

“Notwithstanding such lapse, the remaining members of the interim board proceeded with the conduct of a general assembly and election-related activities on April 12, 2026,” the group said. Chua said they filed a formal notice of non-compliance and request for clarification, but “the interim board proceeded with the activity, the election of Elecom members.”
