Playbook

How the sitio makes things work.

Program pages tell the story and show the work. This playbook explains the habits behind it: who does what, how HAPAG stays alive, how cleanups stay on schedule, and how support is handled with trust.

How Dur-as Pammalian organizes the work

The movement runs on clear roles, simple plans, and neighbors who show up. Officers set direction; households and volunteers carry the day-to-day.

Who is involved

Board and all officers set priorities, keep records, and coordinate schedules.
Block or street leads help remind neighbors and report what needs attention.
Households own the stretch in front of their homes and the gardens they plant.
Young people join alongside elders so the habit stays in the sitio.

How it runs

1
Agree on a simple calendar (cleanup days, garden check-ins, park care).
2
Assign who calls neighbors, who brings tools, and who records attendance or needs.
3
After each activity, note what worked and what still needs follow-up.
4
Share updates through the Bulletin and barangay channels so everyone hears the same plan.

About the organization Documents

HAPAG — community-managed vegetable garden

HAPAG is the sitio’s community-managed vegetable garden: cared for together, meant to supplement household food—not to sell for income—and to grow the habit of planting at home.

Who is involved

Volunteers and the committee in-charge till, water, and care for the community hapag.
They share in the harvest, and anyone in the community who needs a vegetable may take one when something is available.
Households are encouraged to plant at home—in containers, recycled materials, or a yard corner—especially when dry months make the common garden hard to keep.
All officers (the Board) coordinate seed distributions, the Seeds and Seedlings Exchange, and fruit-tree sharing with partner offices.

How it runs

1
Tend the community-managed hapag as a shared food garden: small, thoughtfully planted, and not run as a commercial farm.
2
Care for it when water allows; in dry months (wells run low, irrigation no longer helps), the shared plot may struggle—so home gardens matter even more.
3
Invite households to plant at home: parents and children together, so food and responsibility grow beyond the common plot.
4
Run the Seeds and Seedlings Exchange—bring a seed or seedling, exchange for another—so planting materials keep moving from home to home.
5
Distribute partner-sourced materials (such as fruit-bearing trees) to households so one garden can become many.

Waste Management — MRF, segregation, and collection

Pammalian has no highway garbage pass and sits far from the barangay pickup point. Households reduce and segregate at home, use the MRF for recovery, and work with the barangay toward a closer collection stop.

Who is involved

Households compost biodegradables at home, segregate recyclables from residual waste, and bring only what belongs to the MRF or collection point.
The Pammalian Material Recovery Facility (MRF) receives properly segregated waste for sorting and recovery—not as a dump for mixed garbage.
A local magbabasura empties MRF containers regularly under a mutual arrangement: no payment for materials; in return he takes everything, with or without resale value.
All officers (the Board) work with the Barangay Council and City management on an additional highway pickup point nearer the sitio entrance or exit.

How it runs

1
Reduce what must be hauled: Pammalian is far from the barangay hall pickup (~2.3 km for the farthest homes), so cut volume—especially biodegradables—before any trip.
2
Compost at home: food scraps, peelings, leaves, and grass go in a household compost pit or suitable facility; use the compost in home gardens.
3
Segregate at source: keep recyclables apart from residual waste at the household storage area before anything leaves home.
4
Follow the MRF principle—compost what can be composted, recover what can be recovered, dispose properly of what remains—and bring only appropriate materials to the facility.
5
Keep the chain moving: households segregate → MRF receives → magbabasura collects → materials are recovered or properly disposed of. The MRF is not permanent storage.
6
Treat used disposable diapers as residual waste—not compost. Remove feces to a sanitary toilet when reasonable, bag securely, keep separate from compostables and recyclables, and never burn, bury in compost, or dump in the open.
7
Support closer collection: an added highway pickup near Pammalian should complement—not replace—home composting, segregation, and the MRF.

Kalinisan Day / Oplan Dalus Learn: waste & MRF

Oplan Dalus (Kalinisan Day) — schedule, zones, and household duty

Oplan Dalus and Kalinisan Day are the same practice: monthly community service under Tagnawa for cleanliness, repair, and environmental care—stewardship of the sitio, not only a civic duty.

Who is involved

At least one Regular Member (18+) per household must attend each regular or special session, unless a valid exemption applies.
Whole-family participation is welcome and voluntary: when more household members join beyond the required representative, that extra help is encouraged, not fined.
All officers (the Board) announce the session focus (cleaning, repair, or planting), may call ad hoc drives, and decide other excuse cases.
Homeowners keep their own road frontage and drainage; Oplan Dalus / Kalinisan Day covers shared zones, with help available for heavy tasks on request.
The Treasurer collects fines and receipts donations; fine and related funds are restricted to clean-up and beautification needs.

How it runs

1
Assemble every first Sunday of the month at 7:00 AM at Area 1 (Dap-Ayan). Special Oplan Dalus / Kalinisan Day sessions called by the officers carry the same mandatory weight.
2
Work the zones: Area 1 (Community Center / Dap-Ayan) and Area 2 (South Welcome Arch to Area 1) every session; rotate one of Areas 3–5 monthly so all stretches get equal care.
3
Know the areas: Area 3 = Area 1 to North (until Evelyn Habitan’s house); Area 4 = Area 1 to South End Boundary; Area 5 = Area 1 to East End Boundary.
4
Honor exemptions when they apply (e.g. seniors 70+ / PWDs with no able representative; verified sickness, hospital confinement, or mourning)—and frontage stays the homeowner’s day-to-day duty.
5
Attend on time: non-attendance ₱100 (collected promptly); tardiness ₱50 after 30 minutes; property damage = full repair/replacement cost. Four consecutive absences add a 50% Community Burden Surcharge on the fourth month and each month after until the streak breaks.
6
Pay fines within three months (10% compounded monthly interest after that). Donations are not a substitute for attendance—fines are deducted first; remainder is receipted as donation.
7
Use service credits when approved in advance (officer/committee work, logistics, barangay representation). Restricted fine funds go only to tools, infrastructure materials, beautification, and participant logistics.

Keeping the Sitio Clean Kalinisan Day program Documents

Keeping the Sitio Clean — everyday habit, not only cleanup day

Oplan Dalus (also called Kalinisan Day) matters, but lasting cleanliness depends on daily household discipline, clear reminders for residents and visitors, and regular shared action—not inspection alone.

Who is involved

Households manage their own waste, keep the area around their homes tidy, and avoid practices that burden neighbors.
Visitors, joggers, walkers, and others passing through—especially along the irrigation-road thoroughfare—are expected to take their litter with them or dispose of it properly.
The organization posts tarpaulin reminders and shares updates through official channels so policies, ordinances, and penalties are known before problems escalate.
Neighbors join Oplan Dalus / Kalinisan Day every first Sunday of the month (7:00 AM) to care for shared roads, pathways, and common spaces together.

How it runs

1
Treat cleanliness as everyday culture: do not wait for a scheduled cleanup to manage waste or maintain home frontages.
2
Protect shared thoroughfares: the irrigation road draws visitors for exercise—reminders make clear that litter left by passers-through is not the community’s burden alone.
3
Make expectations visible: install and maintain reminder tarpaulins that cite community policies and ordinances, including penalties, for education and prevention.
4
Reinforce through channels and this website: segregate, dispose responsibly, keep surroundings clean, and use the household compliance self-check for self-discipline rather than house-to-house inspection alone.
5
Hold Oplan Dalus / Kalinisan Day on schedule for shared spaces, then return to daily habits so Pammalian stays clean between sessions.

How the play park and learning visits are kept going

Laro at Aral needs a safe park, watchful streets, and a warm welcome when teachers or volunteers visit. Maintenance is shared, not left to one family.

Who is involved

Park caretakers check equipment, shade, and litter on a weekly look.
Neighbors help keep roads clear so children can walk and play safely.
Hosts greet visiting educators, set a gathering spot, and invite parents to stay involved.

How it runs

1
Walk the play park regularly: fix or report broken parts, clear trash, trim overgrowth.
2
Keep pathways open—no dumped waste or clutter that pushes children into traffic.
3
When a learning visit is planned, confirm place, time, materials, and who will assist.
4
After visits or busy play days, reset the space so the next group finds it ready.

How support is received and accounted for

Money, seedlings, tools, and time all help—but trust depends on clear handoff and honest reporting.

Who is involved

Treasurer and officers receive and record donations and material gifts.
Program leads request what they need and report how items were used.
Supporters (here or away) are thanked and pointed to public updates.

How it runs

1
Route cash and in-kind gifts through agreed officers; issue a simple acknowledgment.
2
Log what came in, what program it serves, and when it was used.
3
Post summaries on Transparency and the Bulletin when officers are ready to share figures.
4
Volunteer time is scheduled against real activities so help matches the calendar.
