A hidden natural treasure has been discovered in Barangay Dinaratan, Salcedo, Ilocos Sur - the rare and endemic Jade Vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys), locally known as “Tayabak.”

Known for its breathtaking turquoise flowers and featured on the back of the Philippine five-peso coin, the Jade Vine is a symbol of the country’s rich biodiversity and healthy forest ecosystems. Its presence in the upland forests of Dinaratan confirms that parts of the area remain ecologically intact and capable of supporting rare and sensitive species.

First recorded on April 25, 2026 by Mr. Joseph Masanda, Mr. Reynand Jake Bacdayan, and Mr. Aron Balluguing, and subsequently validated on May 8, 2026 by the MENRO staff, with the assistance of Mr. John Luquingan from the said barangay, this discovery highlights the urgent need to protect and conserve our remaining natural habitats.

May this discovery serve as a powerful reminder that safeguarding our forests also means preserving the rare and remarkable wildlife and plant species that make the Philippines one of the world’s richest centers of biodiversity.

Let us continue to protect and nurture our environment, promote sustainable conservation practices, and treasure our natural heritage so that future generations may continue to witness, appreciate, and benefit from the beauty and richness of our country’s unique ecosystems.

The Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Management Office (PENRMO) conducted a monitoring activity on the operations of the LGU’s Residual Containment Area (RCA) and Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) to ensure compliance with Republic Act No. 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.

The activity was conducted on March 27, 2026 at the LGU’s Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), with representatives from the PENRMO in coordination with the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO).

During the monitoring, Ms. Angel May I. Ibo assessed facility operations, waste segregation practices, and overall management systems to ensure compliance with Republic Act 9003. Technical guidance and recommendations were provided to further strengthen the municipality’s waste management implementation. She also encouraged the continued conduct of waste diversion programs and initiatives such as producing CHB, ecobricks, plant pots made from pulverized glass bottles, and other recycled by-products to help reduce waste volume.

This initiative highlights the LGU’s ongoing commitment to promoting proper waste management practices, protecting the environment, and sustaining compliance with Republic Act 9003.

The Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) proudly presented a range of innovative recycling and upcycling projects during the Salcedo Town Fiesta held last March 17 to 19, 2026 at Poblacion Sur playground, Salcedo, Ilocos Sur.

The exhibits demonstrated how various waste materials can be transformed into functional and decorative products, promoting sustainable practices among the community.

Featured creations included flower art made from plastic straws and bottle caps, anthurium plants crafted from single-use plastics, paper briquettes produced from scrap paper, eco-blocks and plant pots made from a mixture of sand, portland cement, and crushed glass bottles, as well as flamingo statue assembled from scrap metals and coconut shells.

This initiative highlights the importance of reducing waste, reusing resources, and protecting the environment. By turning waste into useful opportunities, MENRO encourages residents to help build a greener and more eco-friendly community.

The Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) led the installation of “Clean-As-You-Go” (CLAYGO) reminders, “Bring Your Own Tumbler” signs, labeled garbage bins, and waste collection schedules in key public areas on March 15–16, 2026.

These materials were strategically placed in the public market, municipal hall, schools, Primary Health Care Facility, food court, Agri-Trade Fair, and the Municipal Covered Court to promote proper waste segregation, minimize single-use plastics, and encourage active community participation in maintaining cleanliness ahead of the Town Fiesta.

Through these initiatives, MENRO reinforces the municipality’s commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable waste management, encouraging everyone to follow CLAYGO practices, use reusable tumblers, and observe proper waste disposal for a greener Salcedo.

Last February 12, 2026, technical personnel from DENR Region I conducted the annual environmental compliance monitoring at the Primary Health Care Facility of Salcedo to assess adherence to Republic Act 6969, RA 8749, and RA 9275, including their Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).

The monitoring evaluated hazardous waste management, air quality control, and wastewater management to ensure environmental protection and public health. Minor deficiencies related to the operation of the generator set and wastewater discharge were initially identified; however, these were promptly addressed through corrective actions, resulting in improved compliance and strengthened environmental management practices.

The activity emphasized the importance of continuous improvement and strengthened the Salcedo Primary Health Care Facility’s commitment to environmentally responsible and eco-friendly operations.
