Las Piñas City Government to Bring Vaccines to Public Schools

Recently in the City of Las Piñas, a school-based vaccination drive was launched and the City Government confirmed it will bring immunization vaccines straight to the public schools, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. Mayor April Aguilar attended the launch which was attended by a few hundred local students.

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

Nearly 300 pupils joined the launch of a school-based vaccination drive in Las Piñas City as the local government seeks to protect children against vaccine-preventable diseases.

Mayor April Aguilar said the Bakuna Eskwela 2026 program will bring immunization services directly to public schools, making it easier for eligible students to receive free vaccines without having to visit health facilities separately.

The vaccination drive was launched at Las Piñas Elementary School Central, with activities scheduled to continue in public schools across the city from October to December.

The program covers vaccines against measles, rubella, tetanus, and diphtheria, as well as human papillomavirus (HPV), which can cause certain types of cancer.

Aguilar said bringing vaccination services into schools provides a convenient way for children to access protection against preventable illnesses, while helping parents ensure their children receive the recommended immunizations.

The City Health Office, in coordination with the Department of Health-Metro Manila Center for Health Development and the Schools Division Office of Las Piñas, is implementing the program with the assistance of school administrators and health workers.

City health personnel and school officials are encouraging eligible students to participate in the vaccination drive.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, are you thankful to the City Government for the direct distribution of vaccines to public schools? Did many young students in your local community attend the vaccination drive?

President Marcos Orders Revival of Las Piñas Spillway

During his on-site inspection in Las Piñas City with the presence of Mayor April Aguilar, Congressman Mark Santos and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., ordered the revival of the Las Piñas Spillway which still remains incomplete for over a decade now, according to a news report by the Manila Standard.

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

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Tuesday ordered the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to revive and complete a long-delayed spillway in Las Piñas City, saying the project could significantly improve Metro Manila’s ability to drain floodwaters.

President Marcos issued the directive during an inspection of a high-vacuum self-priming drainage trailer pump at Alido Bridge in Barangay Zapote, as he assessed the effects of heavy rains that recently caused flooding in parts of the capital.

He said the Las Piñas spillway had been in the works for more than a decade but was never completed, and should now be revisited as part of the government’s broader flood-control strategy.

“Speaking of spillway, we really need to finish the spillway here in Las Piñas so there will be an outlet for the water, and that plan has been stalled for a long time,” the President told reporters.

Mr. Marcos said he had instructed DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon to review the existing plans, determine whether modifications were needed and move ahead with the project.

“Whatever needs to be done, we have to finish it,” the Chief Executive emphasized.

President Marcos described the spillway as a potentially significant component of flood-control efforts in the National Capital Region. He also credited renewed dredging activities with helping reduce the severity of recent flooding in Las Piñas.

Mr. Marcos said flooding that previously reached chest level was now below the knees in the area he inspected, while water was also receding faster because drainage channels had been cleared.

The President said the government had resumed dredging after a 12-year moratorium, which he said had contributed to rivers and spillways becoming increasingly shallow.

He said dredging would continue without interruption and would be carried out in coordination with local government units.

President Marcos also blamed garbage buildup in drainage channels for worsening flooding, particularly in Parañaque, saying some of the debris had been carried in from other areas and became trapped when high tide coincided with the opening of drainage channels.

He urged local governments and residents to improve waste disposal practices, warning that improperly discarded garbage could obstruct waterways and compound flooding.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Do you think the spillway in the city will somehow get completed during the remaining term of President Marcos? Are you hopeful the DPWH will get the job done?

Hydroponics Farming Promoted In Las Piñas City

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.

A total of 1,700 beneficiaries from Barangays Talon Uno, Talon Singko, Talon Tres, and Pilar received P3,000 each during the initial payout.

Another 2,200 senior citizens from Barangays Ilaya, Pamplona Uno, Manuyo Dos, Daniel Fajardo, and Elias Aldana got their cash assistance on April 20.

Aguilar said the distribution was “smooth, organized, and fast,” allowing elderly beneficiaries to conveniently receive their allowance without long delays.

136 Hired In Las Piñas City Job Fair

Out of several hundreds of locals who applied during the Mega Job Fair in Las Piñas City, one hundred and thirty-six successfully got hired, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.

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

Hundreds of jobseekers were given a fresh start as the city government successfully connected residents to employment opportunities during the Mega Job Fair in Las Piñas.

Las Piñas City Mayor April Aguilar said that the mega job fair themed “Sa Las Piñas, Lahat May Oportunidad” was held at the Robinson’s Place, which highlighted the city’s commitment to inclusive growth, ensuring that every Las Piñero—regardless of background—has access to livelihood opportunities.

Aguilar led the initiative alongside Public Employment Service Office (PESO) head Red Garcia and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) MuntiParLas Director Jeremiah T. Carlos.

She said that a total of 662 jobseekers registered for the event, including 10 persons with disabilities (PWDs), eight senior citizens, and 90 solo parents—underscoring the city’s inclusive approach to workforce development.

The mayor said that of the total number, 136 applicants were hired on the spot, among them five solo parents.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Do you hope the City Government will organize or sponsor more job fairs soon? How many people do you personally know got hired in any job fair held locally?
