500 TODA Members Join Las Piñas City Cleanup Drive

Recently in Las Piñas City, five hundred members of different tricycle operators and drivers’ associations (TODAs) got involved in the cleanup drive through their respective barangays, 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…

Five hundred members of various tricycle operators and drivers’ associations (TODA) in Las Piñas City have been deployed to their respective barangays to carry out community cleanup activities under the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program.

Mayor April Aguilar said the beneficiaries have started their 10-day work assignment, where they will assist in cleaning creeks, public markets, roads, and other areas identified by the city government.

Aguilar said that some of the workers were deployed with personnel from the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) to help clear and clean creeks as part of the city’s efforts to maintain clean waterways and reduce the risk of flooding.

She said that others were assigned to cleanup activities in public markets and along roads in their respective barangays.

The mayor said that each beneficiary will receive P755 per day for 10 days, or a total of P7,550, for the services they render under the program.

She said that Public Employment Service Office (PESO) head Red Garcia and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Muntinlupa-Parañaque-Las Piñas (Muntaparlas) Director Jeremiah Carlos, conducted the orientation before the workers were deployed.

#Cuba - #Solarpowered #tricycles help #Cubans navigate #FuelShortages and blockades

HAVANA (AP) — "Cuba’s iconic vintage cars have all but disappeared and in their place, small electric tricycles — most of them made in China — have become the primary means of transportation for hundreds of thousands of Cubans grappling with a prolonged fuel crisis.
These are no ordinary electric tricycles — many Cubans have outfitted them with #SolarPanels, allowing the vehicles to recharge without relying on the island nation’s strained power grid.

"The three-wheelers are a far cry from the old-timers that only a year ago cruised the streets spewing clouds of black smoke.

" 'This is how people get around now,' said 40-year-old Liecer de la Cruz, who owns one of these vehicles.

"The tricycles, with a cost between $2,000 and $4,000, are used to transport goods and serve fixed routes once covered by buses.

"While their price is out of reach for most Cubans, many have sold their older gasoline-powered cars to buy the tricycles. Others got them from relatives abroad, where they are generally cheaper, and some small-business owners even used their profits to invest in them, expecting to recoup the cost."
