The Iloilo City Government has declared Saturdays a Cleanup Day.
Iloilo City Mayor Raisa Treñas, through Executive Order (EO) No. 18, Series of 2025, has declared cleanup day every Saturday, year-round, with the kickoff set on July 12, 2025.
According to the EO, barangay officials should focus tightly on maintaining cleanliness of drainages, creeks, canals, and other places that are possible breeding grounds of pests and parasites.
The mayor has urged city residents to take part in the cleanup drive, beginning at their own yards as the easiest way to prevent cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever and leptospirosis.
“Sa mga barangay officials natin na kailangan ng assistance ng lungsod, technical assistance, pwede silang maka-send ng letter sa atin in advance upang mapadalhan ng City Hall employees," Joy Fantilaga-Gorzal, the mayor’s spokesperson, said.
