‘Green Hour’ urged in Palawan government offices

PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan — A member of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan here has called on Palawan Governor Jose Alvarez to implement her proposed “Green Hour” inside provincial government offices to promote cleanliness among employees.

The said hour was proposed this week by Board Member Marivic Roxas, who said Friday that her goal is for employees of the provincial government to participate in a 30-minute a month cleanliness drive inside their offices.

“We are not the first to implement this Green Hour. If ever the governor allows this, this is in support of the anti-littering campaign in the province,” she said.

Roxas said it is a simple way for offices in the Capitol Building to contribute to the cleanliness of their immediate environment.

“This will enable all employees to participate without the need to go outside the building to cleanliness and orderliness. It will also encourage everyone to live a greener lifestyle and spread awareness on keeping our surroundings cleaner and healthier,” she said.

Roxas added employees can participate in the activity 30 minutes before office dismissal time at 5:00 p.m.

“It is proposed to be during the last Friday of each month. The activity will also work on improving office dynamics among employees,” she stated. (Celeste Anna Formoso/PNA)
