A recognizable rehabilitation
Las Piñas City, one of the fastest growing cities in Metro Manila, was recently awarded the coveted “Best Practice Award for 2006” by the Dubai International Award and the United Nations Human Settlements Program through its Sagip-Ilog Project. Spearheaded by Senate President Manny Villar and Congresswoman Cynthia Villar, the project aims to preserve and revive the Las Piñas-Zapote River System while at the same time providing a viable source of income to the constituents. The program bested 650 best practices submissions from over 140 countries gathered by the Awards committee. Hardworking Rep. Cynthia Villar attributes the success of the program to the unwavering dedication of the people of Las Piñas in the continuous improvement of their living environment.
