P3 Million In Fuel Saved By Muntinlupa City Government

As the prices of fuel have skyrocketed nationwide, the City Government of Muntinlupa managed to save P3 million worth of fuel in a 2-week period as a result of local energy conservation measures, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

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

The Muntinlupa City government has saved 31,000 liters of fuel, equivalent to P3 million, in two weeks as part of its energy conservation measures.

“Happy to report na mahigit 31,000 liters o katumbas na P3 milyon na halaga ng fuel ang natipid ng Pamahalaang Lungsod sa loob lamang ng dalawang linggo mula nang ipatupad natin ang austerity at energy conservation measure (Happy to report that the City Government has saved more than 31,000 liters or the equivalent of P3 million worth of fuel in just two weeks since we implemented austerity and energy conservation measures),” Mayor Ruffy Biazon announced.

The city government implemented the measures in compliance with the directive of Malacañang to all government agencies to implement austerity measures due to the Middle East crisis.

Biazon thanked employees of city and national government offices, including the police, fire station, who cooperated in the prudent use of resources.

Included in the city government’s measures is the strategic planning of vehicle trips and strict implementation of “official use only” for government vehicles.

He said in electricity, the city government is expected to save on consumption.

“Nagpatupad tayo ng compressed 4-day work week (maliban sa frontline offices at responders), itinakda ang thermostat sa 24°C (binawasan din nang dalawang oras ang paggamit ng aircon sa lahat ng tanggapan at ang pagpatay ng ilang ilaw sa mga tanggapan sa City Hall), at naglatag ng iba pang energy conservation measures sa ating mga tanggapan (We have implemented a compressed 4-day work week (except for frontline offices and responders), set the thermostat to 24°C (also reducing the use of air conditioning in all offices by two hours and turning off some lights in offices at City Hall), and implemented other energy conservation measures in our offices),” the mayor said.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, are you satisfied with the energy conservation measures implemented by the City Government?

As such, The Love of My Father is needed for our worship of the Lord and to deepen our relationship with Him. Lift yourselves up with the Planetshakers music video below.

#6 HolyLandSite Israel Videos – I have said it before and I will say it again. Israel is the land God designated to the Jewish people and He sent His only begotten Son Lord Jesus to them to save the lost and unsaved. Israel is the Holy Land and the many miracles and breakthroughs that happened there were recorded in the Holy Bible. Having toured Israel myself, I can clearly say that the Holy Bible came to life in front of me when I visited the holy sites.

In ending this Holy Week Special, I share with you the following scriptures from the Holy Bible.

Jesus answered him,

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.

John 3:3 (AMPC)

Grace and spiritual blessing be to you and [soul] peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah),

Who gave (yielded) Himself up [to atone] for our sins [and to save and sanctify us], in order to rescue and deliver us from this present wicked age and world order, in accordance with the will and purpose and plan of our God and Father—

To Him [be ascribed all] the glory through all the ages of the ages and the eternities of the eternities! Amen (so be it).

Galatians 1:3-5 (AMPC)

For God is one, and there is one Mediator between God and the sons of men—the true man, Jesus, the Anointed One.

1 Timothy 2:5 (TPT)

Thank you for your time. Always move forward with uncompromising faith in the Lord. Always remember that Lord Jesus is the hope of ALL nations as He is God’s son as well as the Anointed Mediator between the Heavenly Father and men. Also pray to the Lord to support Israel, its people and for the peace of Jerusalem.

Remember that God always loves the faithful and Lord Jesus is absolutely the hope of ALL nations!

Muntinlupa GO Bags Released To Residents Living Along West Valley Fault

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, the City Government of Muntinlupa officially started distributing GO Bags (emergency kits filled with essential supplies good for 72 hours) to the local residents living along the West Valley Fault, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.

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

The Muntinlupa City government started distributing go-bags to families living along the West Valley Fault, which transects several cities.

A go-bag is an emergency kit containing essential supplies that can be used in the first 72 hours of a disaster. It aims to help families be ready in times of earthquake or other emergencies.

The city government distributed the bags to families in Purok Uno, Mendiola Street, in Barangay Alabang through the Muntinlupa City Department of Disaster Resilience and Management.

Priority in the distribution of go-bags are families living along the fault line and areas considered as high-risk in ground movement.

“Unang tanong ng marami: bakit hindi lahat? Simple lang ang sagot—may prioritization tayo. Unang binibigyan ang mga pamilyang nasa high-risk areas, lalo na yung malapit sa West Valley Fault. Sila ang pinakaunang maaapektuhan sakaling magkaroon ng malakas na lindol, kaya doon tayo unang tumutok (The first question many people ask: why not everyone? The answer is simple—we prioritize. Families in high-risk areas are given first, especially those near the West Valley Fault. They are the first to be affected in the event of a major earthquake, so that is where we focus first),” said Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon.

He added, “Hindi ito tungkol sa kung sino ang mauuna lang makatanggap; tungkol ito sa kung saan pinaka-kailangan (It is not about who will receive it first; it is about where it is needed most).”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, do you think more GO Bags should be released to more households in the city in the near future?

Muntinlupa City Opposes Parañaque Spillway Project

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, Mayor Ruffy Biazon formally signed a resolution from the City Council which opposes the implementation of the Parañaque Spillway Project as it will negatively affect local residents, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

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

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon signed a City Council resolution opposing the Parañaque Spillway Project which will displace families in the city.

Muntinlupa Resolution No. 2026-275 reiterates “the City of Muntinlupa’s opposition to the implementation of Paranaque Spillway Project.”

“Pinirmahan ko ang Resolution No. 2026-275 na muling nagpapatibay sa opisyal na pagtutol ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa sa Parañaque Spillway Project. Noon pang unang termino ko, malinaw na ang posisyon natin dito. Tutol tayo dahil sa direktang epekto sa komunidad, lao sa mga lehitimong residenteng madi-displace ng proyekto (I signed Resolution No. 2026-275 which reaffirms the official opposition of the City of Muntinlupa to the Parañaque Spillway Project. Since my first term, our position on this has been clear. We oppose it because of the direct impact on the community, especially on the legitimate residents who will be displaced by the project), said Biazon.

Biazon said in 2022 the city held a public hearing about the project. In 2023, Biazon sent a letter to the Department of Public Works and Highways to express his opposition to the project. A resolution was passed in 2024 about this.

“Maging ang ating mga barangay ay nagpahayag na rin ng pagtutol, gaya ng naging desisyon ng Barangay Buli noong 2021 na humihiling na ilipat ang proyekto sa mas angkop na lugar. Sa pinakahuling resolusyon na primarily authored by Konsehal Jonas Abadilla, binibigyang-diin din na bumubuo ang lungsod ng isang komprehensibong drainage master plan para sa pangmatagalang solusyon sa pagbaha sa Muntinlupa (Even our barangays have expressed their opposition, such as the decision of Barangay Buli in 2021 requesting the relocation of the project to a more suitable location. In the latest resolution primarily authored by Councilor Jonas Abadilla, it is also emphasized that the city is developing a comprehensive drainage master plan for a long-term solution to flooding in Muntinlupa),” the mayor added.

The new resolution stated that the DPWH announced that the project will proceed this year.

In February, Biazon signed a memorandum of agreement with the “University of the Philippines (UP), for the formulation of Drainage Master Plan for the City Of Muntinlupa, aimed to develop its Drainage Master Plan (DMP), which will serve as the basis for the city’s comprehensive flood management strategy.”

“The City of Muntinlupa reiterates its stand that The Project proponents should present concrete alternate solutions that will lessen/mitigate The Project’s impact on the constituents of the City, more particularly the people of Barangay Buli,” according to the resolution.

It added, “The sentiments of the most affected barangay in the City of Muntinlupa was embodied in Kapasiyahang Barangay ng Buli Bilang 018-2021 Serye 2021 or Kapasiyahang Barangay na Naglalayong Ipalipat sa Orihinal na Planong Pagtatayuan nito o sa iba pang Angkop na Lugar ang Proyekto ng Gobyerno na ‘Paranaque Spillway.’” 

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, are you concerned that the Parañaque Spillway Project will displace local residents and worsen flooding in the city? Do you think the DPWH will eventually listen to the City Government and halt the project?
