Masskara festival street dance champs to win P1-M cash

BACOLOD CITY - A cash prize of PHP1 million, the biggest ever in the history of this city's Masskara Festival, awaits the grand champion of the street and arena dance competition set on the festivity's final day on Oct. 23. As of Thursday, some 17 barangays, including the defending champion Barangay Estefania, already confirmed their participation. Councilor Jason Villarosa, who chairs the City Council committee on tourism, said festival organizer Bacolod Yuhum Foundation Inc. is providing financial assistance of PHP500,000 each for the participating villages. This year, the arena competition will be held at a bigger venue, the Paglaum Sports Complex, after the event has been traditionally held at the Bacolod Public Plaza. Meanwhile, the grand champion of the Electric Masskara float and dance-off competition, which will be held at Megaworld's The Upper East and Bacolod Government Center, will receive a cash prize of PHP500,000. The 15 participating barangays are given cash assistance of PHP200,000 each, Villarosa said. "We are still finalizing the prizes for the runners-up," he added. The festival's 43rd edition is themed "Balik Yuhum", which translates to smile again or bring back the smile, a reference to Bacolod's tagline as the "City of Smiles". The three-week festivity will feature the Masskara Sports Olympics from Oct. 1 to 8; Masskara Trade Fair, from Oct. 10 to 16; and the Masskara cultural activities, which will mainly be the festival highlights until Oct. 23. The main festival sites will be at Lacson Street, Bacolod Public Plaza, and Bacolod City Government Center while extension sites will be opened at Baywalk at the Reclamation Area, Upper East, and Pana-ad Park and Stadium.

Bacolod City, garbage firm launch 'trash to cashback' program

TRASH TO CASH. The Trash to Cashback Program booth at the Bacolod City Government Center grounds on Monday (Sept. 5, 2022). Through the program, residents of Bacolod are encouraged to properly segregate recyclables at the source and exchange these at a My Basurero Eco-community Center. (Photo courtesy of Councilor Kalaw Puentevella Facebook page) BACOLOD CITY - The city government here and its garbage collection contractor IPM-Construction and Development Corp. (IPM-CDC) launched on Monday the "Trash to Cashback" program that provides incentives for recyclable items brought to the community drop-off centers. Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez said the program is one way to achieve effective zero waste management, which is one of his administration's priority programs. "If your trash can be exchanged for cash, would you still throw it away? We are thinking that if the trash has value and we can get something out of it, you would not want to throw it away anymore," Benitez said in his talk before the city employees during the flag-raising ceremony at the Bacolod Government Center grounds. He acknowledged that waste segregation at the source has been very difficult to do despite years of campaigns conducted by the government and environmental groups. "I've been hearing about segregation for several years now. All the local government units, the national government, and the non-government organizations say we need to segregate, but it is very difficult to do. It's hard to discipline people to segregate at source," he added. Through the program, residents of Bacolod are encouraged to properly segregate recyclables at the source and exchange these at My Basurero Eco-community (MBE-C) Centers. Lester Mateo, IPM-CDC representative, said they aim to educate every Bacolodnon in the barangays, communities, and private establishments on proper segregation of waste at source. "All recyclable items will be incentivized. We will provide you with environmental points (EP) for every kilogram. The MBE-C Centers accept plastics, papers, and metals," he added. To earn a cashback, an individual must create an account at bxtra.com.ph of bXTRA Philippines, the official cashback partner of the Trash to Cashback Program, using one valid email address, or scan the QR (quick response) code at the IPM-CDC booth, where the registered user can claim his or her cashback card. Through this account, the user will receive EP, which is equivalent to cashback that can be used to redeem grocery items, food, drinks, and other items. (PNA) }
