The Provincial Government of Surigao Del Norte through the Provincial Environment and Management Office conducted the second “Search for the Clean and Green Municipality” competed by various municipalities from both mainland and Siargao Islands, last October 26, 2009. The Local Government Unit of Gigaquit was part of the itinerary on that scheduled date. The evaluators came from selected departments in the province such as: Provincial Health Office, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Interior and Local Government, Provincial Tourism and Culture Office and Provincial Planning and Development Office. Through the implementation of such initial hauling plan in the municipality, various educational campaign and information were also done by some officials concerned on the segregation of wastes and the existence of compost pit.
The evaluation procedures were guided by the department heads of the municipality, particularly the on-site visitation in schools both secondary and elementary level, rural health centers, barangay chapters and the practiced of waste segregation of the constituents through the existence of a resource recovery center. The purok Makiangayon in barangay Alambique served to be the model site for winning the 1st prize during the last purok fencing contest. The garden area in the health center was also visited featuring different kinds of vegetables in gardening procedures.
