“OUR QUARRY is anchored on trust and we want to make sure that all our workers remain trustworthy and perform their functions and duties diligently.”
So spake Filologo Rodriguez, operations chief of the provincial quarry task group Kapampangan A Lulugud at Matapat (Kalam), at a recent briefing for its 230 checkers and supervisors.
“Mataas ang quarry collection dahil sa matapat ninyong trabaho kaya sana huwag ninyong sirain ang tiwalang ito,” Rodriquez enjoined his peers.
In the first month of Gov. Lilia “Nanay Baby” Pineda at the helm of the provincial government, quarry collections amounted to P23.505 million, approximating that of the Panlilio administration.
The achievement was readily attributed to the total support of the governor, the full cooperation of municipal mayors, and the honesty, dedication and commitment of the quarrymen of Kalam.
Trust and confidence bestowed by the political leadership returned by the quarrymen with the signing of individual work commitments, the violations of any of its provisions being ground for dismissal.
Operational procedures and ethical standards that could be easily read as some Riot Act for erring quarrymen provide that while on official duty, the quarry frontline workers are required to wear the prescribed uniform and identification card, maintain orderliness and cleanliness of their respective checkpoint and premises, monitor the transport of gravel, sand and lahar materials from quarry areas, check and verify the validity of necessary permits.
Allowing a hauling truck to pass without tearing off the corresponding ticket is a “mortal sin” for the quarry checker and shall be a cause for dismissal from work.
Accepting free meals or any consideration of such kind from anyone is to be avoided at all cost as this would lead to corrupt practices.
Any illegal quarry-related activities monitored need to be immediately reported to the shift and area supervisors.
Checkers are tasked to check the authenticity and validity of original receipts and monitoring tickets, confiscate and seize illegally-sourced sand and lahar materials as well as report violators.
A monthly assessment of the performance of the quarrymen covering the individual delivery of duties and responsibilities, as well as behavioral indicators, will be conducted.
Kalam is living up to its name – grace in Capampangan. And the people could not be any happier.
