“Basura mo, ibulsa mo” is a simple reminder that carries a strong message. In English, we can say, “Keep your trash until you find a bin”. This means that if there is no trash can nearby, we should keep our wrappers, tissues, or plastic in our pocket or bag first. It may seem like a very small act, but it shows discipline, respect, and care for our surroundings. A clean community starts with small responsible choices.

Many people think that throwing one small piece of trash on the ground is not a big deal. But when this small action is done by many people every day, it slowly turns into a serious problem. The streets become dirty, canals get clogged, and flooding happens during heavy rain. The environment suffers because of simple careless habits. What looks small today can grow into a bigger mess tomorrow. Our community deserves better than that.

We are calling on our local government to take simple but clear actions, such as adding more trash bins in public areas, putting visible reminder signs, and strictly implementing cleanliness rules. At the same time, I am encouraging every resident to practice personal responsibility. Change does not always need to be big or expensive. It starts with awareness and daily discipline.

Now is the time to act. I invite everyone to sign this petition and support the campaign for a cleaner and safer community. By signing, you are showing that you care about our environment and our future. Let us work together, citizens and local leaders to keep our surroundings clean. Basura mo, ibulsa mo. The change begins with us.
