DUMAGUETE CITY -- Instead of holding a fun run in connection with the 117th Civil Service Month celebration this September, the city's human resource office has decided to hold instead the so-called “Cigarette Butt Race.”
During the race, the participants are to collect as many cigarette butts as they can collect while having a run along a specific route, according to Human Resource Officer Dr. Dino Depositario on Wednesday.
He explained that instead of just a fun run, it will be more meaningful to do it with an advocacy to gather all the cigarette butts that can be found along the way by participants who are employees of the city government.
Every department will be represented by at least five employees to join the butt race scheduled at 6 a.m. on Saturday.
Included in the routes are bus, tricycle and jeepney terminals and other public places in the city.
However, Depositario said he hopes that there will be a few cigarette butts that can be found, which will indicate that Dumaguete City is really a smoke-free city. The first to reach the finish line will receive awards.
Meanwhile, CSC Commissioner Roberto Martinez is expected in Dumaguete during the culmination activity of the Civil Service Month celebration to conduct a symposium on September 29.
Expected to attend the activity are city department heads in order to be apprised with new issuances and guidelines of the CSC, including on appointments.
During the activity, the human resource office will present the city’s ATM payroll system to the commissioner as well as the employees' information data system. (PNA)
