MAKATI CITY — The Department of Environmental Services (DES) of Makati recently conducted "Baklas Poster" operations in Barangay Bangkal and Barangay Palanan to maintain clean streets and prevent visual pollution. The city's cleanup teams successfully removed 32 kilograms of posters, billboards, and other materials that had been illegally posted on public infrastructure, utility poles, and other prohibited areas. The initiative underscores the city's commitment to keeping its neighborhoods orderly and ensuring that public spaces remain safe and visually appealing for residents and visitors alike. By eliminating these unauthorized postings, the city also aims to reduce clutter and potential hazards along busy thoroughfares.
Ensuring Road Safety and Compliance
The removal of illegally posted materials plays a crucial role in maintaining clear line-of-sight for motorists, preventing obstructions that could lead to accidents. The city has consistently reminded all residents and business owners to comply with local ordinances by placing posters and advertisements only in designated areas. These operations are part of a broader effort to uphold public safety and aesthetic standards across Makati's barangays, reinforcing the importance of responsible advertising practices. The DES continues to monitor and enforce these regulations through regular inspections and community engagement. Through these proactive measures, Makati reinforces its reputation as a clean, orderly, and livable city.
