2. Obscene and untoward behavior shall not be tolerated within the Subdivision.

VI. WASTE MANAGEMENT

The Association adheres to the principle of proper management and disposal of waste as

a way of supporting environmental protection. This includes the practice of segregation,

recycling and composting. By doing so, the Association will help in reducing the

garbage that goes into dumpsites/landfills.

A. SEGREGATION OF GARBAGE

1. Golden Rule: DO NOT MIX YOUR GARBAGE. SEGREGATE at source.

Separate the DRY from the WET.

2. There are four categories of waste for which you will be needing one container

or trash bin for each, namely: a) KITCHEN WASTE, b) RECYCLABLE

PAPER/CARDBOARD, c) OTHER RECYCLABLES/REUSABLES, and d)

NON-RECYCLABLES or RESIDUAL or LATAK

a) Kitchen Waste – Put kitchen and/or food waste in plastic container which

can be covered. Ice cream containers are ideal for this. Keep the kitchen

waste covered so as not to let any odor out and so as not to attract flies.

After the last meal in the evening, all these kitchen waste can be placed in

your compost pit or pot. Follow instructions on home composting (See

section B below.)

b) Recyclable Paper/Cardboard - For those that were used to contain food,

scrape the food off using napkin or damp cloth before dumping into the

trash bin. They should also be allowed to dry first. This category

includes newspaper, magazines, telephone directory, pad paper, bond

paper, scratch paper, flyers, boxes, cartons, and the like. Waste in this

category can be brought to our Ecology Center if you opt not to sell to

our recyclable buyers.

c) Other Recyclables/Reusables – These include cans, bottles, broken glass,

plastic ware, disposable utensils such as cups, forks and spoons, plastic

bottles and containers, aluminum cans, plastic bags (torn and not torn),

PVC, G.I. sheets, steel, car batteries, computer ink cartridges and

fluorescent bulbs. (Refer to Annex C for complete listing of recyclables.)

Those used to contain food or liquid should be rinsed in used

dishwashing water. Items in this category can also be brought to our

Ecology Center if you opt not to sell them.

d) Non-Recyclables or Residual or Latak Waste – These include aluminum

foil or aluminum packaging, Styrofoam, waxed paper, carbon paper,

cellophane or cellophane packaging, candy wrappers, shampoo sachets

and the like, toothpaste tubes, ballpens, etc. (Refer to Annex D for

complete listing.) Note that used sanitary napkins and disposable diapers

can be composted if the plastic layers are taken off. If not taken off,

these have to be discarded as residual or latak but make sure they are

properly wrapped and not exposed. All these items in these category will

be collected weekly by the city garbage truck.

B. WET GARBAGE (BIODEGRADABLE)

1. For waste that are WET (i.e. biodegradable), HOME COMPOSTING is

encouraged.

2. To do home composting, you may either use COMPOST PITS or CLAY

FLOWER POTS. The latter is advisable if you do not have any backyard space.

Using Compost Pits

a) Choose a patch of land which gets plenty of sunlight and ventilation. Dig

two holes half a meter apart. Each hole should measure two cubic feet.

b) Place a small branch at the bottom of each, and a piece of PVC pipe (the

size that you use for water lines) in the middle in vertical position. These

ensure that your compost pit is aerated.

c) Begin burying your wet or biodegradable waste (food and/or kitchen waste)

in one of the holes at the end of the day.

d) Cover every layer of waste you bury with a layer of soil. Don‟t stamp the

soil but leave it loose. To make sure you are covering your pit properly,

check for flies. No flies means no malodorous smell and therefore your

waste is covered enough.

e) Water your compost pit everyday just enough to moisten the surface. This

speeds up decomposition.

f) In case of rain, cover your pit with a sheet of plastic or galvanized iron so

buried waste doesn‟t float up.

g) Begin using the second hole as soon as the first one is filled. By the time

you are done with it, you can dig out the contents of the first pit. The buried

waste should have been converted to compost, to be used as fertilizer.

Using Clay Flower Pots

a) If you do not have any backyard space, use clay pots. Place a layer of soil in

the bottom of your pot and start making a “garbage lasagna”: a layer of wet

waste followed by a layer of soil until you fill up the pot, making sure the top

surface ends with a layer of soil.

b) Water the pot everyday with a bit of water just to moisten it. It will take

around 15 days for waste in a pot to compost, so it is good to have several

pots on hand.

TIP: To hasten decomposition, shred or chop your compostable waste into

smaller pieces before composting. Separate bones from chicken, pork, beef and

fish, seafood shells and fruit seeds since these take longer to decompose.

Compost them separately in another pit or container. You can also sprinkle

lime over the waste during the composting process to ensure the eradication of

any smell.

3. If, however, home composting is a problem due to space constraint, lack of

manpower (no household helpers), or for whatever legitimate reason, call our

Administration Office and ask to be referred to your Waste Management

Committee representative.

C. DRY GARBAGE (NON-BIODEGRADABLE)

1. For waste that are DRY (i.e., non-biodegradable), classify them into

RECYCLABLES (refer to Annex D) and RESIDUAL or “LATAK” (Refer to

Annex C) and follow the procedures below:

Recyclables (Refer to Annex C)

a) Sell your recyclable to our accredited recyclable buyers, KILUS

FOUNDATION, who pass from them every Wednesday and LINIS

GANDA on Sundays.

b) While waiting for them weekly, make sure the accumulating recyclable are

segregated, clean, dry, flat (for boxes, cartons, cardboard, paper) and

properly stored in their own containers INSIDE YOUR PREMISES.

Leaving them outside is in violation of City Ordinance #30-02 and will

expose them to rain and dirt, which would render them useless to our

recyclable buyers.

c) If you do not want to sell your recyclable, bring and donate them to our

village Ecology Center located at our park grounds accessed from

Asparagus Street. It is open daily from 2:00-4:00 pm. However, they should

also be properly segregated, cleaned, dried, and flattened (for boxes, cartons,

cardboard, paper).

Residual or Latak (Refer to Annex D)

a) Give your residuals or “latak” waste to our garbage truck collectors every

FRIDAY.

b) A green police is deputized to monitor that ONLY residual or “latak” waste

is thrown or given to the garbage truck collectors. First time violators shall

be sent a warning letter. Second time violators, unless contested, will have

no choice but to dispose of their own trash as this will not be picked up

anymore.

D. TREE CUTTINGS/ GARDEN DEBRIS

1. Please remove leaves and put them in trash bags for collection every Friday

together with the Residual garbage.

2. Bundle branches and twigs for collection every Saturday.

3. Store and keep inside your premises, i.e., inside your gates. Do not dump in

vacant lots as this is in violation of City Ordinance # 30-02. This will also

become an eye sore for our residents and will be out of sight for the garbage

truck collectors to notice and pick-up.

E. DOG DROPPINGS

1. You can walk your dogs anytime around the village but be sure to BRING

PLASTIC BAGS and/or OLD NEWSPAPERS AT ALL TIMES for use to pick

up their droppings or their excreted dirt. Do not leave dog droppings in any

part of the Subdivision including roads, sidewalks, alleys, and vacant lots.

2. Dispose of your dog‟s droppings by flushing them in your toilets or burying

them and covering with soil properly within your residence‟ premises.

F. GARBAGE CANS/ RECEPTACLES

1. Keep within your premises, i.e., inside your gates. If your residence is gateless,

keep them within your premises and out of sight of other residents.

This village rule is in consonance with City Ordinance #30-02, to wit:

“Sec.3: It is unlawful for owners/residents/lessees, occupants of

residential houses/dwelling units, business establishments and other

institutions to bring out garbage, refuse, debris and other unwanted

materials outside the scheduled time of garbage collection…”

“Sec.6: Any violation of this Ordinance shall be punishable by the

following:

First Offense: Fine of P1,000.00

Second Offense: Fine of P3,000.00

Third Offense: Fine of P5,000.00 or imprisonment of 30 days…”

G. OTHERS

1. For waste generated from private parties hosted at park facilities: CLEAN AS

YOU GO! It is therefore the resident‟s responsibility to ensure that the caterer

clean up and bring out with them all kinds of waste generated from

hosting/servicing the party. Leaving waste behind shall result in the forfeiture

of your bond (Please refer to the rules on the use of the Park facilities).

2. For waste generated from house construction: Keep within construction

premises or within a designated bonded warehouse area, making sure these do

not overspill onto village roads, sidewalks, neighbor‟s property lines. Haul

them out of the village upon completion of construction (Please refer to the

rules on Construction Projects).

3. For food waste of construction workers: Provide a compost pit at site and

follow same procedure as home composting.

VII. OTHER RULES AND REGULATIONS

A. GARAGE SALE

1. Resident/Homeowners who intend to conduct a garage sale in their homes are

advised to inform the Association‟s Administration Office of their plans in order

that appropriate security measures can be instituted during the sale period. The

period of sale should not exceed two (2) calendar days.

B. FILMING

1. No filming or location shooting of commercial movies or advertisements shall be

allowed within the subdivision without the prior written approval of the

Association‟s Security Committee who shall evaluate and decide on the proposed

filming on the basis of the potential disturbance that it may cause to the other

residents within the subdivision.

C. PETS

1. Residents may only keep pet dogs, cats, fish and birds in their residence.

However, the Association reserves the right to make the resident limit the

number of its pets if found to create unreasonable noise and disturbance to its

neighbors.

2. Farm animals (such as chicken, game-cocks, goats, horses, cows, hogs and the

like) and wildlife species (such as reptiles, wildcats, wolves or carnivorous

fishes) are strictly prohibited to be kept or bred within the subdivision.

3. Pets must be confined within the member‟s residence and dogs may be taken

out only on a leash. The Association‟s employees and security personnel are

instructed/authorized to capture any stray animal and turn this over to the

Administration Office. Captured stray animal will be disposed of if unclaimed

within 48 hours of its captivity.

4. Resident-members shall be responsible for the proper upkeep of their pets and

ensure that these do not aggravate other residents with their noise, litter and

smell.

5. Pets of any kind are not allowed in the Subdivision‟s park and playground, and

Squash Drive.

VIII. ASSOCIATION DUES AND OTHER FEES

The Association will collect from its owner / members during the month of January each

year an annual assessment that will be used to finance its operations and activities for

discharging its functions and responsibilities effectively. The rate of assessment will be

established by the Association‟s Board of Directors and will be subject to review and

change based on needs. The amount of Association dues and rates are shown in Annex

B. Also shown in Annex B are fees for miscellaneous services provided by the

Association such as issuance of IDs, endorsement or certification letters for residents,

flyers/advertisements, etc.

PART III

GUIDELINES FOR HOMEOWNERS AND RESIDENTS

I. COMMUNITY WELFARE

The Association enjoins all residents and homeowners to respect at all times the rights of

their fellow residents particularly where the peaceful enjoyment of their residence in the

Subdivision is concerned. The following are some guidelines for the Valle Verde 5

residents and homeowners:

1. Maintain sound and noise at reasonably low levels in our respective homes.

2. Use car horns only when absolutely necessary, as for road safety. Tooting of horns

to call for the opening of gates should be done very briefly. Continuous tooting of

horns should be avoided. Likewise, any tooting of horns during sleeping hours or

late at night should be avoided.

3. Keep one‟s respective frontages and perimeters clean and free from garbage, debris

and malodorous elements. It is the resident‟s responsibility to keep its front area

clean through regular daily sweeping of dried leaves and all kinds of litter.

4. If a resident has a complaint about his/her neighbor, he/she should try to settle it

amicably by talking directly to the person concerned. If the resident needs the

Association to mediate, it can submit a written request for this purpose, explaining

the background and relevant details. If no resolution is arrived at between the two

parties and even with the mediation of the Association, the resident may formally

file a complaint with the Barangay Council or if necessary, with the legal courts.

II. SECURITY IN RESIDENTS’ HOMES

While the Association shall exert its best efforts in securing and protecting the Village

and its residents, the security and protection of each household is still a primary

responsibility of the individual homeowner/resident. The guidelines and tips are as

follows:

A. PROVIDING SECURITY REINFORCEMENTS

1. Residents with houses having low fences are enjoined to reinforce their perimeter

areas for security reasons. Homeowners whose houses have unfenced front yards

must exercise extra security precautions, especially at nighttime, to prevent

intrusion into their houses.

2. Homeowners with residences that have dimly illuminated compounds/premises

are advised to increase their lighting. At nighttime, lights at the front and rear

doors and corners of building should be kept on whether the Residents are at

home or away.

3. Residents who have not yet registered with the Valle Verde 5 Association their

household servants, gardeners, drivers and private guards should register them

soonest. Registration has been observed to serve as a psychological deterrent for

these persons to get involved in theft, robbery and other petty crimes while

employed inside the Village.

4. Should there be any tall cogon grass growing on vacant spaces in the Village

which could serve as hiding places for “intruders”, such should be reported to the

Administration for appropriate action.

5. Ladders should be locked away while not in use.

6. Have all locks changed when moving into a new house.

7. Pin tumbler locks on all outside doors offer the best protection. Doors with glass

panels should also have double cylinder locks, which require keys on the inside.

Sliding glass doors and windows can be better protected by placing a piece of

wood in the bottom track, movement is prevented.

8. Residents should keep police type whistles at home. These should be strategically

located inside the house, and should easily be retrievable when needed. The idea

is to blow as many whistles as possible to signal for help from neighbors and

security guards in case of emergency.

9. Large sums of money, expensive jewelry or other valuables should not be kept at

home. Rent a safety deposit box in your bank. Leaving large sums of money at

home can be a temptation to the other members of the household.

10. Train your maids and houseboy to be security conscious.

11. Private security guards engaged in residence should be spot checked for alertness

and clearly informed of your requirements.

B. SECURITY TIPS WHEN AT HOME

1. Refrain from automatically opening the door whenever the doorbell rings.

2. Demand credentials before admitting salesmen or repairmen.

3. Do not patronize peddlers and ambulant buyers as these can be potential burglars.

4. Outside doors should be kept locked at all times. Some thieves look for residents

who are working in the yard, hanging laundry, or otherwise engaged outside.

Then, they approach from the opposite side of the house and enter through an

unlocked door to steal purses, money, jewelry and other valuable items.

5. If telephone calls with “wrong numbers” are continually received, be suspicious.

Do not reveal your own phone number or address to unknown callers and never

admit to them that you are alone.

6. Do not continue conversation with “nuisance” callers.

7. When a stranger requests to use your telephone, do not permit him/her to enter the

house.

8. Conduct a Security Check every night before retiring. Be sure all doors and

windows are locked and appropriate lights are on.

9. In instances when you suddenly discover that a burglar has already entered your

house, the following can be done:

Turn on lights to frighten a burglar. Burglars are generally interested only in stealing, not harming.

Use pre-arranged signals in the form of loud whistles or blinking lights

after the burglar has left your house.

If you are a victim of thieves, call the Subdivision security and/or police

immediately. Do not touch anything until fingerprint technicians and

investigators have done their job of lifting latent fingerprints and

conducting other security investigation measures.

C. SECURITY TIPS WHEN NOT AT HOME

1. When going out at night, leave one or more lights inside the house or perhaps,

have a radio playing softly but enough to be heard outside. A residence that

presents a lived-in appearance is less conducive to being entered into by

burglars. Maids should be instructed to be alert during your absence.

2. Do not leave door keys under flowerpots, doormats or other “obvious” places.

3. If you find a door or window forced open or broken while you were absent, do

not enter. The criminal may still be inside. Use a neighbor‟s phone

immediately or other means to summon the Subdivision guards or the police.

4. Take great care in the selection of maids, driver‟s etc. Insist that maids take

the same precaution as you do. Instruct them not to admit strangers. Give

them the phone number where you or the guards, Barangay, or the police can

be reached.

D. HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS

1. Know your neighbors to easily recognize a stranger who must be observed.

2. In the spirit of neighborliness and community assistance, be alert in protecting

not only your own house, but your neighbor‟s as well. Let us be part of the

“Neighborhood Watch”. Do not tell a stranger that your neighbor is not at

home.

3. Let‟s respond to our neighbor‟s need, as we would want him to respond to

ours. A neighbor‟s call to the police may save a life, property or valuable

possessions.

4. Let‟s talk with our neighbor about crime problems and crime prevention. We

can discuss joint cooperation in keeping watch on each other‟s home.

5. If you see or hear a prowler at your house or at a neighbor‟s premises at night,

use the telephone to notify the Village security and/or police. Also indicate

alarm with whistle signals, etc. Do not become impatient when help seems

slow in coming as people who respond usually approach silently in their

attempt to cut off avenues of escape.

6. If you observe suspicious persons or occurrences, contact the Village security

or the police immediately.

7. Write down the license number of vehicles used by suspicious persons in the

neighborhood and inform the security guard.

8. In case of intrusion, residents are advised to use the following distress signals

adopted for the Village in order to get outside help. There are two types of

signal that are to be used by residents who are in distress and in need of help.

These are:

a. One or more whistles blown inside (but preferably outside) the house

b. Continuous blinking “on and off” of lights inside and outside the house.

(The blinking of lights in a house should be interpreted by residents and

guards as a distress signal for help.)

9. Neighbors who read the distress signals should immediately contact the Valle

Verde 5 Security, PNP or the Barangay and request assistance.

10. The guard on duty shall promptly respond in a manner that will not harm, or

increase the danger to the members of the beleaguered household. Catching

the culprits is secondary to ensuring safety of the household members.

Culprits caught by security guards shall be promptly turned over to the

Barangay or the Police for investigation and filing of criminal charges.

III.SAFETY

A. FIRE PREVENTION

1. Electrical Source

Wiring

a) A licensed master electrician or electrical engineer should inspect house

electrical installations regularly. He should be able to assure homeowners that

the service entrance wiring can carry the total house load.

b) Adequate safety switches and fuses or circuits breakers on the main line and

individual electrical circuits should be provided.

c) All electrical wiring should be installed safely in conduit pipes.

d) Avoid temporary, dangling connections.

Line Loading

a) Provide individual circuits for each heavy electrical appliance such as air-

conditioners, electrical range, stove, deep well pumps, and others.

b) Avoid “octopus” connections.

Servicing

a) Leave the servicing and repair to qualified persons. Do not improvise.

b) Do not replace blown out fuse with a higher rated fuse or with a wire.

c) Appliances:

Air-conditioners: Have the motor and electrical connections serviced

regularly. This should include loose sockets.

Flat-iron: Replace frayed electrical cords immediately. When in use, do not

leave unattended even for a few minutes.

Fluorescent Lamps: Replace defective (humming) ballasts.

TV and Video Equipment- Disconnect power connections when leaving the

room for a long period.

2. Gas Stove/Range

a) Lighting: Always turn on lights first before turning on LPG gas valves, never

the opposite,

b) LPG Gas Leaks:

Stove/Range: Service regularly; check for leaks, and repair immediately.

Worn-out or soft rubber hose: Check for leaks. Replace loose-fitting, worn-

out or soft rubber hose.

Gas Cylinder: Do not use leaking cylinders.

c) Storage: Store gas cylinders outside the house.

d) Cleaning: Clean gas stoves or range of oils spills or accumulated food debris

on a daily basis.

3. Storage of Flammable Materials

Do not store large quantities of flammable materials inside the house especially

highly volatile liquids such as gasoline.

4. Other Potential Hazards

a) Smoking: Refrain from smoking when lying in bed or in a couch. Provide

ashtrays. Crush thoroughly lighted cigar or cigarettes before discharging.

b) Matches and Lighters: Keep in a safe place away from the reach of

children. Strictly discourage children from playing with matches or open

flames.

c) Burning of Dry Leaves or Refuse: Do not burn dry leaves or refuse. Arrange

for disposal with other garbage.

d) Use of Charcoal: Do not use gasoline to kindle charcoal. Extinguish the

ember after use.

e) Open flames: Do not use for decorations. When using candles or gas lamps,

keep in a place where they do not topple easily. Keep away from the curtains.

f) Housekeeping: Clear the roof and gutter of accumulated dry leaves. Remove

wood shaving or litter ceiling/attic areas. Avoid indiscriminate accumulation

of combustible materials inside the house such as waste paper and rags.

g) Leaving the House. When going on vacation and nobody is left in the house,

turn off the main switch. Unplug all appliances, Instruct household staff on

safety practices.

5. Fire Extinguisher

Residence should keep/maintain a working fire extinguisher and household

members should be taught how to operate said equipment. This measure could

prove very useful in the early containment of fires.

6. Smoke Alarms/Fire Alarms

It is also strongly advised that residents install smoke alarms or fire alarms in

strategic places in their homes (e.g., near the kitchen, etc.)

B. GENERAL SAFETY

1. Swimming Pools

If very young children live in/visit your residence, surround swimming pool

with protective fencing.

Never leave children unattended in the pool.

Keep chlorine and acids away from children and pets.

2. Fireworks and explosives

Do not store such items in your homes. These are dangerous items.

3. Driving Habits

Observe Valle Verde 5 traffic and driving regulations. Do not drive recklessly.

Stop at signs near intersections. Be courteous and give way at corners and

intersections. Exercise caution when backing out of driveways or from any other

parking area in the Subdivision. Watch out for pedestrians. Do not drive after

taking alcoholic drinks.
