we all know, Valentine's Day is on the horizon! Our North Greenhills
Association would like to celebrate the day of hearts with a
"special and free" event on February 12, Thursday

Clubhouse Social Hall. See you there!!!! FREE box of chocolate will be given away to those who will attend courtesy of Ms. Trini Sia & Family. ECOLOGY CORNER
1. Keeping North Greenhills clean & green Keeping our surroundings clean specially the areas fronting our own homes is primarily the homeowner's responsibility. We have made a lot of progress towards cleaning and maintaining our surroundings that we could compare or even surpass our neighboring villages in this regard. May we remind our dear residents once again that maintaining our village especially its sanitation and cleanliness is everyone's concern. Strictly being implemented is the no littering, no garbage outside the house and no dumping at vacant lots regulation. 2. Journey Towards ZERO WASTE- Refresher Course In line with our continuous endeavor to clean up the village the Environmental and Sanitation Committee headed by Ms. Trini Sia have decided to conduct a refresher course on "Zero Waste Management" on February 28, Saturday from 9am to 11am at McKinley Pavilion to familiarize ourselves and particularly our new household help with the use of the waste converter and the eco-center where our wastes are treated in accordance with the provisions of RA 9003 which is entitled " An Act providing for an Ecological Solid Waste Management Program". Please encourage your household help to attend this re-fresher course as we retrain them on how segregate and treat your household waste. converter and (1) kilo bokashi per household will be given away to those who will attend the seminar!!
At
the request of our neighbors and as part of the anti-dengue

beautification program in North Greenhills we will conduct fogging/fumigation

Mayor
Guia Gomez invited the members of the North Greenhills board
together with the board members of the other Barangay Greenhills
villages and associations to the En Banc hearing of the Sangguniang
Panlungsod, presided over by Vice Mayor Francis Zamora, for
the Proposed Re-Zoning Ordinance of San Juan City last Friday,
November 14, 2014. This provided us a good opportunity to voice
out the sentiments of our residents. I am glad to report to
you that Mayor Gomez immediately agreed to the request of the
Barangay Greenhills villages to keep the status quo, meaning
there will be no re-zoning for us!
God bless you!

On behalf of the NGA Board, please allow me to greet you on the Feast of Our Lady of the Assumption. In the middle of the Year of the Laity, may we be blessed with the grace to continue being authentic witnesses of our faith, inspired by Our Lady, especially to the young. REPORT ON NGA ACTIVITIES The All-Greenhills Garden Club which was launched by Amb. Preciosa Soliven and Dr. Deo Custodio last March 12, 2014 has attracted more residents who attend the weekly Wednesday afternoon lectures on garbage segregation, basic horticulture of fruits, vegetables and ornamentals, demonstration and lecture on bonsai plants and orchids, among other interesting topics. Our Summer Barbecue Party last May 24, 2014 was attended by over a hundred residents who also witnessed the Blessing of our newly-renovated NGA Pavilion. The simple get-together where we also met our new neighbors provided a venue to foster camaraderie among our residents. The annual Back to School/Feeding Project held last June 7, 2014 at the Mc Kinley basketball court benefited 2689 less fortunate elementary schoolchildren from Barangay Little Baguio, Barangay Kabayanan, Barangay St. Joseph, Barangay Isabelita, Barangay Corazon de Jesus, Barangay Salapan and Barangay West Crame. We also gave assistance to the children of our barangay tanods, street sweepers, guards and maintenance personnel. Thank you for the outpouring of support and your kind generosity without which this project will not be a success. The
"Getting to know our Barangay Officials" Forum last
July 19, 2014 was well-attended and gave us the opportunity
to understand the role and responsibilities our barangay officials,
the work that they do for us and the relationships they have
with other government units. The participants expressed interest
in making this forum a regular activity to keep us updated on
what is happening around our community. Barangay Captain Alan
Yam and his councilors willingly answered questions posed by
our residents. We have also been active with the Federation of Residents' Association (FORA) which met last July 30, 2014. One of the issues discussed was the case of Officemetro Philippines vs. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue where the Court of Tax Appeals ruled that condominiums are exempt from paying taxes on association dues.
Total receipts as of end-July amounted to P23,449,294.34 and operating expenses reached P17,213,676.89 giving us a balance of P6,235,617.45. We project a positive balance by the end of the year. UPDATE ON NGA PROJECTS We have completed the renovation of the basketball court (including restrooms) in Johnson Park, construction of new restrooms for the NGA Pavilion, the rewiring and resurfacing of the tennis courts in Mc Kinley Park and the construction of the village gate on Roosevelt St. exiting Ortigas Ave. This gate will be open starting Monday, August 18, 2014 (see gate schedules below). We are now improving some existing old humps in the village which need repair. We reiterate our invitation to our resident-suppliers who may have products which you think the village can use to please contact us. Our Security Committee is still in the process of studying the ideal CCTV camera requirements for our village. Please let us know if you can help us in this matter. Administrative Matters We are very happy to report that for the first time in history we have reached a 100 per cent collection rate of our association dues!!! Thank you for your cooperation in checking the noise levels around our immediate surroundings. While we are still receiving complaints with regard to the noise coming from some of our neighbors' houses, we notice that efforts have been made in this regard. We continue to remind our residents about dog litter in our streets and public places. We want to continue keeping our streets clean. We always look forward to working with you, living together as one NGA community and thank you for your continued support and cooperation. God
bless you!

Thank you for your usual kind attention and participation. Sincerely,
Our NGA Admin office shall receive donations in cash or in kind for the victims of super typhoon Yolanda which has set a world record as the strongest tropical cyclone to hit land in world history. The catastrophic damage could not even be determined as we continue to receive devastating reports on new death tolls and the extent of destruction every day as communication lines and power were cut-off for days. We shall send the donations in kind (rice, water, other food items, clothing, blankets, etc) through the Philippine Air Force as they have the planes to reach the remote areas where there are no commercial operations. We have set up a re-packing center at the Gazebo in Johnson Park and urgently need volunteers to help pack relief bags starting Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Kindly send your donations as soon as possible. Cash donations will be sent via the parish churches in the affected areas through the kind office of His Eminence, Cardinal Luis Antonio G. Tagle, Archbishop of Manila. Thank you for your utmost generosity and continued spirit of communion with the unfortunate victims of this monstrous typhoon.
