Ground-Truth Checklist — ito ang alam ng system; sabihin ninyo kung tama
The Command Center was built from the databases, public records, and past campaigns. It has never carried a table to a Sabado Linis. Every item below is something the system currently assumes. You are the ones who know the ground — mark each one and correct it in the blank line. Walang maling sagot; ang mali ay ang hindi sinabi.
How to answer: print this (or open on a phone) and for each item mark
☐ TAMA (this is how it really works) ·
☐ MALI (wrong — write what is true) ·
☐ KULANG (true but missing something — write what).
Hand the marked copy to JVPM, or message corrections to the group. Every correction becomes a fix in the system within the day.
A — The collection day itself
The system's picture of a field day: a table, a scale, entry slips, one or two staff.
1. A pop-up needs only a table, a weighing scale, entry slips and 1–2 staff. Nothing else.
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
2. A new member's account and card can be issued on the spot at a pop-up — card handed over, first kilos weighed, points in. (Or is that only at an MBE-C centre?)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
3. Sabado Linis clean-ups run early Saturday morning, and our field team is available Saturdays.
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
4. What a pop-up collects is hauled the same day by our own truck / My Basurero schedule. (Who books the truck? Is there a minimum volume that makes a pickup worth it?)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
5. Wet, dirty or mixed material is refused politely (not discounted, not accepted). Staff have a standard script for saying no.
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
6. If it rains, the event moves under the barangay hall roof — it is not cancelled.
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
7. Field staff carry IDs / uniforms that a barangay tanod would recognize and trust.
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
B — Getting into a barangay
The system assumes: call the hall, ask for one Sabado Linis, show up.
8. Captains (or their secretaries) actually answer the hall landline. (Or is the real way in a personal visit, a kagawad, or someone who knows someone?)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
9. A formal letter, received and stamped at the hall, is required before any activity — a phone call alone is not enough. PROTOCOL
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
10. Do we need the city SWM office / ENRO blessing first, before approaching barangays one by one? IPM holds the city hauling contract — does that open the door or complicate it?
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
11. Barangay events usually expect snacks / tokens for tanods and volunteers — a small budget line the sprint does not currently carry.
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
12. With barangay elections in Nov 2026, captains will want the photo and the credit — that helps us. (Or does election season make them avoid new tie-ups?) TIMING
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
13. The captain names in the system (2023–2026 term) and the hall phone numbers are current and dialable. (Has anyone rung them?)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
14. The twice-a-year Barangay Assembly (whole barangay gathered, attendance recorded) is a better IEC venue than Sabado Linis. When is the next one?
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
C — The people who bring the bottles
15. Our heaviest real participants are nanays and senior citizens — and the card + points flow works for someone without a smartphone.
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
16. “Join with an email address” (the Eco-Marathon entry) is realistic for barangay residents. (Or do most not use email at all?)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
17. The real competitor is the junkshop and the mangangalakal, who pay cash on the spot. Residents will ask “magkano sa junkshop?” — and our staff have an honest, rehearsed answer. CRITICAL
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
18. Barangay eco-aides / informal waste pickers already collect recyclables in these areas as livelihood. We have a stance: partner them in (they earn as collectors), never displace them. CRITICAL
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
19. For the 616 lapsed Mandaluyong members: we have usable mobile numbers, and a registered SMS sender that will not land as spam. (SIM Registration era rules.)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
D — Rewards and redemption
20. Our per-kilo EP rates are competitive against junkshop cash rates for the main materials — or where they are not, the raffle + badge + convenience story genuinely closes the gap.
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
21. TTCB Mart Mandaluyong's location and hours are reachable for the barangays we are targeting. (Wave 1 includes barangays far from M. Lerma.)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
22. A resident can redeem at a partner store the same week they earn — no minimum balance, no waiting period, no card activation lag.
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
23. A public raffle with prizes may need a DTI fair-trade permit (or it is exempt as a barangay activity / below thresholds). Someone knows the rule from the Bacolod Basuraffle runs. LEGAL
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
E — The specific claims in the system
These exact statements are on the dashboard now. If one is wrong, it is publicly wrong.
24. All 27 barangays really run a weekly Sabado Linis filed to DILG. (This is the entire entry strategy — if some barangays don't, the plan changes for them.) CRITICAL
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
25. The TEM site in Plainview exists and functions — the database shows it has never logged a single visit. (Someone should physically verify.)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
26. Addition Hills' “Palit Basura” (running since 2019) is still active — and our approach there is as a partner to it, not a competitor.
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
27. The “only 3 of 27 barangays have a working MRF” line comes from a 2020 city page. The team's current count is: ______
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
28. Wave 1 is the right seven: Addition Hills, Highway Hills, Hulo, Plainview, Barangka Ilaya, New Zañiga, Daang Bakal. (Swap any? A captain you know personally beats any analysis.)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
F — How the team will actually use the system
29. Field staff will log sessions on their phone at the venue. (Or is the truth paper-first, encoded later — in which case who encodes, and when?)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
30. Photos are part of every event record (the LGU and sponsors will ask). Where do they get uploaded, and does the media engine see them?
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
31. The people who need this dashboard have the link and can open it on their own phones. (Share-key works on mobile data, not just office wifi.)
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
32. There is one named person whose Monday job is the barangay calls. “BEST Team” owns everything, but a name makes a phone ring: ______
☐ TAMA☐ MALI☐ KULANG
G — What the system does not know at all
Blank on purpose. The most valuable section.
33. What happens on a real collection day that this whole system has no idea about?
34. What has made a barangay relationship fail before, in any city?
35. If you could add ONE thing to this system that would make your field week easier, what is it?
