It's not that simple though. The problem is that nobody wants to live near garbage. Even if you have great ideas for collecting garbage and placing them in proper landfill versus open dump sites, you still have to deal with local governments, and local residents who have to live with the rubbish.

Take for example the idea of a unified landfill and waste disposal facility for Metro Manila. It's more feasible to have a centralized waste facility rather than one for each of the cities and municipalities of Metro Manila. We all know we need one, but where to locate one? There's no room in Metro Manila so we have to look outside of Metro Manila. And incineration is out of the question because of the Clean Air Act.

Granted, there are those in government who make some money on the side from having the tambakans in their neighborhoods the way many people think former Mayor Mathay made some money from the QC dumps. But that doesn't mean there are no people in government who are really looking for an answer.

There have been several plans introduced, like the San Mateo Landfill in Rizal, but the residents of nearby towns and cities like Antipolo really objected to it. Is that about incompetent leadership? The MMDA and the Office of the President were really trying to work this out and they were good leaders in trying to do this. The leaders of the surrounding LGUs were not incompetent leaders because they were looking out for the residents of their respective towns. In the end, would you like someone else's garbage in your own backyard? I wouldn't blame Antipolo for not wanting Metro Manila's garbage. Good for their Mayor for listening to their citizens.

Davao is a great example because they did not grow beyond their means, the way the whole Metro Manila area did-- its waste disposal facilities were designed to scale up as the city grows and is also located in municipally owned land so there's no need to pass your garbage onto someone else. But it's not possible everywhere.

Certainly irresponsible citizens have their share of the blame, but once that problem is solved, you still have all the garbage of the responsible citizens to take care of. And it needs creative solutions... but Metro Manila is in a bind because it has no land and it's so big and produces so many metric tons of garbage that outsourcing this refuse is hard to accept for whoever is taking it in. So it's a very complicated situation. I don't think all in government can be blamed.

I think Cebu has MRF maybe i diff. system or a run by private entiites ,simple lang naman ang MRF hindi na kailangan mga hi-tech facility . MRF parang ring junkshop you sell the non biogradable materials like plastic, steel , rubber etc.,hindi kailangan asng facility maganda tulad ng Iligan , puede rin sa baranggay level lang.

I think the Iligan MRF facility is made to be profit driven and it's very good bec it helps the economy of there city and we know may mga steel mills sila and i think a glass processing plant .yun naman sa Davao it is integrated sa aming Solid Waste Management it need the MRF para ma seperate yung mabubluok at di mabubulok kasi ang use ng landfill is only for nabubulok , yes we have a non biodegradable and biodegradable garbage bins pero marami pa ring matitigas ang ulo kaya you need a MRF.

well said . hindi pa naman siguro huli ang lahat sa MM, kailangan lang talaga magbigayan at tutukan ang problema, say maglagay sila ng landfill sa Bulacan (kung ayaw ng munisipyo or syudad nila) but they have to pay a high price para mainganyon rin ang Bulacan na mag host ng landfill at hindi open dump site tulad ng sa San Mateo .

Waste management
By Dennis Berino


The Philippine Ecological Solid Waste Management Act was passed in 2000. The Act specifies that the State should adopt a systematic, comprehensive and ecological solid waste management program. The State shall, among other things, ensure the protection of public health and environment; set guidelines for solid waste avoidance and volume reduction through such measures as composting, recycling, reuse, and recovery; encourage cooperation and self-regulation among waste generators through the application of market-based instruments; and assume primary enforcement and responsibility for solid waste management through the local government units (LGUs) with the help of other sectors.

A quick survey of Metro Manila shows only a handful of LGUs implement the salient provisions of the Act. It certainly is not happening in the community I live in and whenever I ask my class if their respective LGUs implement the Act, not even 10 percent of my students say their communities have programs for recycling, reuse, recovery and waste segregation. I am pretty certain this is replicated in most LGUs all over the country.

Seven years after the Act was passed, we are still heavily reliant on the usual way of managing our garbage—thru the traditional collection and transport of garbage to a final disposal site. Lately however, there has been a recurring resistance from the primary landfill destination of Metro Manila garbage. The 8,000 cubic meters of solid waste the metropolis generates daily is being dumped mostly in the municipality of Rodriguez in Rizal province. And the provincial government of Rizal is serving notice that it can no longer accommodate the huge garbage it has been receiving from the metropolis.

Landfills in Smokey Mountain in Tondo; Payatas in Quezon City and now Rodriguez in Rizal, will eventually reach their saturation point which means looking for another dumping place for the gargantuan amount of garbage that the more than 10 million Metro Manilans generate.

The cost of developing, operating, and maintaining landfills is handled by the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA). MMDA’s waste management budget accounts for a substantial share of its expenditures. And unless certain creative community-based interventions are adopted, an ever increasing amount will be allocated yearly for landfill operation and maintenance which will continue to breed disappearing viable landfills, not to mention the landfill’s big-time contribution to pollution and environmental decay. And more important, substantial amount of waste is not being salvaged for recycling and reuse.

Integral to the solution of the garbage problem is the involvement of households in managing their waste. Left-over food can be passed on to certain segments in the community who collect them as feeds for their piggery business. Newspapers, bottles, cartons, batteries, tires and other old junk have traditionally been bought by itinerant buyers who sell them to bigger junk collectors for recycling and reuse. If you have a green thumb, composting is good way of generating organic fertilizer from your biodegradable waste. And a garage sale will not only give you additional cash, it will also help in extending the use of items you no longer want or need which others may still find useful.

Some countries are already employing methanation technologies, which is not yet in our country, but which I hope will be introduced soon. This involves processing city sewage and garbage into methane gas which can be compressed into tanks for use in vehicles and homes as alternative clean fuel.

Some outlets have established week-end waste markets where people can bring identified waste for collection and get paid for doing it.

The possibilities are endless. We just need to have the will, sense of community and collective effort to contribute our share in creatively managing the garbage which we ourselves generate.

This is very true!our mayor did warn the citizens of seperating the non-biodegradable and biodegradable pero ang tigas talaga ng ulo ng mga Filipino ,he even threatened them na ipapasok sila sa trashbin pero walang effect.

Landfill can be sustainable in time, even in one area pag puno na yung 1 side puede na naman hukayin yun old one. But Metro Manila have a problem how to coup of every day pile of garbage even they have a landfill sa tingin ko 24/7 ang trabaho sa landfill area ,tapos pag saturated na hahanap na naman ng area.

I dont know if the city goverment will still using a landfill after the MRF once completed. AFAIK, they will going to close that exixting landfill at Brgy. Santiago.

As of now, we have a Barangay Materials Recovery Facility at Brgy. Del Carmen which was formally launched last November 10, 2006 has been assessed as effective in its few months of operation.

The city government is also planning to put up a Barangay Materials Recovery Facility at each barangay in the city.

Special Report trash talk

Solid-waste commission lacks funding

By Nora O. Gamolo Senior Desk Editor

Editor’s note: The previous part reported a law on solid-waste management exists, but it is weak. That install*ment centered on the views of Dr. Metodio Palaypay, who was instrumental in creating the Solid Waste Management Commission. After it came into being, even Palaypay was critical of the commission.

Last of two parts

To say that civil society just wants to pounce on the government where it concerns ecological solid-waste management may be an uncharitable and inaccurate accusation.

One civil-society advocate, who asked not to be named, said civil-society recognizes the efforts and problems encountered by the National Solid Waste Management Commission, but that it cannot give full support to the agency owing to its undelivered promises.

“How could you advocate for a unit which you know you will soon hit at for inaction?” the environmentalist asked.

Foremost of their expectations is the database of garbage-disposal areas and government steps addressing the trash issue and promoting solid-waste management.

“We also need to assess the country’s environmental situation—this task is not purely the government’s,” said one civil-society advocate. This source cited the government’s gargantuan resources and political command, making it, rather than civil society, better placed to start off putting up the database.

The lawyer Zoilo Andin, executive director of the beleaguered commission, agrees with points raised by civil society, but says it is hobbled by logistical problems, apparently referring to the agency’s lack of regular funds.

Recurring cash shortages also mean that a unit is beholden to the source of regular funds. The first task of a foreign-funded training program is the conduct of training for this program, if only to comply with the wishes of the direct funder.

A redirection of the unit’s focus costs its advocacy to promote ecological solid-waste management before many sectors, and other commitments as well.

In the absence of regular funds, the commission will also lack money for conducting regular monitoring work expected of them under the law.

Its failure to do so has been a major source of dissatisfaction for civil society.

The Office of the President, in its budget proposals prepared since 2001, has consistently failed to guarantee funding for the commission. Hence, the agency never knew the joy of being given an allocation under the General Appropriations Act.

Andin also admits to many weaknesses in implementing the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act or Republic Act (R.A.) 9003, which deter the commission from doing its job.

“Under Section 10 of R.A. 9003, we should train all local government units, but is this doable?” Andin doesn’t seem to think so. He said there are 42,000 barangays alone that have to set up material recovery facilities and other forms of ecological solid-waste management.

Also, cities and provinces should also build their own facilities to literally cover more ground.

“Some local governments also tell us that they can’t meet R.A. 9003 requirements because they are a fourth-class municipality and do not have enough funds. They also thought that this is an individual project, but they could actually band together,” Andin said.

Local governments can also form a consortium to handle their waste disposal. The proposal of clustering is “environmentally sound,” but, he said, a town, for example, will have to deal with the political loyalties of local government leaders who might be aligned with warring political factions, and thus cannot work together.

There was also disinformation that even small subdivisions should have landfills, which can be developed only at tremendous costs of at least P5 million a hectare, if one is to comply with all the prescribed technical requirements of maintaining a leachate pond, clay lining for the dump, methane gas tank and pipelines, among others.

All these frightened local governments and other sectors that would have wanted to comply with the law.

“Some dumps are near water sources, like esteros, rivers [and coastlines]. Local governments are finding it hard to implement R.A. 9003,” Andin said.

The culture of dumping also bogs down the implementation of the law, since many households and local governments do not comply with the legally mandated waste segregation at source, which would have cut down the residual waste that can be dumped in landfills or burned.

Andin said while Metro Manila still has no garbage crisis, one lesson learned in the past weeks is that it has no easily accessible backup system if wrangling over the Rodriguez (formerly Montalban) dump continues.

He added that the Clark landfill in Barangay Kalangitan, Capas, Tarlac, is an alternative, “but it is quite far from the people.”

This landfill is also controversial, though.

“A minimum of five hectares is needed for the construction of a sanitary landfill,” said environmentalists belonging to the EcoWaste Coalition, who also discounted this proposal.

The Clark landfill, the first in Tarlac, was “disastrous,” the coalition said in a statement. “Capas suffered from the stench emanating from the dump and from the endless parade of garbage trucks from other towns and cities.”

It seeks full public disclosure of all dumps and landfills, precisely because it wants to have these closed down to encourage people to embark on a more ecological management of garbage, or preferably aim for zero garbage.

“Solid-waste management is the first level of ecological management, pang-Grade 1,” Andin said. “If we fail in this, it would very hard for us to graduate to other, more complicated areas like water and coastal resource management, all of which the law also mandates.”

DENR inaugurates P1.2-billion septage facility in Sarangani



By LLALYN B. DE VERA

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) recently inaugurated a septage treatment facility (STF) in Sarangani province for the protection of the coastal waters of Sarangani Bay, under the P1.2 billion Southern Mindanao Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project (SMICZMP) of the government.


The Alabel’s septage facility in Alabel town, Sarangani province is one of the seven waste-water treatment facilities constructed under the DENR project, which is expected to provide desludging services to households in Alabel and General Santos City, one of the highly-urbanized cities in Southern Mindanao.

Sarangani Bay is part of the Sulu-Sulawesi Eco-Region and is one of the few areas where endangered marine mammals like "dugong’’ or sea cow and whales are found.

Other coastal municipalities that will benefit from the STFs are Glan, Kiamba, Maasim, Maitum, and Malapatan along Sarangani Bay, and in the municipality of Malalag along Malalag Bay in Davao Del Sur, which translates to around 241,539 beneficiaries.

Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Jose Atienza Jr. said the construction of facilities ensure the continuous supply of clean water to the residents in the province.

He explained that with the construction of a septage facility, pollution load that is directly dislodged in the bay will be reduced.

The treatment facilities are expected to reduce water pollution in Sarangani Bay at an estimated biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) load reduction of 3,389 kilograms per day or 47 percent of the estimated daily pollution load by the six coastal municipalities.

The DENR chief said the STFs are projected to generate an annual income of around R20 million from fees and health and sanitation benefits.

"The project will also continuously provide employment to local residents," Atienza said.

"It will also improve the aquatic environment including water quality of Sarangani and Malalag Bays to enhance the economic productivity and potentials in fishery and marine life, specifically tuna fish," he added.

The project is launched to enhance the strategic integration of the management of the coastal and watershed ecosystems.

This includes Mt. Matutum Protected Landscape in South Cotabato and Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape, Balasiao Watershed and Malalag Bay in Davao del Sur.

Inayawan garbage to power aircon at legislative building

Thursday, November 8, 2007

Aside from promoting the use of liquefied petroleum gas, now being utilized as alternative fuel by many taxicabs here, Cebu City is also working on the harnessing of gas produced by wastes dumped at the Inayawan landfill to produce electricity.

Mayor Tomas Osmeña said that with the expected inauguration of the pilot project on the harnessing of gas from garbage next month, the airconditioning system at the newly renovated legislative building would be operational few months from now, powered by garbage.

He noticed that despite calls to conserve energy, amid spiraling increases in the prices of oil products, little effort is seen to reduce energy consumption especially on the use of airconditioning systems.

“Airconditioning system has the highest energy consumption. But there is very little effort from the government to reduce the use of electricity in airconditioning,” he said.

With this, the mayor decided to design the airconditioning system of the new legislative building. So the city could save energy and finances by as much as 90 percent, he considered the use of biogas.

The mayor recently went to Thailand and India to study how these neighboring Asian countries are able to produce the “cleanest and cheapest airconditioning systems in the world”, which he said would be the same model he would use at the City Hall. He also intends to implement the same at the South Road Properties.

Osmeña said that while waiting for the new system to be operational, which would be in the next six months, the members of the City Council who would be occupying the renovated legislative building can temporarily use their old airconditioning units.

Once operational, he said that the new airconditioning system would be the “best in the Philippines and even in the world.”

City councilors and other officers of the City Hall are expected to be at the newly renovated legislative building by the end of this month. In fact, Vice Mayor Michael Rama already occupied his old office at the said building last week. - Wenna A. Berondo/MEEV

I remember way back college, our thesis was about the Inayawan Sanitary Landfill.

It was quite big, and was divided in many areas -- hospital waste, plastic, biodegradable, etc. At the entrance, garbage trucks were weighed before going in.

I'm not sure if I remember this correctly but the entire Sanitary Landfill itself has some sort of a "covering" beneath it so that the waste products will not leak below.. There were also "collecting pipes" that collected the "leachate" which then directed them to a "leachate treatment facility" that looks like a big olympic sized swimming pool. The "leachate" was black in color and I can't imagine someone "swimming" there or what if someone accidentally drowns there? Hehehe.... I think there were also pipes that collected the methane, basta kinda modern siya during that time.

I think this is how a Sanitary Landfill works. Anyway, they said that it has overreached its lifespan already so they might as well have to build another one.


Inside the sanitary landfill was also the remnant of the multi-million peso incinerator which was never used.

we need this kind of facilitiy for every major city in the country. We still heavily depend on sceptic tanks or "poso negro". Its about time cities should plan proper sewage systems and sewage treatment plants. houses' sewage shouls go to a centralized treatment plant.

agree! their's another system most european used kukunin yung laman ng septic tank i think every month tapos ilalagay sa kanilang septic waste facility i coconvert nila ng pataba or methane gas. another thing they are now making use of their biodegradable waste materials into composts in their own backyard then use as pataba for their garden or even they can sell it .
