OTHER MATTERS

Regarding the solid waste management practice in the municipality, it was raised that there was a need to intensify solid waste management efforts from segregating to utilizing the MRF facilities in each barangay. Barangay Councils are urged to strictly observe RA 9003 and if feasible to the LGU, allocate incentives to top performing barangays.
