LGUS FORMULATE ENFORCEMENT PLAN, ASSURE BETTER SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION

October 28, 2008

The local government units in the province recently convened in a workshop to formulate their comprehensive Solid Waste Management enforcement plans.

Participated by eight LGUs namely Ambaguio, Dupax Sur, Villaverde, Sta Fe, Kasibu, Kayapa, Alfonso Castañeda and Diadi, the three-day workshop enabled SWM implementers to enhance their enforcement plan as integrated in their 10-year SWM plan. 

According to Forester Delia Agunoy, these LGUs, after completing their 10-year plans, were confronted with issues on how to enforce the provisions of the said plans.  And with the assistance of the ECOGOV, the said workshop was initiated.

“These LGUs are really into implementation of their plans, however, they are having problems on how to implement the provisions of the plan, considering some resistance from the community and barangay leaders.  But with this workshop, they were able to identify strategies on how to resolve these problems,” Agunoy said.

Aside from the strategies, the LGUs were able to learn from the experiences of the participating LGUs who were once confronted with the same problem.

On the other hand, the participants were grateful with the presence of  Board Member Merly Talingdan, who reiterated the need for the creation of  Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office.  “There are so many environmental programs at hand and the frontliners of these programs are you, the LGUs. There is really a need to have a MENRO because environmental issues recently confronting us could not be solely handed by the ENRO, so collaboration is really a must,” Talingdan said.

She also assured  the participants that the provincial government, is very much willing to provide augmentations needed in the implementation of these programs.

It can be recalled that Governor Luisa Lloren Cuaresma has been providing fund augmentations to Municipalities who are already implementing its 10-year comprehensive plan.#casg (GO-PAIAD)
