According to Calapan City Vice-Mayor Jojo Perez, the passage of the new city measure
is the city government’s share in global protectionism and is also part of the “Green
Calapan” program of Mayor Doy Leachon. “It is high time that we take serious step if we
want to stop nature’s destruction,” said Perez, noting the pressing problem of waste
disposal in Calapan City. The ordinance was co-authored by City Councilors Aselo M.
Agua, chairman of the SP committee on environment; and Carlos Voltaire S. Brucal,
chairman of the city council’s committee on laws.

“It is high time that we take serious step if we want to stop nature’s destruction,” said
Perez.

He cited the pressing problem of waste disposal in Calapan City, particularly now that
the Batino Dumpsite is overly filled and nearing closure.
