Mayor reminds village execs on waste management policy

ARAYAT - The local chief executive here recently reminded barangay officials about the municipal government's policy 

on solid waste management and disposal. 

Mayor Emmanuel Alejandrino said that under the existing law, the barangay captains are among the officials being primary held responsible by the law should there be indiscriminate dumping of waste.

"I am holding them responsible to properly dispose their waste produced in their respective community. Nakikiusap tayo na ayusin na nila ang problema sa basura habang maaga bago pa magkaroon ng problema," he added.

Alejadrino stressed that he would not hesitate to implement the full force of the law  against those officials who would continuously disregard environmental laws particularly involving the solid waste management.

"Kakasuhan natin sila kapag hindi nila inayus ang kanilang basura," he stated.

The mayor admitted that some of the residents living near the river embankment are dumping their domestic waste making the same as the biggest dump site in Pampanga.
