THE garbage and waste disposal in Dagupan City is expected to get a boost once the  ‘Waste to Worth Program’  (W2WP) is launched with the help of the multi-national Procter & Gamble.

City Administrator Farah Marie G. Decano  said during the 40^th Executive Session on January 5 that P&G has already completed its study if Dagupan is capable of sustaining the W2WP, and found the city an ideal location for the project.

However, in order to launch it, the city council must pass an ordinance authorizing Mayor Belen T. Fernandez to negotiate, transact and enter into Memorandum of Agreement in behalf of the city government with Procter and Gamble Philippines Inc. for the implementation of the project.

Councilor Jose Netu Tamayo already sponsored draft ordinance (No. 0-534) which was presented on first reading last January 6 during the first regular session of the year of the city council.

Another legal issue invovle the segregation of some 28,000 square meters of land covered by Presidential Proclamation No. 98 in the Tondaligan Park to accommodate the machineries to be put up by a company that will convert Dagupan wastes  into useful energy, Decano said.

The project can turn the wastes into liquid form, as diesel fuel for vehicles.

Decano said the project was initated with P&G through the intercession of Mayor Belen T. Fernandez and City Supermarket Incorporated (CSI), and P&G offered the project without cost to the city.

“This is like manna from heaven,” Decano said. (CIO)
