Alberto Solano, Loreto Carrera, Nestor Fontanilla, and Oscar Torres received the “multi-tasking award” while Alma Natividad and Antonio Esteves Jr. were presented the a “pioneer award” for hospital waste inspection.
An award for best effort and practices were given to Barangays 1 and 2, Tebeng, Bolosan and Lomboy.
Barangay Herrero-Perez clinched the award for outstanding barangay for cleanliness while Region 1 Medical Center, Luzon Medical Center and Nazareth General Hospital were cited for consistent healthcare waste segregation and proper handling.
Communication group DeltaCom was presented a special award for program support.
Several officers of the 54th Engineering Brigade of the Philippine Marines, based in Camp Tito Abat in Manaoag, were also recognized for their assistance to Operation Zoomlion (named after the bulldozer lent to the city and operated by the Marines) to manage the dumpsite when the WMD’s heavy equipment broke down.
