Ifugao mayors agree on trash common landfill


LAGAWE, Ifugao -- Mayors of six towns of this province recently  agreed to undertake a clustered sanitary garbage landfill project that will commonly benefit them.

Mayors Ceasario Cabbigat of this town, Joselito Guyguyon of Kiangan, Mariano Buyagawan, Lamut; Gerardo Luglug, Hingyon; Armando Domilod, Asipulo and Jerry Dalipog of Banaue signed the agreement. This, because they realized establishment, operation and management of a sanitary landfill would require massive financial requirement which may not be practical or affordable for many poorer municipalities.

The mayors agreed the project would achieve their solid waste management with less money considering they could use credit financing for the project.

The six municipalities are near each other and share common resources.

As initial endeavor, they agreed to form themselves into a “cluster for solid waste management and consolidate efforts for a project feasibility study.


 An amount of P200,000 from each member LGU shall be collected as initial contribution for the study. -- Daniel Codamon
