Title: A Study on the Extent of the Implementation of the Ecological Solid Waste Management
Act (RA 9003) in the City of Bacoor, Cavite, 2007- 2012.
Proponents: Dianil Aira B. Malabanan, J ose Victor V. Paredes, Ma. Aleli M. Rustia,
J ohn Calvin C. Sardia,
Funding Source: Parents Cost: 10,000
Date Started: November 2012
Date Completed: February 2014
The study focused on the extent of the implementation of Solid Waste Management Act (RA
9003) in the City of Bacoor, 2007-2012 in terms and presence of the City Environment and
Natural Resources Office (CENRO), Solid Waste Management Board (SWMB), 1O-year Solid
Waste Management Plan, Materials Recovery Facility and Final Disposal Area. Problems
encountered and interventions made by the city and barangay government were also the focus of
this study. Descriptive-qualitative method of research was used with open ended type of
questions was utilized as an interview guide to the Local Government Unit of the City of Bacoor
represented by CENRO and officials of selected barangays of the City of Bacoor. Conclusions
showed that RA 9003 has been fully implemented in the City of Bacoor, the need and
importance of multilateral cooperation between the local government unit, barangay, residents,
civic and non-governmental organizations plays a vital role in the success of programs
implemented by the LGU or barangay in observing proper solid waste management practice.
Since there have been problems encountered by the city government and barangay, it can be
concluded that successful waste reduction, establishment of Environment and Natural Resources
Office, Solid Waste Management Board, 10 year Solid Waste Management Plan, Materials
Recovery Facility or Materials Recovery System and the sustainability of the local government
and barangay programs are important in studying on the extent of the implementation of the solid
waste management policy in the City of Bacoor. Considering these conclusions, it hereby
recommends that the City of Bacoor should come up with a plantilla or organizational structure
of its CENRO which has four (4) divisions namely; Administrative Division, Parks and
Playgrounds Division, Natural Resources Operating Division and Environmental and Waste
Management Division for that proper division of responsibilities within the Office. The LGU
should have a deeper analysis and study in formulating and making policies and implementing
programs and projects concerning solid waste management. Taking into consideration the
importance and the possibility of coming up with linkages and multilateral cooperation between
the programs and policies of local and foreign governments, local and multinational civil and
non-governmental organization in addressing the issue on solid waste management. Strong and
unwavering political will and eagerness of the local leaders and residents to comply with RA
9003 is needed to create a culture among its residents in terms of recycling, waste reduction,
proper waste management practice and maintenance of cleanliness and sanitation in the City of
Bacoor.

CHAPTER I

Introduction

Background of the Study
Solid waste management is one of the most serious problems in urban communities and
developing countries like the Philippines despite legislative efforts and existence of different
laws, programs and policies governing such. The relentlessness of the garbage problem in the
country has been recognized by the government and to address this, it created the most
comprehensive piece of legislation which is the Republic Act (RA) 9003 or also known as the
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.
The Republic Act No.9003 became a law on J anuary 26, 2001 signed by the former
President Gloria Macapagal - Arroyo. It was the first bill enacted in President Arroyos term
right after the EDSA II. RA 9003 is considered to be the most comprehensive piece of legislation
in dealing with the garbage problem of the country which assigns the major task of
implementation and enforcement to Local Government Units. The importance of minimizing
waste by using techniques such as recycling, resource recovery, reuse, and composting are the
main concern of this act. The Republic Act No. 9003 also known as the Philippine Ecological
Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 gives the official framework for the countrys organized,
comprehensive, and environmental/ecological solid waste management program. The law must
ensure protection of public health and the environment in general. It obliges the different local
government units all over the country the need to create the necessary programs and pursue the
citizens to practice an effective solid waste management (RA 9003).
Solid waste shall refer to all discarded household, commercial waste, non-hazardous
institutional and industrial waste, street sweepings, construction debris, agricultural waste, and
7

other non-hazardous/non-toxic solid waste (RA 9003) these all refer to municipal solid waste
(LGSP, 2003).
Due to the rapid population growth rate, urban migration and economic development in
the Province of Cavite, the researchers see the importance of the implementation of the
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003) among local government units (LGUs). The
importance of Solid Waste management is directly addressed to public health, maintenance of a
clean environment, resource management and utilization and assurance of human development
(CDRP/DLSUD, 2011).
As the world moves toward into its urban future, the amount of solid wastes being
produced by municipalities (MSW) is growing faster than urbanization. Total amount of
producers increased about 3 billion residents generating 1.2 kg per person per day (1.3 billion
tonnes per year). By 2025 this will likely increase to 4.3 billion urban residents generating about
1.42 kg/capita/day of municipal solid waste (2.2 billion tonnes per year) (What a Waste A
Global Review of Solid Waste Management, Daniel Hoornweg and Perinaz Bhada-Tata, March
2012).
In totality, this study tries to give insights about the extent of implementation in relation
to Solid Waste Management for it shows the role of the government and the involvement of the
community in the implementation of RA 9003 in the City of Bacoor from 2007 to 2012.
Statement of the Problem
This study shows the extent of implementation of the Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act (RA 9003) in the City of Bacoor from 2007 to 2012. Specifically, the

In this study the researchers assessed the extent of implementation of the Ecological
Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003) in the City of Bacoor, Cavite. The Extent of the
implementation of RA9003 in the City of Bacoor is manifested using five (5) criteria; presence
of City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), Solid Waste Management Board
(SWMB), 1O year Solid Waste Management Plan, Materials Recovery Facility and Final
Disposal Management.
Furthermore the problems encountered on the implementation of RA 9003 as well as the
interventions made were also determined
Significance of the Study
Local Government Units. This study will give insights to Local Government Units
(LGUs) in formulating and making policies and implementing programs and projects concerning
solid waste management.
Community. This study will give perception to the community about solid waste
management and it will raise their level of awareness and their role on the implementation of RA
9003 that will bring about success of the program.
Academe. This study serves as a reference for the enhancement of the curriculum that
will help the university in teaching the students about Solid Waste Management.
Civic and Non-Governmental Organizations. This study will give necessary
information to NGOs about the current waste management practices and strategies of the City of
Bacoor. NGOs can be dependable partner of LGUs in raising peoples awareness on proper solid
waste management. NGOs can also provide technical assistance and support in running roots-
level activities related to solid waste management.

Scope and Limitation
The researchers wanted to assess the extent of the implementation of RA 9003 in Bacoor
City because of its location that serves as the catch basin of the province of Cavite. The City of
Bacoor is identified as the catch basin because the river of Cavite is flowing all the way from
upland region of the province and ends up in the boundary of Bacoor and Kawit carrying tons of
garbage daily. It has been chosen the focus of this study also because of its strategic location for
urban migration, economic development and strong political will of the local leaders in the
implementation of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (Socio Economic
Profile http://www.cavite.gov.ph)
The study looked into the extent of the implementation of RA 9003 in the City of Bacoor
from 2007 to 2012. The study is limited only on the assessment of the extent of the programs and
policies made by the Local government of Bacoor in response to the Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act (RA 9003). The RA9003 also mandates a plan to implement a solid waste
management in the local government level. This will be materialized through a Ten-year Local
Government Solid Waste Management Plan (RA9003). In line with this, the study will also look
on the presence of Waste Management Board, Materials Recovery Facility and Final Disposal
Area in the City of Bacoor.
The study is limited to the City of Bacoor and the 39 selected barangays only and does
not include other cities and municipalities of the Province of Cavite. The target of this study is 39
barangay respondents out of 73 barangays of the City of Bacoor.

CHAPTER II
Review of Related Literatures
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003)
Solid waste is one of the country's major issues confronting the community and the local
government units. The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (Republic Act 9003) declares
the adoption of a systematic, comprehensive and ecological solid waste management program as
a policy of the State. Adopts a community-based approach. Mandates waste diversion through
composting and recycling (Uriarte, 2007). The law took effect in February 15, 2001, various
local governments units throughout the country have adopted and created ordinances in
accordance with the framework provided in RA 9003 like the Solid Waste Management Plan
(SWMP) which asks LGUs to prepare, create and implement a 1O year SWMP.
In addition, Barangays are also mandated to the 100% collection of biodegradable and
reusable wastes, establish Materials Recovery Facility whether as a sole barangay or cluster of
barangays and to conduct information and education campaigns within their jurisdiction (RA
9003). RA 9003 calls for the institutionalization of a national program that will manage the
control, transfer, transport, processing and disposal of solid waste in the country (Orcullo, 2007).
In line with these various researches, reports, news articles, journals and books are published
regarding on the assessment on the implementation of RA 9003, case studies, success stories,
perceptions/ knowledge/participation/attitudes of the people and the local government and their
practices of solid waste management in the country.
Extent of the implementation of RA 9003
In Davao City (www.davaocity.gov.ph), the Office of the City Environment and Natural
Resources (CENRO) was created by virtue of Executive Order No. 6 signed by the City Major,
14

Hon. Rodrigo R. Duterte, on February 12, 1993. Seven years before the ratification of RA 9003.
Davao City was able to address the issues and concerns in the environment and natural resources
thru this Office. CENROs goals and objectives are to ensure that Davao City remains clean and
green, promotes proper management and utilization of its natural resources, and implements
mitigating measures to prevent and control Land, Air and Water Pollution in coordination with
government agencies and non-governmental organizations. Within the context of a balance
ecology. The CENRO of Davao City has 4 Divisions namely; Administrative Division, Parks
and Playgrounds Division, Natural Resources Operating Division and lastly, Environmental and
Waste Management Division.
Environmental and Waste Management Division is mandated to the design &
implementation on effective Environmental Waste and Management System including Solid
Waste Collection and Disposal, to conduct regular monitoring and inspection of different
industrial and business establishment, design pollution and waste management awareness
program and design, improve and develop existing land fill area of the City Government.
Section 12 of RA 9003 requires each city or municipality to form a City or Municipal
Waste Management Board that shall prepare, submit and implement a plan for the safe and
sanitary management of solid waste generated in areas under its geographic and political
coverage (RA 9003 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations)
Solid waste management planning according to (Uriarte, 2007) is defined as the presence
by which viable alternatives and workable programs and plans are developed to solve solid waste
problems. Section 16 of the RA 9003, requires local government units to prepare its respective
1O year Solid Waste Management Plan consistent with the National Solid Waste Management
Framework. The plan shall place primary emphasis on the implementation of all feasible re-use,
15

recycling and composting programs while identifying the amount of landfill and transformation
capacity that will be needed for solid waste which cannot be re-used, recycled or composted. The
10 year solid waste management plan will be reviewed and updated by the local solid waste
management board (RA 9003 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations). The 10 year Solid
Waste Management Plan is the long term management of solid waste of the local government
unit that was developed by the local solid waste management board.
In 2001, Canafranca and Villanueva of De La Salle University- Dasmarias conducted a
study entitled A Case Study on the Solid Waste Management Program in Brgys. Bucandala I to
V, Imus, Cavite. It is included in their study that Imus in 2001 launched HOMER S. A MENRO
initiated environmental project created and designed in the name of Mayor Homer Saki
Saquilayan in order to achieve its goal to have a clean and green municipality. The Project
HOMER S. Stands for Home of birds and butterflies; Operation: Cleanliness and Pride;
Management of Toxic and Hazardous Waste; Environment Education, Evaluation and
Information Accessible to all; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle garbage; for a Sustainable
Development. These projects ran throughout his term from 2001 to 2004.
In the study conducted by Planas, Orong and Espaldon (2010) entitled The Solid Waste
Management Project of a Small Community in the Municipality of Bacoor, Cavite: a Case Study.
The case study was focused in a community of Phase 6, Molino V, Bahayang Pagasa, Bacoor,
Cavite. It was led by the Home Owners Association (HOA) and among the successful
community who pioneered solid waste management and a supporter of RA 9003. They had
adopted a solid waste management project that reduced and maintained the waste accumulated
around the neighborhood through segregation at source and by establishing a MRF that served as
a depository and sorting area of collected waste. This MRF was launched on J uly 3, 2006
16

occupying 4000 square meters of the subdivisions open space with the assistance of Mother
Earth Foundation and Cavite Green Coalition. The Kanlungan ng Kalikasan Materials Recovery
Facility had 4 processing Eco Shed, Eco Shed 1 is for recyclables and will be end for junk shops,
2
nd
Eco Shed is for residual waste that will be collected by municipal garbage truck, 3
rd
Eco Shed
is for hazardous waste that will also be collected by the municipal garbage truck and 4
th
Eco
Shed that is for the biodegradable waste which will go to the composting area that will be used as
soil conditioner in the neighborhoods eco garden.
In the City of Tabaco in Albay, City Council Resolution No. 55-2012 calls for the creation
and re-activation of the barangay solid waste management committee and to formulate the solid
waste management plan of its respective barangays. The resolution is in connection with the
Section 6 of the implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 9003 which mandates the creation
of a Barangay Solid Waste Management Committee. It is a call to the 47 Barangays of the City
of Tabaco for a more effective and efficient solid waste collection and disposal system and to
formulate their solid waste management plan suitable to their respective barangays.
According to the National Solid Waste Management Commission, what the barangay
needs to do is actually covered by what is called the 5 Es- engineering, education,
enforcement, environment organization and equity. The 5 Es are components of Ecological Solid
Waste Management. Engineering covers setting up the support systems, such as the 3 Rs and
segregation. This also includes the necessary facilities such as bins, weighing scales, MRFs, bags
and three-sectioned receptacles including the collection system. Education covers information
dissemination, education and promotion of the program. This includes printed materials such as
brochures, flyers, posters, newsletters as well as seminars. Enforcement covers the policy support
and guidelines, monitoring, compliance, sanction, rewards and incentives. Environment
17

organization covers the programs organization, administration and delegation of roles and
responsibilities and equity which covers funds sourcing and generating revenues.
Final Disposal Area is the last process of solid waste management. It is where residual
waste or waste that cannot be re-used, recycled or composted placed. According to the National
Solid Waste Management Commission in 2007, most of solid wastes in the Philippines are
disposed in open dumpsites. There are around 794 open dumpsites taking in garbage from all 17
regions nationwide, as against 309 controlled disposal facilities. It is the responsibility of the city
or municipal government to put up adequate disposal facility for their constituents. A sanitary
landfill needs 30 million Pesos to 50 million Pesos per hectare to run.
In Quezon City, the only Local Government Unit in Metro Manila who has a controlled
dumpsite known as Quezon City Controlled Disposal Facility, this 24 hectare open dump is very
instrumental in the enactment of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 after the
J uly 10, 2000 trash avalanche of towering mountain of garbage buried 205 people alive. Today,
Payatas is an icon in controlled disposal. Run by a private contractor and solely contracted by the
Quezon City Government to take in trash of 2.5 million people living in Quezon City or
equivalent to 450 trucks of 1,200 metric tons each truck per day. The load is composed of
unsegregated trash 68% of which is biodegradable waste. Recyclable waste comprising 19% and
13% made up of residual waste. In effect, only 1 out of 10 truckloads of trash has been
segregated at source. Quezon City spends 40 million a month for hauling trash to Payatas.
(National Solid Waste Management Commission, 2004)
Problems Encountered
In the study conducted by Dr. J ean Faullimmel in 2011, it shows that open dump
approach remains the predominant waste disposal option in most developing countries especially
18

in the Philippines primarily because it is the cheapest and most convenient. Yet the community is
aware that such types of waste disposal degrade the quality of life and cause ecological harm
(SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT by J ean Faullimmel, Ph.D.).
Acosta Michelle, Alamillo, Regine, Garcia Anna Michelle, Minto, Adreline of De La
Salle University Dasmarias conducted a study in 2009 entitled the efficiency of Republic Act
no 7924 in relation to solid waste management and disposal in selected barangays of Muntinlupa
City. Included in the Researchers findings that the problem arises in Muntinlupa City is the
people cooperation, the closure of dumpsites and the inefficiency of the contractors. The
researchers also found out that there is efficiency in the collection of garbage and its disposal if
the resident concern will cooperate, that the solution in the problems encountered by Muntinlupa
City year 2005 to 2007 is to inform people with policies and programs until they get used to it
and protect the policy needs to change the culture, lifestyle and habit of the public in terms of
proper segregation and disposal.
In 2001, Romeo R. Olaes Waste Management among households in selected Barangays
in Dasmarias Cavite concludes that consumption pattern, rapid population growth and
government programs are the factors that affect waste management practices among households.
It was also found out that waste management is a household problem and the measures being
instituted by the Municipality of Dasmarias are not adequate to address the problem on waste
management.
Catherine T. Crisostomo (2001) of De La Salle University studied Solid Waste
Management in Tagaytay. Her study entitled Solid waste management: Knowledge, attitudes
and practices of households in Core House, Tagaytay City. In the abstract of her study, it
examines the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of households in the Core House,
19

Tagaytay City regarding Solid Waste Management. She used survey method in order to study on
the in-depth issues regarding solid waste management of households in Tagaytay. The study
concluded that respondents are conscious about solid waste situation in the country and they are
highly familiar with basic principles of solid waste management.
Although, majority of the population are not familiar with solid waste management
policies and ordinances of Tagaytay City with regard to the practice, most recognized waste
disposal method in the neighborhood is waste collection by truck. Respondents also displays
positive attitude towards solid waste management in terms of the role of the government and the
citizen in management and maintenance of solid wastes.
It also shows that plastic, paper and food residues are the most generated solid wastes in the
households of Core House, Tagaytay City.
Interventions
Here are the various interventions made by local government units in order to address the
problems encountered in the implementation of RA 9003:
In Davao City, the Local Government launched the Barangay Solid Waste Management
Contest in order to intensify the strict compliance and observance of RA 9003 and City
Ordinance No. 361 or Davao Citys Waste Segregation Policy. The search started J uly of 2012
until the end of the year. The contest is open to all barangays of Davao City regardless of the
financial status, area and the number of residents. The Davao City Ecological Solid Waste
Management Board will be the one to supervise the contest and choose the panel of judges for
the competition and ensures fairness and judges will be outsourced not from Davao City. The
search has the following criteria: cleanliness and orderliness 40%, innovations -- 35 %, and
20

initiative -- 25 %. A cash price of 1 million Pesos will be given to the major winner, with the
second winner getting 500,000 pesos and the third receiving 300,000 pesos.
In a thesis presented by Argueda C. Mosqueda in 2008 entitled: Successful Strategies to
Generate Community Involvement in Solid Waste Management: Three Case Studies in the
Philippines. This presents three success stories in solid waste management in the Philippines
which highlights on approaches towards community participation. The two studies focused on
the conversion of open dumpsites into a waste processing zone namely the Controlled Waste
Disposal Facility in Payatas, Quezon City and the Eco Waste Processing Center in Los Banos,
Laguna. The other success story was in Brgy. Masili, Calamba City, Laguna which highlights
information, education and community- based projects with emphasis on community awareness
in solid waste management in the local level. The study also concludes that people participation
is deeply rooted in political mobilization of their local leaders and these leaders must take the
initiative to make a difference. In addition, the importance of strong advocacy, community
awareness and consciousness, partnership and networking of stakeholders plays a vital role in the
success of the program/policy.
The Resources, Environment and Economics Center for Studies, Inc.s (REECS) 2002
study on household waste management systems and Bennagen, Nepomuceno, Covar in 2002 the
attitudes and behavior of the communities in two barangays in Metro Manila showed that: waste
management is still perceived by many as the responsibility of government. Public participation
in waste management, especially in segregation at source, remains limited. More extensive
awareness- raising activities and training on ecological waste management are needed, together
with stricter enforcement of the Law and local ordinances must be observed and there is lack of
community empowerment and political will to resolve the problem.

In a study conducted by Cruz, D.R., Laurito, J . Et al. (2009) entitled: An Evaluation on
the Solid Waste Management Program from Household to Dumpsite in Marikina City. They
have concluded in their research that the success of the city in solid waste management is derived
from the compliance of the household residents and by the strong and unwavering will of the
leaders in Marikina to boost the solid waste management and strong acceptance of the residents
to the solid waste management strategies. In a survey conducted by the researchers in Marikina,
it shows that 100% or all of the 405 respondents practiced waste segregation and in the record of
the CENRO of Marikina it shows that 98% compliance of its residents to this strategy in 2006 to
2007 and 99% conformity on 2008. In 1995, 5 years before the enactment of RA 9003 or the
ecological solid waste management act of 2000, Marikina City has already addressed the waste
management problems of the city thru the Waste Management Office which was created 1995
and was replaced by City Environmental Management Office (CEMO) in 2000 and was able to
practice recycling, reuse and reduction of residual waste.
In a study done by Dr. Maribeth R. Bravo, Associate Professor, School of Urban and
Regional Planning of University of the Philippines-Diliman in 2006. The study was entitled An
Evaluation of the solid waste management system in Marikina City, Philippines with comparison
in Tsukuba City, J apan. The study showed that the Philippines thru Republic Act 9003 is
centered on the reduction, collection and disposal while J apan laws are geared towards waste
recycling in a consumer-driven society. Both cities are similar when it comes to segregation and
in Marikina there are two types of waste materials; the biodegradable and non biodegradable
where as in Tsukuba City; there are four general types of waste these are burnable, recyclable,
non burnable and over-sized garbage. In conclusion with this study, Marikina City is successful
in the implementation of solid waste management and its strategies brought about the
22

unwavering will of the local leadership and the eagerness of the residents to comply. Where in
Tsukuba City, the policy is focused on creating a culture of waste recycling.
May of 2012, the J apanese International Cooperation Agency (J ICA) and technical
experts from the City of Yokohama are in Cebu City to help the City Government address its
problems on wastewater, flooding and solid waste management. The City of Yokohama is also
considers to extend financial assistance to Cebu City to address environmental problems through
J ICA. J apan is also working to set up a group which includes people from both governments,
private sector, the academe and nongovernmental organizations. Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) also provides that Yokohama will offer technical advice to promote eco-city
development and other technical cooperation to promote ecological and sustainable urban
development (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/local-news/2012/05/22/city-get-technical-help-
japan-222695).
In the report conducted by International Solid Waste Management (ISWA 2010) in the
City of Copenhagen in Denmark shows that the Capital of Denmark, The City of Copenhagen
has 467,000 inhabitants which live in a relatively small area of 88.2 square kilometres. It is a
densely populated city with 5,316 residents per square kilometre with number of households is
265,850 in 2010. It is the seat of the Government and Parliament, as well as of a number of
supervisory institutions. It is also the center of finance and commerce in Denmark. The good
division of responsibilities concerning waste management between the national government thru
Danish Environmental Protection Agency and the City Government of Copenhagen is observed.
The national government looks on statutory order on waste, recyclable waste from
industry and commerce (market driven), data collection and registration for waste transporters
and treatment facilities for recyclable waste on the other hand the City Government looks on the
23

local regulation, all aspects of household waste, including packaging waste, assignment of waste
for incineration and land filling from commerce and industry, classification of waste, inspections
of waste producers and treatment facilities, ownership of incineration plants and landfills and
waste planning. Because of the proper division of responsibilities, waste management in
Copenhagen is very effective and efficienct in 2010 with a total waste collected of 820,600 tons
of waste, it was successfully recycled 58%, incinerated 39%, land filling 2% and special
treatment 1%.

CHAPTER III
Research Methodology
This chapter shows the design of the research and the methods that were used by the
researchers to accomplish the task. This serves as a guide or an outline in showing how the
researchers observed, approached, and treated the chosen variables.
Design
The Researchers used descriptive-qualitative method because it requires an explanation
of the particular subject of the study. Descriptive-qualitative type approaches a problem of
practice from a holistic perspective in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the situation
and its meaning for those involved (Merriam, 1988). Since this study focuses on the extent of the
implementation of RA 9003 of City of Bacoor, the descriptive - qualitative method of research
was used because it is the most appropriate method to use.
Respondents
The respondents for this study were the staff/implementors involve in the solid waste
management of the City of Bacoor. Respondents were all the officials of the City Environment
and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) and the Solid Waste Management Board. The
researchers disseminated letters for appointment interview to the following officials: Mayor
Strike B. Revilla, Chairman of Bacoor Solid Waste Management Board (SWMB), Congressman
Lani Mercado Revilla, Co-Chairman in the SWMB, Vice Mayor Katherine Evaristo, former
ABC President, Mr. Hector Loyola, Officer-in-Charge of CENRO and Councillor Rowena
Bautista, former member of the SWMB representing the Business Sector. The letters were given
and received by their respective offices as early as J uly 2013 and for the researchers requested
appointment with the above mentioned officials but the researchers were not given the
25

opportunity to interview them. However, they pointed out Ms. Theresa Calo in her capacity as
the Consultant of the City Environment and Natural Resources Office to represent them.
For the barangay level, respondents are the barangay chairman, barangay official or the
barangay councillor, who serves as the head of the barangay solid waste management committee.
There are total of 73 barangays in the City of Bacoor. The lists of 73 Barangays were gathered
from the website http://www.bacoor.gov.ph/cont/local_government/. The researchers arranged
the list of barangays in alphabetical order according to the two (2) Legislative Districts of Bacoor
namely District 1 or the Lumang Bayan and District 2 or the Bagong Bayan. With respect to how
the barangays were identified by the researchers.
The researchers intentionally chosen the 5 model barangays of the City of Bacoor when it
comes to solid waste management after which barangays are chosen starting the count from the
first barangay in the alphabetical list and then counted one and two therefore, the barangay that
will spot on number 2 will be the chosen barangay disregarding the 5 model barangays. Figure 1
and figure 2 will show on how the barangays were chosen, it is indicated that the name of the
barangay in bold letters are chosen by counting the barangays with bullets and in bold character
are the models barangay of the City of Bacoor when it comes to solid waste management which
are intentionally chosen. For Figure 1 the respondent barangays are Aniban 1, Aniban 3,
Aniban 5, Camposanto, Digman, Kaingin, Habay 2, Ligas 2, Mabolo 1, Mabolo 3, Maliksi 1,
Maliksi 3, Niog 2, Panapaan 1, Panapaan 3, Panapaan 5, Panapaan 7, Real 1, Salinas 1,

Instrument
The researchers collected data about the City of Bacoor thru its CENRO. The researchers
also used interview guide as the main method of data gathering to validate and clarify the record
reviews. The interview guide used by the researchers will be shown in Appendix 1 and 2.
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers gathered documents pertaining to solid waste management of the City of
Bacoor through an official letter recognized by the University which served as a formal request
for communication and documentation. The formal letter was endorsed by the chairman of the
Social Sciences Department and the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Communication that
was given to the Local Government of Bacoor and 39 selected barangays to serve as a formal
communication for securing interview permission and acquiring necessary documents/records.
After the researchers acquired necessary information and pertinent documents vital to the
research, the researchers compared it to the reviews of related literature gathered prior and then
conducted an interview guide with the policy implementors. The Researchers interpreted the
data and made a discussion.
Data Analysis
The researcher used a chart in illustrating the data gathered through interview. This
presented the interviewers guide questions to the staff/personnel and official of the CENRO,
SWMB and selected barangays in a clustering group of city of Bacoor. The chart shows the
interpretation of the answer of the respondents interviewed by the researchers.

CHAPTER IV
Presentation, Analysis, and Interpretation of Data
This chapter is focused on the data presentation, analysis and interpretation regarding the
assessment of the extent of the implementation of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act
(Republic Act 9003) of the City of Bacoor.
Table 1. Presence of Barangay Solid Waste Management Committee in the City of Bacoor
Republic Act 9003 mandates the creation of a Barangay Solid Waste Management
Committee (BSWMC) in every barangay and the presence of a local solid waste management
board in every municipality, city and province that shall prepare, submit and implement a plan
for the safe and sanitary management of solid waste generated in areas under its geographic and
political coverage.

Most barangays have a Barangay
Solid Waste Management
Committee (BSWMC) however
there were few barangays
responded that they have
BSWMC but it is under a
different Committees namely:
Committee on Environmental
Protection, Environment
Management, Environment,
Disaster Risk Reduction
Management and Clean and
Green and it shows that barangay
committees acts on the solid
waste management issues of their
respective barangays.
30

Interpretation
Table 1 shows that all the 39 respondent barangays have Barangay Solid Waste
Management Committee (BSWMC); however there are six (6) barangay without the BSWMC
are disclosed by the respondents in an interview, but it is under different committee namely; two
(2) under the Environment Committee, one (1) barangay under the Committee on Environment
Management, one (1) barangay under the Committee on Disaster Risk Reduction Management
and one (1) barangay under the Committee on Clean and Green. The data gathered by the
Researchers from the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) of the City of
Bacoor, provided the researchers the CENROs accomplishment report of 2012 . It shows that all
the 73 barangays of the City of Bacoor have already established a Barangay Solid Waste
Management Committee (BSWMC).
In view of the foregoing, the data gathered from the CENRO, contradicted the data based
on the interview conducted by the researchers in barangays. The CENRO is claiming that all the
73 barangays of the City of Bacoor have already complied in creating a sole committee for solid
waste management which is mandatory as stated in Republic Act 9003. However these
barangays claimed the existence of the committee but it is under a different name serving the
same functions as that of the BSWMC. The point is that these barangays still do not comply or
adhere with the mandate in Section 6 of the IRR of RA 9003 that barangays must create a
Barangay Solid Waste Management Committee, a committee that focuses on the implementation
of laws and ordinances pertinent to solid waste management.
The interview conducted to CENRO also reveals that barangays of the City of Bacoor are
compelled to create the Barangay Solid Waste Management Committee (BSWMC) which is a
separate committee that will solely focus on the solid waste management issues of the barangay.
31

It was also revealed that the salary of barangay officials are withheld by the City government of
Bacoor thru the Department of Interior and Local Government.
In the City of Tobaco in Albay, City Council Resolution No. 55-2012 calls for the
creation and re-activation of the Barangay Solid Waste Management Committee and to formulate
the solid waste management plan of their respective barangay.
In the city level, the Bacoor Solid Waste Management Board (BSWMB) is created
through Executive Order No. 10 series of 2007 of Hon. Mayor Strike B. Revilla Creation of
Solid Waste Management Board of the Local Government of Bacoor and is working with the
City Environment and Natural Resources on the effective implementation of RA 9003 in Bacoor
City. The Solid Waste Management Board designs and implements an effective Environmental
Waste and Management System including solid waste collection and disposal, conducts regular
monitoring and inspection of different industrial and business establishment in cooperation with
the Provincial Environment and Waste Management Board and designs pollution and waste
management awareness program.
Table 2. Presence of Barangay Solid Waste Management Plan (BSWMP)
Solid waste management planning according to (Uriarte, 2007) is defined as the presence
by which viable alternatives and workable programs and plans are developed to solve solid waste
problems. Section 16 of Republic Act 9003 requires local government units to prepare their
respective 10 year Solid Waste Management Plan consistent including the National Solid Waste
Management Framework. In the City of Bacoor, barangays are also mandated to create their
respective BSWMP and it shall ensure the efficient management of solid waste generated within
32

its jurisdiction and shall place primary on the implementation of all feasible re-using, recycling
and composting programs.

Interpretation
Table 2 shows that in terms of the presence of a Barangay Solid Waste Management Plan
(BSWMP), there were already 38 barangays out of the 39 that responded to have a BSWMP.
Solid Waste Management Plan of 26 barangays includes the practice of segregation, five (5)
barangays have established pick up points scheme for the city garbage truck to collect garbage,
four (4) barangays are practicing house-to-house waste collection, two (2) barangays are
implementing a time bound bring out of garbage, two (2) barangays have policy on clean and
green, one (1) barangay is doing regular canal monitoring and cleaning. However, there were
two (2) barangays elaborated that they have solid waste management plan but still on the process
of preparation and one (1) barangay responded that there BSWMP is not that well planned.
The creation of a BSWMP is very important because the barangay after experiencing the
problems from the grassroots level when it comes to the implementation of RA 9003 shall now
be the basis of the local government units in creating their respective 10 year solid waste
management plan. The BSWMP of most of the barangays responded is primarily formulated to
meet all households and commercial establishments must comply with the segregation scheme,
proper bringing out of garbage to be collected by the city garbage truck, clean and green and the
observance of existing laws and ordinances whether it is a city or barangay ordinance to be fully
implemented in the barangay level. However in the meantime if households do not comply with
the segregation scheme of biodegradable, non-biodegradable, recyclable, residual and kitchen
wastes, most of the barangay interviewed that they are the ones segregating the collected garbage
in their Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) or Materials Recovery System (MRS) and for some
barangays, households and commercial establishment that do not comply they will verbally
34

reprimand them and still if they do not comply their garbage will not be collected, also barangay
and business clearance will not be issued upon them.
Most of the respondent barangays views are limited to segregation at source as the
ultimate goal, collection and hauling of unsegregated garbage in pickup points and only during
the designated time every day from 9pm to 11pm only; where residents can place their garbage
to the designated pickup points where the city truck pass thru major roads and thoroughfares in
the city were the city truck will collect. According to the residents as elaborated by barangay
officials that were interviewed, that as long as the city truck is collecting garbage everyday there
is no problem on garbage segregated or not, but if it does not collect for a day the garbage will
emit foul odor and that is the only time that the people will complain on solid waste management
issues. Also the barangay maintains cleanliness in coordination with the CENRO, the presence of
CENRO eco aides and eco enforcers are seen as street sweepers and environmental law enforcers
cleaning and roaming in public market, talipapa, major roads and thoroughfares in the City.
Some barangays responded that there were also barangay eco aides/ street sweepers that maintain
the cleanliness of the perimeter of the barangay hall and its inner roads. The CENRO has also the
enforcing and apprehending powers and the barangay will only coordinate to the Office if there
is non-compliance among residents with proper time of bringing the garbage to its pickup points,
no littering, ordinance on plastic and styro foam ban, burning and illegal dumping and transport
of garbage and other prohibited acts pertaining to solid waste and environmental laws.
Maintaining the cleanliness in the City of Bacoor is a joint effort of the barangay and CENRO.
The CENRO of the City of Bacoor also keeps records of the barangay solid waste management
plan, practices and updates among barangays. The CENRO also provides technical assistance,
seminars, tours and symposium to the barangay on the implementation of RA 9003 in their
35

respective level. Respondent barangays also emphasized that CENRO officials are even able to
give a talk during barangay assembly to orient their residents on the importance of solid waste
management.
In the city level, the 10-Year Solid Waste Management Plan of the City of Bacoor is
already on process and already in 50% completion based on the CENRO accomplishment report
of 2012. They are already in the fourth and final stage of conducting the Waste Analysis and
Characterization Study (WACS) of the City to determine the volume and type of waste produced
in the City of Bacoor. It also reveals that out of the 73 barangays of the City, 69 barangays have
already a Barangay Solid Waste Management Plan submitted to CENRO.
Cebu Citys Waste Analysis and Characterization Study (WACS) in 2010 determined the
solid waste composition as follows: 66% is biodegradable, 15% is plastic, 7% is paper, 3 % is
textile and 9% is mixed waste, rubber, wood, construction debris, glass and tin. Cebu City is
generating an average of 325,000 kilograms or 325 tons of waste in a day.
Looking at the organizational structure of the CENRO of the City of Bacoor in
comparison to Davao City, the plantilla or the organizational structure of CENRO of Bacoor is
not available; however, the researchers were able to gather names and number of personnel/ staff
and enforcers. It is headed by Mayor Strike B. Revilla, CENRO Officer-in-Charge Hector R.
Loyola also in his capacity as the Chief of Staff of Mayor Revilla, CENRO Consultant Theresa
B. Calo, Admin Staff Mr. Rico Saldana and Ms. J ane B. Aurellana. In addition to, CENRO has a
total of 25 Eco enforcers and 35 Eco aides/ sweepers for Bacoor West and 39 Eco aides/sweepers
for Bacoor East. The Davao City Environment and Natural Resources Office has 4 divisions
namely; Administrative Division, Parks and Playgrounds Division, Natural Resources Operating
Division and Environmental and Waste Management Division. The proper division of
36

responsibilities in Davao City Environment and Natural Resources Office can also be adopted in
the City of Bacoor Environment and Natural Resources Office.
In the study of Dr. Bravo of the University of the Philippines- Diliman School of Urban
and Regional Planning in 2006, it shows that the Philippines thru RA 9003 is centered on the
reduction, collection and disposal while J apanese laws are geared towards waste recycling in a
consumer-driven society and Tsukuba Citys policy is focused on creating a culture of waste
recycling. It is observed that in the Philippines, the plan is on reduction, collection and disposal
while in Tsukuba City, J apan it is more on creating a culture of waste recycling among its
residents.
In the study of Canafranca and Villanueva (2001) it included the municipality of Imus,
Cavite launched HOMER S, a Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO)
that initiated the environment plan created and designed in the name of Imus Mayor Homer
Saki Saquilayan in order to achieve its goal to have a clean and green municipality. HOMER S
stands for H- Home of birds and butterflies, O- Operation: Cleanliness and Pride, M -
Management of Toxic and Hazardous Waste, E- Environment Education, Evaluation and
Information Accessible to all, R- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Garbage and S- for a Sustainable
Development. This plan ran throughout his term from 2001 to 2004. In a similar view, the City
of Bacoor has also the same plan used by a local chief executive in connection to his name. City
of Bacoor Mayor Strike B. Revilla has the same battle cry entitled STRIKE stands for S - Social,
Housing and Health Services, T - Traffic and Peace and Order, R - Responsible and Accountable
Governance, I - Industry and Economy Growth, K - Knowledge, Education, Sports and Youth
Development, E - Eco-agro Tourism and Environment Protection and Development.
Table 3.Presence of Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
37

Rule 11, Section 1 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 9003
mandates that the barangay shall be responsible for the collection, segregation, recycling of
biodegradable, recyclable, compostable and reusable wastes. MRF will be established in every
barangay or cluster of barangays and the residual waste shall then be transferred to a holding area
and then to a disposal facility or sanitary landfill.

Interpretation
Table 3 shows that in terms of the presence of Materials Recovery Facility (MRF),
twenty out of thirty-nine (20 out of 39) barangays responded that they have MRF; however, there
were three (3) barangays responded that they have the MRF structurally but it is non-operational.
Another three (3) barangays responded that the barangays MRF is on the construction process.
38

There are also 17 barangays that have no MRF but they are into Materials Recovery System
(MRS) in partnership with junkshops. Though there were two (2) barangays responded that they
dont have either MRF or MRS, MRS is the other option of the Barangay on just contract junk
shops to receive the recyclables and the city garbage truck will collect the refuse. Biodegradable
will not be collected and it is the duty of every household to compost their biodegradable wastes
or kitchen wastes.
The creation of a Materials Recovery Facility or MRF is very important to minimize the
garbage being collected by the city truck to be disposed in the final disposal area in Rodriguez,
Rizal. With MRF, garbage is now being sorted to recover materials that are to be reused or
recycled. However if MRF is not available due to the limited space of the barangays another
option is the Materials Recovery System or MRS where barangays are contracting junkshops to
collect the reusable or recyclable materials from households; however, it still does not guarantee
that only residual waste are left to be collected by the city truck because junkshops will only
collect materials with are beneficial to them. In addition, it is an option for the barangays to
come up with clustering so that one MRF may be created to serve certain number of barangays.
In the City Level, thru the CENRO accomplishment report of 2012, it shows that the
City of Bacoor has already 16 barangays with operational MRF and with four (4) on-going MRF
constructions. Also the City of Bacoor has schools and subdivisions with established MRF and
there were already 10 schools with an operational MRF, 16 subdivisions based operational MRF
as of 2012.
As discussed in the guide book entitled: Solid Waste Management Made Easy: A do-it
yourself Guide to a Community Based Ecological Solid Waste Management Programme by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources in 2007, a materials recovery system or MRS
39

is a complete system of recovering wastes that can still be of use- from recyclable materials to
kitchen waste that can be turned into compost. It is designed to receive, sort, process and store
compostable and recyclable materials efficiently and in an environmentally sound manner.
In the study conducted by Planas, et al (2010), it covers Phase 6, Molino V, Bahayang
Pagasa, Bacoor, Cavite. It was led by the Home Owners Association (HOA), Mother Earth
Foundation and Cavite Green Coalition and among the successful communities who pioneered
solid waste management and supported RA 9003. They adopted a solid waste management
project that reduced and maintained the waste accumulated around the neigborhood through
segregation and through the establishment of a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) that served as
a depository and sorting area of collected waste.

Interpretation

Table 4 shows that all the 39 barangays interviewed responded that the City Government
of Bacoor is the one responsible for the final disposal, collection and hauling of residual wastes.
According to the National Solid Waste Management Commission in 2007, most of the
solid wastes in the Philippines are disposed to open dumpsites. There are around 794 open
dumpsites for these garbage from all the 17 regions nationwide, as composed to the 309
controlled disposal facilities. It is the responsibility of the municipal or city government to put up
adequate disposal facility for its constituents. A sanitary landfill needs roughly 30 to 50 million
pesos per hectare which makes it expensive to run.
In pursuant to the Local Government Code (RA 7160), the LGU shall be primarily
responsible for the implementation and enforcement of the provisions of RA 9003 within their
respective jurisdiction. Section 10 of RA 9003 mandates that the collection of non-recyclable
materials and special wastes shall be the responsibility of the municipal or city government.
In the case of the City of Bacoor, the city government is the one responsible for the
collection and hauling of residual waste. Having SWIMS as the citys sole garbage hauling
contractor which is at the same time, the operator of the14 hectare Rodriguez Sanitary Landfill in
Rizal. SWIMS, therefore, is the one responsible for the collection of waste throughout the city
thru the designated pickup points in major roads and thoroughfare in the city. The barangay and
CENRO coordinate as regards proper time in bringing out garbage and CENRO eco aides will
sweep small trashes that would not be placed in the garbage truck. Only residual waste must be
collected by the city truck; however, since there were rampant non-segregation of waste among
barangays, the supposed to be residual waste alone is with biodegradable, kitchen waste and
recyclable which are supposed to be sorted in the MRF, MRS or eco centers. In an interview
with CENRO, it insisted that the garbage collection of the City Truck was lessened due to
41

gradual compliance of barangays to solid waste management but due to the high urban migration
and commercialization in the City, has not been fully observed. However, the budget allocation
for the contract of hauling of garbage increased by PhP10 million in 2013 compared to 2011 and
2013. According to the Accomplishment Report of CENRO for 2012, SWIMS collects garbage
from Monday to Saturday throughout the City and have a total number of 14 to 16 trucks per day
which is equivalent to a total of 150 tons of garbage collection every day serving the population
of 520, 216 in 2010 with a growth rate of 4.33% per annum.
The amount being spent by the City of Bacoor for hauling of garbage was also
determined by the Researchers thru www.bacoor.gov.ph in compliance with the full disclosure
order of the DILG Memorandum Circular No.2010-83 and 2011-08. In 2011 The Municipal
Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) of Bacoor budget allocation is PhP 61,
236,315.00 and 50 Million Pesos of the annual budget was used for Environment/ Sanitary
Services (Sanitary/ Contract on Hauling of Garbage) alone. In 2012 the budget for hauling
services remained at 50 Million Pesos and increased to PhP 61, 961,436.00 as stipulated in the
annual budget allocation. For fiscal year 2013, CENROs annual budget allocation is PhP
92,573,338.00 and 60 Million Pesos was spent for Sanitary/Contract on Hauling of Garbage
alone. This shows that in 2013, CENROs budget for sanitary/contract in hauling of garbage
alone increased by 10 Million pesos. The significant increase in the CENROs budget is an effect
of the increase in the Income Revenue Allotment (IRA) of Bacoor as a result when the
municipality became a city in 2013.
In the study conducted by Dr. J ean Faullimmel in 2011, it shows that open dump
approach remains the predominant final waste disposal option in most developing countries
especially in the Philippines primarily because it is the cheapest and most convenient. Yet the
42

community is aware that such types of waste disposal degrade the quality of life and cause
ecological harm.
Quezon City is the only Local Government Unit in Metro Manila who has a controlled
dumpsite known as Quezon City Controlled Disposal Facility. The facility is 24 hectare open
dumpsite which is instrumental in the enactment of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act
of 2000 after the J uly 10, 2000 trash avalanche. Today, Payatas is already a controlled disposal
facility, runned by a private contractor and solely contracted by the Quezon City Government to
take in trash of 2.5 million people living in Quezon City or equivalent to 450 trucks of 1,200
metric tons each truck per day. The load is composed of unsegregated trash 68% of which is
biodegradable waste. Recyclable waste comprising 19% and 13% made up of residual waste. In
effect, only 1 out of 10 truckloads of trash has been segregated at source. Quezon City spends 40
million a month for hauling trash to Payatas (National Solid Waste Management Commission,
2004).
In a report presented by International Solid Waste Management (ISWA) in 2010, The
City of Copenhagen, Denmark in 2010 has a total of 820,600 tons of waste being collected and it
was successfully recycled 58%, incinerated 39%, land filling 2% and special treatment 1%. The
effective and efficient waste management of Copenhagen can be attributed to the proper division
of responsibilities of the National Government thru the Danish Environmental Protection Agency
(Danish EPA) and the City Government of Copenhagen.

Interpretation
Table 5 shows that in implementing the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (RA
9003) in the City of Bacoor, there were problems encountered by the barangays which included
problems in terms of the cooperation and willingness of the people. Based on the interview
conducted by the researchers, twenty one out of the thirty-nine (21 out of 39) barangays revealed
that the people living in their place have no discipline in participating to proper solid waste
management. A common problem in ten (10) barangays is that residents do not segregate their
wastes from their households and in another ten (10) barangays the issue is on residents who
dump/ throw their garbage into rivers and into Bacoor Bay. In nine (9) barangays, the problems
about peoples non-compliance with the prescribed time in bringing the garbage to the pick-up
area as provided in the City ordinance/barangay ordinance. In seven (7) barangays, these has
been rampant littering and illegal dumping in their area, two (2) barangays responded that they
have problems with people who do not live within their jurisdiction throw garbage into their
place, and two (2) barangays responded that people practice garbage burning.
In addition to the cooperation and willingness of the people, the residents of these
barangays experienced problems with regard to the social condition of the people: There were
five (5) barangays that have many informal settlers which makes it impossible to practice proper
solid waste management; in two (2) barangays, some of their residents have no access to toilets
making the whole Bacoor Bay their comfort room; one (1) barangay has a problem with the
market place which is full of unsegregated garbage. In addition, two (2) barangays revealed that
they have problems with the implementation of existing environmental laws; two (2) barangays
face problems because of many violators against the environmental laws brought about by
enforcement; three (3) barangays stated that their problem is the irregular pick-up of garbage by
45

the City truck; one (1) barangay said that their problem is the irregular street sweeping in their
area.
There were three (3) barangays that had problems on the implementation of RA 9003 due
to fund constraints. One (1) barangay said their problem is the insufficient space in their area to
produce MRF or MRS to put into practice solid waste management. Two (2) barangays
responded that they did not encounter any problem at all as regards the implementation of
Ecological Solid Waste Management in their place. Respondent barangays commented that one
of the major problems that they encounter is when the city truck, which is supposed to collect
garbage everyday will not collect. This results to the accumulation of large volume of garbage in
the city which is the cause why the community will complain because of foul odor from the
garbage dumped on pickup points designed by CENRO and the barangay.
In a study of Crisostomo (2001) of De La Salle University, she examines the knowledge,
attitudes and practices (KAP) of households in the Core House, Tagaytay City regarding Solid
Waste Management. She used survey method to have an in-depth analysis on issues regarding
solid waste management of households in Tagaytay. The study concluded that respondents are
conscious about solid waste situation in the country and they are highly familiar with basic
principles of solid waste management. Although, majority of the population are not familiar with
solid waste management policies and ordinances of Tagaytay City with regard to the practice,
most recognized waste disposal method in the neigborhood is waste collection by truck.
Respondents also displays positive attitude towards solid waste management in terms of the role
of the government and the citizen in management and maintenance of solid wastes. It also shows
that plastic, paper and food residues are the most generated solid wastes from the households of
Core House, Tagaytay City.
46

The study of Olaes (2001) concludes that the consumption pattern, rapid population
growth and government programs are the factors that affect waste management practices among
households. It was also found out that waste management is a household problem and the
measures being instituted by the Municipality of Dasmarias are not adequate to address the
problem on waste management.
Acosta et al. of De La Salle University- Dasmarias conducted a study in 2009. Included
in the researchers findings that the problem arises in Muntinlupa City is in the peoples
cooperation, the closure of dumpsites and the inefficiency of the contractors. The researchers
also found out that there is efficiency in the collection of garbage and its disposal if the resident
concern will cooperate; that the solution to the problems encountered by Muntinlupa City year
2005 to 2007 is to inform people about policies and programs until they get used to them. To
protect the policy there is a need to change the culture, lifestyle and habit of the public in terms
of proper segregation and disposal.
The local government unit of Cebu City in 2012 considers the following as their major
solid waste management challenges; Cebu Citys Inayawan Sanitary Landfill has reached full
capacity and its operation further violates the law, the lack of landfill closure plan, absence of a
10-year solid waste management plan, significant volume of wastes still ends up at the transfer
station and lack of measures to reduce the volume through source reduction and waste
minimization measures such as composting, recycling, reuse, etc.

Interpretation
Table 6 shows that there were solutions made by the barangay to address the problems
encountered in implementing RA 9003. The barangays as part of the solution to the problems
encountered, implemented policies and penalties, created projects and conducted programs,
meetings and regular monitoring to counter the problems they experience and executed laws on
solid waste management practice.
It also shows that barangays include the implementation of policies/penalties as part of
the solutions made in barangay level: twenty one (21) barangays responded that they give
warnings to those violators and after several warnings they will impose sanctions/penalties such
as community service, fines and imprisonment; eleven (11) barangays responded that they
created ordinance in relation to solid waste management, five (5) barangays responded that they
have implemented the no segregation no collection policy to solve the problem in non-practice of
proper solid waste management, two (2) barangays responded that they hired street sweepers in
order to maintain the cleanliness of the barangays, two (2) barangays responded that they

trash cans accessible to their passengers to avoid indiscriminate littering, one (1) barangay
implemented no selling of ice water and no soft drinks in plastic yelo throughout their barangay
to avoid indiscriminate littering especially stores near public and private schools.
There were two (2) barangays responded that they created garbage push carts as solutions
to problems on solid waste management and one (1) barangay said that it created public comfort
room (CR) for residents in order to stop them in making the whole Bacoor Bay as their comfort
49

room. Barangays also conducted programs, lectures and regular monitoring: ten (10) barangays
conducted clean-up drive to address the problem on solid waste management, five (5) barangays
include lectures/seminars on proper solid waste management in their barangay assembly, three
(3) barangays responded that they hold tree planting activity, three (3) barangays conduct daily
house to house garbage collection to address the problem on solid waste management, one (1)
barangay responded it conducts dialogues with the homeowners associations in their barangay
about solid waste management and 1 (one) barangay responded that it regularly monitors
barangay cleanliness. There were also 2 out of 39 barangays that did nothing about solid waste
management based on the interview made by the researchers it was justified by wala and
hindi response to the researchers question Paano nio tinutugunan ang mga problemang inyong
hinaharap?
The role of the barangay which belongs to the grassroots level is vital on the
implementation of RA 9003. Barangay needs to enforce laws, ordinances, policies and programs
so that solid waste management can be fully implemented with the unwavering support of the
local chief executive, the punong barangay and the active participation of the people including
civic organizations. The proper communication and cooperation of the barangay and the city
government is also seen significant to fully enforce the mandates of RA 9003 in creating a clean,
hazard free and able to practice recycling, reuse and reduction of residual waste.
According to the National Solid Waste Management Commission, what the barangay
needs to do is actually covered by what is called the 5 Es- engineering, education,
enforcement, environment organization and equity.
In a thesis presented by Mosqueda in 2008; it shows three success stories in solid waste
management in the Philippines which highlights on approaches towards community
50

participation. The two studies focused on the conversion of open dumpsites into a waste
processing zone namely: the Controlled Waste Disposal Facility in Payatas, Quezon City and the
Eco Waste Processing Center in Los Banos, Laguna. The other success story was in Brgy.
Masili, Calamba City, Laguna which highlights information, education and community- based
projects with emphasis on community awareness in solid waste management in the local level.
The study also concludes that people participation is deeply rooted in political mobilization of
their local leaders and these leaders must take the initiative to make a difference. In addition, the
importance of strong advocacy, community awareness and consciousness, partnership and
networking of stakeholders play a vital role in the success of the program/policy.
In a study conducted by Cruz, et al. (2009), they have concluded that the success of
Marikina City in solid waste management is derived from the compliance of the residents and by
the strong and unwavering will of the leaders to boost the solid waste management and strong
acceptance of the residents to the solid waste management strategies.
According to the Resources, Environment and Economics Center for Studies, Inc.s
(REECS) and Bennagen, et al. in 2002, waste management is still perceived by many as the
responsibility of the government. Public participation in waste management, especially in
segregation at source, remains limited. More extensive awareness- raising activities and training
on ecological waste management are needed, together with stricter enforcement of the Law and
local ordinances.

Table 7 shows that the Local Government of Bacoors intervention to barangay level
includes that 15 barangays responded that the City Government is implementing Plastic and
Styrofoam Ban throughout the City of Bacoor as an intervention in problems of solid waste
management. Also, 16 barangays responded that the City Governments intervention is by giving
seminars/ trainings and technical assistance of barangays by the CENRO. 10 barangays
responded that the City Mayor is in full support on the implementation of the Ecological Solid
Waste Management Act and by implementing local laws pertaining to environmental laws. Five
(5) barangays responded that the City Government gives incentives/ rewards and recognition in
the Search for the Cleanest and Greenest Barangay in the City of Bacoor. Four (4) barangays
responded that the City Government is the one shouldering the expense of collecting and hauling
of residual waste in their barangay. Two (2) barangays responded that the power to enforce and
apprehend violators in relation to RA 9003 in done by the City thru CENRO. One (1) barangay
responded that they are regularly reporting to CENRO in the status of their solid waste
management practice. However there were three (3) barangays responded that they experienced
no problem/ no intervention of the city government to them.
At the city level, According to CENRO, the City Government of Bacoor intervenes in
addressing the problems on solid waste management through creation of ordinances, policies,
executive orders and administrative orders pertaining to solid waste management such as the
giving of Notice of Deficiency to barangays who failed to comply to RA 9003 in collaboration to
the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) in holding the honorarium of
barangays officials who failed to comply in creating BSWMC, BSWMP and MRF or MRS,
Plastic and Styrofoam Ban (Municipal Ordinance No. 14 series of 2002), Environmental Code of
Bacoor (Municipal Ordinance No. 4 series of 2008), drop and pick up stations for the orderly
53

and efficient garbage disposal and collection (Municipal Ordinance No. 6 series of 2002), an
Order reorganizing the City Solid Waste Management Board (Executive Order No. 19 series
2012), an Order creating Bacoor Task Force Kalikasan (Executive Order No. 1 series of 2012),
creation of Solid Waste Management Board of the Local Government of Bacoor (Executive
Order No. 10 series of 2007). However the researchers were not given the exact Executive Order
by the CENRO for the succeeding laws: mandates the creation of Barangay Solid Waste
Management Board in response to RA 9003; mandates the creation of Materials Recovery
Facility or Materials Recovery System in all barangays of Bacoor, mandates all subdivisions
existing and on process of applying for permit with the LGU to include the creation of MRF and
tree planting in the subdivision plan to plant 100 trees per hectare and illegal posting of banners,
As part of the local governments intervention to the barangay level, Davao City
launched the Barangay Solid Waste Management Contest in order to intensify the strict
compliance and observance of RA 9003 and City Ordinance No. 361 or Davao Citys Waste
Segregation Policy. The search has the following criteria: cleanliness and orderliness 40%,
innovations -- 35 %, initiative -- 25 %. A cash price of 1 Million Pesos will be given to the major
winner, with the second winner getting 500,000 Pesos and the third receiving 300,000 Pesos.
This barangay solid waste management contest can be seen as a way of promoting the solid
waste management in the barangay level and also in order to catch the attention and the
maximum participation of the barangay officials and people.
The City of Bacoor, as part of its intervention to the barangay level, launched the Search
for the cleanest and greenest barangay in 2012. This contest is open to all barangays of the City
of Bacoor and the awarding of winners is on quarterly basis. The City Government of Bacoor for
2013 allocated a total of 5 Million Peso Fund for years search. The 1
st
price is 100,000 Pesos,
54

2
nd
price is 75,000 Pesos and for the 3
rd
price is 50,000 Pesos. The price is only good as
convertible to project. The winning barangays per quarter will request to the city government a
project which is equivalent to the winning price.
Cebu City in 2012 asks the J apanese International Cooperation Agency (J ICA) and
technical experts from the City of Yokohama to help the City Government address its problems
on wastewater, flooding and solid waste management. The City of Yokohama also considers to
extend financial assistance to Cebu City to address environmental problems through J ICA.
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) also provides that Yokohama will offer technical advice
to promoting eco-city development and other technical cooperation to promote ecological and
sustainable urban development (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/local-news/2012/05/22/city-

CHAPTER V
Summary, Conclusion, and Recommendation
This chapter is focused on the summary, conclusion and recommendation on the extent of
the implementation of Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003) in the City of
Bacoor, Cavite between the years of 2007 to 2012.
Summary:
1. What is the extent of the implementation of RA 9003 in terms of the presence of: City
Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), Solid Waste Management Board
(SWMB), 10-Year Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP), Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
and Final Disposal Area.
In the City of Bacoor there is the presence of City Environment and Natural Resources
Office (CENRO), Solid Waste Management Board (SWMB), but the 10-Year Solid Waste
Management Plan (SWMP) is still on progress and reached 50% completion as of the end of
2012. CENRO officials added that they are still on the process of conducting the Waste Analysis
and Characterization Study (WACS) of the City of Bacoor to determine the type and volume of
wastes produced by the City of Bacoor. According to CENRO, the target date of the completion
of the Bacoor 10-Year Solid Waste Management Plan is on J uly 2013 and it will be submitted to
the City Council for approval and then forwarded to the National Solid Waste Management
Committee for approval on national standards. However, the barangays are tasked to create their
respective solid waste management plan.
In terms of the presence of Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), there is no city level
operating MRF but the barangays are mandated to create MRF or MRS. It also shows that twenty
56

out of thirty-nine (20 out of 39) barangays interviewed have MRF though three (3) barangays
responded that their MRF is structurally present but non-operational and in three more (3)
barangays, their MRF is still under construction. There were also seventeen (17) barangays that
do not have MRF but instead they have Materials Recovery System (MRS) in partnership with
junk shops. The main reason for not having MRF is the limited space available for the barangay
to set up such facility. In the City of Bacoor, the creation of MRF is not only limited in the
barangay level because the city government is promoting the creation of MRFs in schools and
subdivisions. In terms of the presence of a Final Disposal Area, the City of Bacoor is free from
any operating sanitary landfill and open dump sites. The study also reveals that the Final
Disposal Area of the City of Bacoor is the Rodriguez Sanitary Landfill in Rizal which is, at the
same time, being operated by the Citys sole garbage hauling contractor, Solid Waste
International Management System (SWIMS).
2. What are the problems encountered by the City Government of Bacoor in the implementation
of RA 9003 from 2007 to 2012?
At the city level, according to CENRO the problems encountered in the implementation
of RA 9003 from 2007 to 2012 were: the non-compliance of barangays regarding the need to
create a barangay solid waste management committee, barangay solid waste management plan
and Materials Recovery Facility or Materials Recovery System. It is only on the mid of 2007 to
2012 that there is a gradual compliance among barangays. Lack of discipline, indiscriminate
littering and dumping of garbage, early or late bringing out of garbage are most of the problems
encountered by the City Government in implementing RA 9003. It also reveals that the City calls
for the unwavering will and acceptability of barangay officials and the positive social
57

acceptability and eagerness of the residents and civic and non-governmental organizations to
comply on proper solid waste management practices.
At the barangay level, the problems encountered in the implementation of RA 9003 were
problems in terms of the cooperation and willingness of the people when it comes to proper
solid waste management practice, poor social condition of the people, poor implementation of
existing environmental laws, poor enforcement against solid waste management violators,
poor implementation of City of Bacoor governments policy on solid waste management,
insufficient funds and lack of space.
3. What are the interventions made by the City Government of Bacoor in addressing the
problems from 2007 to 2012?
At the city level, the City Government of Bacoor intervenes in addressing the problems
on solid waste management from 2007 to 2012. According to CENRO, the City Government
intervenes through technical and administrative strategies such as giving of lectures, seminars,
trainings, constant monitoring on barangay compliance, creation of ordinances, policies,
executive orders and administrative orders pertaining to solid waste management.
According to the barangays interviewed, the City Government of Bacoor intervenes in
addressing the problems on solid waste management through the implementation of the Plastic
and Styrofoam Ban, giving of seminars, trainings and technical assistance of CENRO to
barangays, search for the cleanest and greenest barangay of the City of Bacoor, hauling and
collection of residual waste and apprehending violators.
Conclusion
1. Since RA 9003 has been fully implemented in the City of Bacoor, the researchers concluded
that multilateral cooperation between the local government unit, barangay, residents, civic and
58

non-governmental organizations plays a vital role in the success of programs implemented by the
LGU or barangay in the case of observing a proper solid waste management practice.
2. Since there are problems encountered by the city government and barangay, it can be
concluded that successful waste reduction, establishment of Environment and Natural Resources
Office, Solid Waste Management Board, 10 year Solid Waste Management Plan, Materials
Recovery Facility or Materials Recovery System and the sustainability of the local government
and barangay programs is important in studying on the extent of the implementation of the solid
waste management policy in the City of Bacoor.
3. Several interventions have been implemented in response to the problems encountered on the
proper solid waste management practice. The researchers recognize and commend the efforts
made by the City Government and the barangay to carry out the duties for the successful
implementation of environmental programs. In addressing the problems on solid waste
management; however, much more is needed to create a culture among its residents in terms of
recycling, waste reduction, proper waste management practice and maintenance of cleanliness
and sanitation in the City of Bacoor. The responsibility regarding proper observance of solid
waste management practices is the responsibility not only by the policy and decision makers but
of all the component elements of the society.
Recommendation
Local Government of Bacoor The researchers recommend the need for a deeper
analysis and study in formulating and making policies and implementing programs and projects
concerning solid waste management. The researchers also see the importance of taking into
consideration the possible linkages and cooperation between the programs and policies of local
and foreign governments in addressing the issue on solid waste management. The Researchers
59

also recommend to create a plantilla or organizational structure of the City Environment and
Natural Resources Office similar to the Davao City Environment and Natural Resources Office
which has 4 divisions namely ; Administrative Division, Parks and Playgrounds Division,
Natural Resources Operating Division and Environmental and Waste Management Division for
that proper division of responsibilities within the Office.
Civic and Non-Governmental Organizations The civic and NGOs fill the lack of the
government for the betterment of the community. The researchers recommend the civic and
NGOs to conduct further studies about the proper solid waste management practices that will
raise the level of awareness and their role on the implementation of RA 9003 that will bring
success of the program. The researchers also see the importance of multilateral cooperation
among governments, local and multinational civic and governmental organizations that will
bring possibilities on solid waste management.
Academic Institutions The researchers recommend the academic institution as early as
in the kinder level up to college to include the basic content of RA 9003 in the curriculum such
as the Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle systemfor the effective promotion of the preservation of the
environment and to create a culture of recycling citizens.
Future Researchers - The researchers would like to recommend further studies about
the topic to deepen the understanding and analysis about the implementation of RA 9003.
Likewise they recommend further studies for the development of the system of waste
segregation, working solid waste management strategies, recycling and waste reduction
practices. This study will serve as a guide and reference for future researches working on the
same subject matter. The researchers are also recommending to include all of the component
barangays of the City of Bacoor as respondents.
