TACLOBAN CITY – The members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod of this city are asking for the revision of the memorandum of agreement that the German company Herhof through its country representative TIG would like to enter with city government .
Originally, the MOA that TIG would like to enter with the city include a 99 years usufruct contract using 25 hectares of land in the city, said Councilor Jerry Yaokasin.
But in the presentation made last week by its representative, it was revealed that there was a revision made on the MOA, now only asking for 25 years contract and will use only six hectares of land.
“We want to look at the revised MOA, because in other LGU they are implementing a BOT (build-operate-transfer) agreement but in the city of Tacloban they will be asking for 25 years contract and it is renewable,” said Yaokasin.
Yaokasin added that in the previous MOA presented to the city council, it stated that all waste that the city will be producing will be collected by the company including the waste coming from nearby towns.
“The technology they are presenting is good,” said Yaokasin.
“However, using the technology to the actual operation would be a different story because they must first make clear to us all aspects of the contract they wanted the to enter with city,” he added.
Yaokasin added that when they asked the representative of TIG if how many countries in Southeast Asia and municipalities in the country had implemented their technology, it was revealed that there was still no implementation of the waste disposal management facility called Stabilat-R Method in any country in Southeast Asia and even in the country.
“This provides apprehension to us,” said Yaokasin.
“Because the city had already been receiving a letter from the Environmental Management Bureau asking as to comply with the mandate of putting up a sanitary landfill and close the existing open-dump site,” Yaokasin added.
