Leonardia Inaugurates New City Dumpsite Today

Mayor Evelio R. Leonardia inaugurated the new temporary dumpsite at Barangay Felisa at 12 today. With him were Mr. Nonoy Lopez and family, the owners of the 3 lots donated to the city.
     Present also were City Administrator Atty.Lorendo Dilag and City Legal Officer Atty. Allan Zamora, department heads and barangay officials.
     Mayor Leoanardia in his speech, thanked the Lopezes for their generosity and civic-mindedness for donating to the city the 3 lots of their property in Felisa and lauded the barangay officials for their vigilance and broadmindedness in accepting the city's proposal. The Mayor cited the important contribution of Engr. Max Sillo and Liaison Coordinators Nelson Sedillo and Butch Soliguen who composed the task force in finding the location for the new dumpsite.
     Leonardia said this new location is only temporary as the ultimate goal for our Solid Waste Management program is a permanent landfill which is a requirement of DENR. Even in the United Nations concern has been aired on the big role of garbage mismanagement on the depletion of the ozone layer.
     Mr. Nonoy Lopez said he and his family donated the lots to the city not only for the sake of Mayor Bing but also for the welfare of the people. Lopez expressed his amazement at some people who bring politics into projects like the dumpsite and Solid Waste Management when the election has long been done (CMO-PIO/eljt)
