This, after Benny Antiporda, the undersecretary for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units Concerns, invited on Friday, Feb.26 representatives from the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) to a key meeting with SLF operators.
Antiporda said DBP presented to the SLF operators their “Green Financing Program”, which provides financing assistance to strategic sectors, industries and local government units (LGUs) in adopting environment-friendly processes and technologies.
“DBP showed willingness to extend financial assistance to SLF operators,” the DENR said in a Facebook post, which featured pictures of the meeting.
Antiporda said earlier this month that it’s the agency’s dream to establish 300 SLFs–a key tool in its all-out battle against garbage–all over the country.
