The turnover of the units–made possible through the office of Senator Cynthia A. Villar–is expected to help address the solid waste problem in Manila Bay. Each unit costs P1 million.
“This is a huge help to LGUs to comply with the provisions of Republic Act (RA) 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. It is anchored on the support Senator Villar has been giving to us in the DENR,” Undersecretary for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units Concerns Benny D. Antiporda said in a statement Tuesday, May 11.
Antiporda, who also sits as the Manila Bay Anti-Pollution Task Force (MBAPTF) chief, said the move “raises the call for effective solid waste management as a major concern in the country’s discourse on governance, both at the national and local level”.

Antiporda, the Manila Bay Anti-Pollution Task Force (MBAPTF) chief, reminded the violators Friday, April 16 that DENR already knows who they are and that it’s only a matter of when they will get shut down.
“Doon sa mga violators na before the pandemic pa nabigyan ng notice of violations and cease and desist order na until now hindi nagko-comply, they need to act on it (For the violators that were given a notice of violations and a cease and decease order, and haven’t complied, they need to act on it),” he said.

Is this the beginning of the end for Manila Bay polluters?

Published March 5, 2021, 7:02 PM
The Manila Bay Anti-Pollution Task Force (MBAPTF) has begun the process of picking out the “pasaway na polluters (disobedient people who pollute)” of Manila Bay.
This, after Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Usec. Benny D. Antiporda told member-agencies of the task force to “identify erring establishments that continue to pollute the Manila Bay region”.

'Pasaway na polluters' of Manila Bay warned

(JANSEN ROMERO / MANILA BULLETIN)
“‘Shape up or ship out’–my message for business establishments that violate our environmental laws. We will deal with you head on,” he told reporters.
Special Order (SO) No.2021-17, which effected the creation of the MBAPTF along with Antiporda’s new function, was issued only last January 26. He said the task force is “long overdue.”
The DENR official clarified that he won’t be in charge of all things that have to do with Manila Bay; rather, only go after the polluters who worsen the situation at Manila Bay.
Antiporda personally described them as “pasaway na polluters (disobedient people who pollute).”

The MBAPTF shall be headed by the Undersecretary for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units Concerns (SWMLGUC), a position currently held by Benny Antiporda.
Antiporda shall have the authority to call upon the assistance of other DENR offices including bureaus and attached agencies for the effective implementation of SO No.2021-17.
