Just a matter of few paperworks and the construction of the Metro Bohol Cluster Sanitary Landfill in Alburquerque pushes through after a temporary halt ruled by the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA), as with all the legal aspects in place and in proper track except for the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) that is still on process.

The pause order on the works of the P75-million landfill project followed after barely a month since the notice to proceed that PTA issued to D.I Cervantes Construction, the project contractor, came to public knowledge through the media.

The temporary stoppage order takes effect until the proponents of the landfill project get the ECC from the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
          
Armando Miranda, chief of the Infrastructure Department of the PTA, issued the statement during the stakeholders consultation yesterday at JJ's Dimsum.

Miranda also said they still have to discuss with the municipal officials of Alburquerque about the barangay consultations that will be done through the funding of the provincial government.

The Bohol Environmental Management Office under the Office of Governor Erico Aumentado initiated the project tin cooperation with the Environmental Governance Program (ECOGOV).

The PTA solely funds the project with the condition that it will accommodate the garbage materials from 10 other neighboring municipalities- -Lila, Loay, Baclayon, Corella, Sikatuna, Dauis, Panglao, Cortes , Maribojoc , Balilihan and Loboc.

The condition was contained in the memorandum of agreement that the mayors of these towns entered into with the provincial government represented by Governor Aumentado.

But some residents protested the idea of accommodating waste garbage from the 10 neighboring towns.

It was during the time of former mayor Efren Tungol that the project was conceived but his participation was limited only in the choice of the town as host of the cluster facility.

Aside from increasing the revenue of the host municipality, the project also poses to generate employment residents, and give more funding support for infrastructure.

It is also expected to project a good image for the town, since more projects would be attributed to the hosting of the facility.

Two basic national laws-Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 and Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991 mandated the establishment of landfill facilities.
