State of the P38 Million Land Fill Project of Malay rests in the hands of the Boracay Solid Waste Management Board

The state of the P38 Million Land Fill Project of Malay rests in the hands of the Boracay Solid Waste Management Board.

This was what Vice Mayor and Presiding Officer Ceciron Cawaling emphasized in the middle of the debate of the Councilmen at the Town Council on the 25th of September. This was after it was found out that irregularities seemed existed in the project, and there was a change from the plan when the plan was implemented resulting to the failed Land Fill Project of Malay.

According to Cawaling, even if the contractor together with the other individuals involved in the implementation of the project were called upon by the Town Council, the solution sought for the problem could not be drawn.

Cawaling said that everyone should meet for such problem and that the Boracay Solid Waste Management Board should call for a meeting, since the Board should be making the decision on the issue.

In conclusion, the Vice Mayor suggested that a General Meeting should be called for by the Boracay Solid Waste Management Board, and that it should be called by the Chief Executive so that the responsible department would explain to the Town Council why the problem happened.

It can be recalled that it was found that allegedly the contractor made the size of the Land Fill area for the garbage residuals of Boracay Island smaller. The Land Fill area was expected to be filled by 2017, however, by 2012, there is no more space for the garbage residuals from Boracay, the reason why the garbage residuals from Boracay Island are still in Boracay Island.
