| local.seafdecaqd.extract | The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is calling on newly elected officials of local government units (LGUs) to prioritize the implementation of environmental laws, particularly on solid waste management. Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu told city and municipal mayors that they have a duty under the Ecological Solid Waste Management law, which holds the LGUs primarily responsible for waste segregation and disposal. Cimatu said the DENR is also counting on LGUs on the implementation of the Clean Air and Clean Water laws. Last week, the DENR issued a cease and desist order against the municipal government of Limay in Bataan for operating an open dumpsite right beside a creek flowing to Mamala River, which drains into Manila Bay. The DENR ordered Limay officials to stop the operation of the dumpsite and conduct immediate rehabilitation of the area. | en |
