Isko Moreno: Manila garbage situation to return to normal in 3 days
After saying that a health emergency will be declared in Manila due to the garbage crisis and termination of the operation of two garbage collections, Mayor Isko Moreno on Tuesday said that he expects the situation to return to normal in three days.
'I think naka-55% na kami. Ang tantsa naming mga three days babalik na sa normalization, hopefully,' Moreno said in a report of Jhomer Apresto on GMA Integrated News' Unang Balita.
(I think we are at 55%. Our estimate is that we will return to normal in three days, hopefully.)
According to Moreno, the two contractors, PhilEco and MetroWaste, stopped their operations in the city due to unsettled payments since January. Also, the former contractor Leonel is still unpaid.
Almost P400 million remains unsettled to PhilEco and MetroWaste, while P561 million is owed to previous contractor Leonel.
Since Monday, Moreno has been inspecting the collection of the accumulated garbage in the streets. —Joviland Rita/ VAL, GMA Integrated News
