00:00 Aside from flooding, some residents in Ubando, Bulacan are also facing problems
00:06 due to the foul smell coming from a sanitary landfill.
00:10 This is what Ryan Lasigas exclusive has to say.
00:14 During the rainy season, not only flooding is the problem for some residents of Ubando, Bulacan.
00:23 When the month of March and August comes, the smell is all over their barangay in Ubando.
00:30 Rico has been enduring the smell for 10 years.
00:33 He doesn't have any explanation for the smell.
00:36 It really stinks.
00:38 For example, when the smell of garbage is coming, especially when it's raining,
00:44 the smell rises. It smells like that.
00:47 It's just a mask. We just wear a mask. Sometimes, when there's no mask, we wear a bimbo.
00:53 Some residents of Ubando have already posted their problems on social media.
00:59 But where does the foul smell come from?
01:03 From the landfill. It's near the landfill in Ubando.
01:10 The local government of Ubando also has a problem with the smell.
01:15 The smell we have is really bad, especially during the rainy season.
01:21 You can see the pile of empty dump sites.
01:28 When it rains, it spreads to the town of Ubando.
01:34 The barangay of Pangulo, Pag-asa, Katanghalan, Paliwa, and San Pascual are almost affected.
01:42 From the municipality of Ubando, the pile of garbage in the Navotas sanitary landfill is visible.
01:50 It hurts my nose. It's hard to explain.
01:54 They are also working on a solution.
01:57 We are also concerned that the Navotas dump site should be finished.
02:05 We will also discuss until when they will offer it.
02:12 Now, we will have solutions to protect our fellowmen.
02:23 The whole town of Ubando also clarified that there is no landfill and the LGU has no plan to build a landfill.
02:31 No one applied to the local government of Ubando.
02:35 The proposed Ubando sanitary landfill did not operate.
02:43 As far as I know, the landfill has been sold to the businessmen.
02:54 But if they don't have a landfill, where do their garbage go?
02:59 A large portion of the garbage that we collected is distributed by the Holcim company for their use.
03:07 The rest of the garbage is collected by the MRF.
03:13 The MRF mixes the ingredients in the sand.
03:19 When it is ground, it is given to households that want to plant their crops.
03:27 The sand that is being sold is given to our solid waste.
03:36 Some residents of Ubando in Bulacan called for help.
03:40 All are affected. They should find a way to find a solution.
03:46 Because it's not their fault.
03:48 Meanwhile, we tried to get the LGU's name for the Navotas, but they have no response to our calls and texts.
03:56 Meanwhile, based on the website of the Phil Ecology Systems Corporation,
04:00 they are blaming the Navotas Sanitary Landfill for 3,000 tons of garbage from different parts of the NCR
04:08 that is being thrown into 40 hectares of landfill every day.
04:13 It is also stated on their website that they are following the standards and specifications of the RA 9003
04:21 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.
