Transcript
00:00As far as Manila is concerned, in some cities in the NCR, garbage is piled up after the New Year celebration.
00:07The former garbage collector of Lunzod did not visit the city.
00:11We will now talk to Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna. Mayor Lacuna, good morning.
00:17Good morning, Egan. Good morning to all of you.
00:21How would you like it if the garbage collector of Lunzod visited the city?
00:27We will continue to collect the piled up garbage in the whole of Manila.
00:33When did that happen, Mayor?
00:36According to our recent report from our DPS,
00:43the former service provider did not collect garbage in other places before the New Year.
00:53That's why the amount of garbage collected by the new service provider did not double when January 1st arrived.
01:04When was the contract of the former waste management collector supposed to end?
01:11December 31st, Egan.
01:14December 31st? Yes.
01:17Were the new contractors not able to carry the garbage?
01:22They were the ones who carried the garbage since January 1st.
01:26However, those who left the garbage on December 30 and 31st, they were the ones who collected the garbage.
01:35That's why four times the amount of garbage collected by them.
01:41When did they stop carrying the garbage if the contract was until December 31st?
01:48There are places where they don't collect garbage until December 31st.
01:53That's why we have countrymen who are calling us,
01:58they were not able to pass by the former service provider since December 31st.
02:03That's why they are taking out their garbage on the streets,
02:10which was collected by our new service providers on January 1st.
02:15But Mayor, is this the system where I will just throw the garbage outside my house?
02:22Are we not going to the collector?
02:25That's what we are calling on our countrymen.
02:30While the garbage is not being collected, they should not go outside.
02:38However, we cannot blame them if they have a lot of garbage inside their homes.
02:45That's why, maybe they want to collect the garbage on the streets.
02:53I am asking for an amendment to the problem of our garbage to our countrymen.
03:01We will do our best to finish all our garbage collection this week and we will return to our regular collection.
03:13Yes. Establishments and businesses are complaining that they are affected, especially those who are sick.
03:20Is the LGU able to help them?
03:23First of all, we are prioritizing these establishments, especially our countrymen.
03:30We are prioritizing them in collecting garbage.
03:35Our health centers are also open to help those who are sick because of the collected garbage.
03:46We have been collecting garbage since January 1 for 24 hours.
03:55Will this not affect the route of the translation?
04:00No. We have ensured that before the translation arrives, the process will be clean.
04:11Meanwhile, there are two pistas, Santo Nino, Tundo and Nazareno. How is the LGU's involvement in these pistas?
04:21Like in the past years, drinking is prohibited in these places.
04:31Of course, the police are working together to maintain the order in these places in the upcoming pistas.
04:42Lastly, is there a compensation for the former garbage contractor who committed a crime?
04:49That's what we're studying now. We will surely compensate whoever caused this big problem.
04:59Thank you very much Manila Mayor Hanny Lacuna. Be careful. Happy Fiesta.
05:03Happy Fiesta. Thank you very much. Good morning.
