Mayor Neil Lizares and Engr. Warren Paduano welcomed a group of experts to Talisay City to check how the city manages its trash and ensure compliance with RA9003, the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. These experts came from different places and include Jimmy Cambarijon from Hinoba-an, Engr. Glicerio Cabatac from Kabankalan, Shiela Joan Bautista from the Provincial Government, Vinci Raymundo from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region 6, Sheelamile Labrador from DENR EMB Region 6, and Mila Lourdes Tandoy from Pulupandan.

This visit happened on June 28 in the Mayor's Conference Room. The goal was to make sure that Talisay City follows the rules of RA9003. This law helps cities and towns manage their waste properly to keep the environment clean.

The experts and the Provincial Office worked together with the DENR Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) to look closely at how the city handles waste. They wanted to see if Talisay City is doing a good job and following all the rules.

Special thanks were given to the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) team, led by Engr. Warren Paduano, for their hard work and help during the evaluation.
