Good morning. Ah, as you can see, nandito tayo para tignan talaga dito niyo makikita at saka doun sa susunod na pupuntahan natin ah with the in McLaren River ah makikita niyo talaga kung gaano kalaki ang problema ng basura at kung gaano ah kung ito itong halimbawa ito itong pumping station na ito um 7 years na ay hindi never never na never pong gumana last year lang po gum o never pa pala umandar ito. Ngayon lang gumana ito nung last year nung ah nung typhoon season ulit last year. Pero makita ninyo na kapag hindi natin lilinis ito, barado kaagad yung pumping station at ganyan karami ang pumasok na basura. Ah ito galing naman hindi dito yan galing galing sa labas yan that that came from Manila Bay hindi ba ang pumasok dito dahil nasabayan na naman yung dati natin nakikita nasabayan na naman ng ah high tide at saka yung pagpasok ng ng flood waters at kaya't yan naipit napunta rito at ganyan ang nangyayari. Ang ginagawa ngayon lililinis muna yung ah lililinis muna 'yung tubig na pumapasok diyan sa pumping station. Ah ayan na yung mga basura na linload na at tatapon. Andito si Sharon uh ng Department of Energy dahil pinag-uusapan namin ng mabuti ah 'yung waste to energy ng mga plano. ah mukhang patuloy naman ang ating mga ginagawa, ang ating programa at ah we are starting to ah to move forward at mag-a-auction na raw mag-o-action na raw doon sa kung saan kasi bibilhin ng ng Department of Energy yung power na manggagaling doon sa waste to energy kaya't yun ang pinag yun ang yung nine-negotiate nila ngayon. So ah 'yan ang yan ang tanging solusyon dahil 'yung mga landfill puno na at pamahal na ng pamahal ang pagpapadala. Kaya't ang amin na lang iniisip is the location para 'yung mga LGU ang kasi ang sistema diyan ng LGU ang bahala sa pagkolekta at saka pagdala sa ngayon sa landfill. Ah sa ang ating iniisip imbes na landfill dadalhin dadalhin sa waste to energy plant. So tinitignan natin kung ano 'yung mga location para naman hindi masyadong malaki ang kailangang bayaran ng LJU para sa hauling na dadalhin yung basura kung saan man yung magiging waste to energy plant. So ito yung mga patuloy natin na ah ito yung mga patuloy natin mga iba't ibang estratehya para mabawasan ng flood control. Maayos na naghahandahan na natin na nade-dedge yung mga waterways, mga kanal natin, yung mga steroid. Dahan-dahan na nabubuksan na natin pero nabubuksan natin dahil nabuksan o naman ngayon ang basura. Pumapasok nga dito sa ating mga pumping station at nababara lahat. Kaya't ah we have to go through the entire process kung saan kayang makuha yung basura na bago pumasok dito sa city at bago bago mapunta mabara yung ating mga pumping station. So patuloy lang ang ating ah trabaho para mabawas-bawasan ang ah ang ah baha dito sa hindi lamang sa Metro Manila, lahat ng ah lahat ng buong Pilipinas at iba-iba ang sagot. Hindi naman pare-pareho ang ang problema. Iba-iba yung sagot. Nakita naman ninyo yung sa car eh yun talaga yung terrain doon. Mahirap talaga ang terrain doon para maggawa ng gawa ng solusyon ang flood control. But we will we will continue to study. We have already some very good studies that we are basing our initiatives on and our strategies on. So it might take a little time dahil ang katotohanan niyan marami dito sa ating mga facilities ay hindi na pinaandar at matagal ng pinabayaan. Ah lahat ito yung dredging. As I said yesterday 12 years na hindi tayo nag-dedge. Ngayon pa lang tayo nagde-dreading ulit. Ah itong ganitong planta itong pumping station ah mula nung tinayo hindi pa hindi pa napaandar kahit ah kahit minsan ngayon lang napapaandar ang dahilan daw dahil walang budget sa gasolina kaya hindi pwedeng maandar eh hindi ko na malaman kung saan napunta yung budget na yon pero maibabalik ire-restore natin yan para maging ah mas maayos ang patakbo ng ating flood control facilities. Okay sir proposals to impose penalties improper was >> well you know there are two aspects to that problem uh one of the one of the things if you look I I remember if you look at the the places around the country ah kung saan clean and green where where where the they are awardies of clean and green ang una nilang kanilang ginawa is that naglagay sila ng basurahan ang problema kung minsan walang basurahan walang pupunta Walang itata walang walang paglalagyan ng basura. I look at a place like a country like Japan. A country like Japan they just don't throw their basura anywhere. They keep it in the pockets and throw it at home because there is a very good system for bringing for bringing the the garbage out. That is the first problem. So it's not useful to to find people for not throwing their garbage if there is no place to put their garbage. Uh so that's what that's of course people are aware that there are fines. Nobody wants to be fine. Wala namang gusto ng mamumultahan pero kailangan bigyan din natin ng facilities na kung saan tropang pwede itapon yung basura. Ganun lang kasimple kung minsan yan eh. Yun ang minsan ganyon lang kasimple yung problema eh. Okay. The situation would you categorize this as garbage? >> Yeah, it certainly is. But just look at it. Uh, does that look critical to you? It does to me. So, yes, I wouldn't call it a garbage crisis, but that is the problem that we are facing. >> So, iyung waste to energies something you can do uh in in the short term? Uh it's not so easy to do because we have to put the system together. We've never done it before. We still have to Well, in terms of the in terms of the technical side that's done. Natapos na natin yun. Uh now what we are trying to do is to put the system together who where the uh how it will be what is the relationship with the LGUs to the uh OS2 energy plant uh where the locations are uh what group is actually going to come in. We already have identified like I said they're already auctioning uh by maybe in a couple of months uh on how much uh will be sold how much energy will be sold with the Department of Energy and at what rate. So it's a new system that we really have to start putting in place. Maybe we will begin to see it in a year, a year and a half. We push it as quickly as we can. Certainly.
