VIII- ANALYSIS OF ACA

.Every individual should take the responsibility of managing their wastes properly. Public awareness
campaigns are essential tools for environment protection. Thus, there is really a need to encourage the people
to be part of this objective, protecting our environment through proper waste management. Moreover, in its
Administrative Order No. 50-1998, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) prescribed guidelines for identifying and establishing sanitary landfills such that,
among others: (a) the site should not be
located in existing or proposed residential, commercial, or urban development areas, and
areas with archeological, cultural, and historical importance; (b) the site should not be
located in or up gradient of shallow unconfined aquifers for drinking water supply; (c) the
site should not be located near airports; and (d) the site should not be located in soft and
settling soils.
IX- CONCLUSION
 Supporting the Non-Government organization who advocates the cleanliness of the
environment specially Manila.
 In the help of LGU and Non-government organization we will save the environment.
X- PLANS OF ACTION
 Moreover, RA No. 9003 prohibits the littering, throwing, dumping of waste
matters in public places, or causing or permitting the same. Any person who
commits this offense shall, upon conviction, be fined for not less than P300 but
not more than P1, 000, or render community service for not less than one day to
not more than 15 days to an LGU where such prohibited acts are committed.
These laws may have never seen the light of day, however, with garbage ending up on
streets, sewages, canals and other waterways. This phenomenon may be attributed to,
among others, the absence of implementing ordinances in some LGUs, residents’ lack
of participation in promoting solid waste management, and the general public’s
limited awareness on waste disposal and segregation.

Umali was quoted in news reports as saying: “One of the major problems
we encounter until now is the human and cultural behavior. We can’t clean
the environment alone.”
XI- REFERENCESS
Human society sustains itself by transforming nature into garbage,” said aphorist and
Professor Mason Cooley.
Unsurprisingly, the Philippines generates more solid waste as population increases,
living standards are enhanced, and urban and rural areas are being developed.
According to a report by the Senate Economic Planning Office (SEPO), the country’s
waste generation steadily increased from 37,427.46 tons per day in 2012 to 40,087.45
tons in 2016.

from 37,427.46 tons per day in 2012 to 40,087.45 tons in 2016.
Meanwhile, solid wastes produced by Philippine cities are expected to increase by 165 % to
77,776 tons by 2025.
Residential areas produce the most amounts of solid wastes at 57%, while wastes from
commercial establishments, institutional sources, and industrial or manufacturing sector
accounted for 27%, 12%, and 4% of the total waste generated, respectively.
“More than 15 years after the passage of [the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (RA No.
9003)], enforcement and compliance with the law remains a daunting task due to technical,
political, and financial limitations of concerned agencies and [local government units (LGU)],”
said the SEPO. “Majority of LGUs have yet to comply with the provisions of RA 9003,
particularly on the establishment of local [solid waste management (SWM)] Boards, submission
of SWM Plans, establishment of [materials-recovery facilities], and closure of all open and
controlled dumpsites.”
RA No. 9003 prohibits the use of open dumps for solid waste disposal and enjoins the LGUs to
convert their open dumps into sanitary landfill.
Moreover, in its Administrative Order No. 50-1998, the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR) prescribed guidelines for identifying and establishing sanitary landfills such
that, among others: (a) the site should not be

with archeological, cultural, and historical importance; (b) the site should not be located in or up
gradient of shallow unconfined aquifiers for drinking water supply; (c) the site should not be
located near airports; and (d) the site should not be located in soft and settling soils.
As of last year, however, the DENR’s National Solid Waste Management Commission disclosed
that a total of 384 open dumps still operate nationwide except in Metro Manila.
Moreover, RA No. 9003 prohibits the littering, throwing, dumping of waste matters in public
places, or causing or permitting the same. Any person who commits this offense shall, upon
conviction, be fined for not less than P300 but not more than P1,000, or render community
service for not less than one day to not more than 15 days to an LGU where such prohibited acts

Introduction
Nowadays, we are suffering environmental dilemmas such as global warming,

flash floods and etc. One of the causes of these problems is the misbehavior of the
people towards waste management. Some people are reckless in throwing their
garbage. They do not think of the possible results of their actions on the environment
as well as on health.
The song entitled “Heal the World” by Michael Jackson, simply implies that
we need to do something to help our sick world due to improper waste disposal,
illegal logging, coastal littering and etc. Thus, proper waste management is one way
to make it possible.
What is Waste Management?
Waste Management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal,

managing and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials
produced by human activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their
effect on health, the environment or aesthetics. It is a distinct practice from resource
recovery which focuses on delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources. All
waste materials, whether they are solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive fall within the
remit of waste management.
Waste management practices can differ for developed and developing nations,
for urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial producers. Management of
non-hazardous waste residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is
usually is the responsibility of local government authorities, while management for
non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is the responsibility of the generator
subject to local, national or international controls.
