CEBU, Philippines - The Mandaue City government is urging constituents to dispose off their waste properly following the collection of garbage during cleanup operations consisting of objects made of plastic.
The series of cleanups is being done in anticipation of the rainy season.
Architect Florentino Nimor, the Mandaue City Planning Officer who heads the city’s clean-up operations said the indiscriminate throwing of garbage cause flooding in the city every time it rains.
Nimor yesterday said the latest cleanup was done the other day near Tita Gwapa in Plaridel Street.
Last month, 25 manholes along M.C. Briones from Tipolo bridge to corner A.S. Fortuna were opened and cleaned. – THE FREEMAN
