The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has complained that its anti-smoke belching campaign has been receiving little support from most of local government units.


While the MMDA has already provided all of the LGUs with equipment necessary for emission testing, implementation has been hampered by lack of budget.


Late last year, the MMDA acquired 25 opacimeters, or emission-testing machines for diesel engines using a loan from the Asian Development Bank.

The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has complained that its anti-smoke belching campaign has been receiving little support from most of local government units.


While the MMDA has already provided all of the LGUs with equipment necessary for emission testing, implementation has been hampered by lack of budget.


Late last year, the MMDA acquired 25 opacimeters, or emission-testing machines for diesel engines using a loan from the Asian Development Bank.
