THE CEBU City Council has approved the allocation of P1 million, to be sourced from funds coming from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR), for the procurement of deodorizer that will be used at the Inayawan sanitary landfill, which has been ordered closed by the Court of Appeals. There is a pending proposal to use the area as site for a Material Recovery Facility (MRF), which some councilors are questioning as another form of garbage dumping. The council members have agreed to submit a program of works and estimates for the MRF to the Environmental Management Bureau for assessment. The planned MRF is intended as a receiving site for different types of wastes, where these will be sorted and segregated. — The Freeman
