00:00Of course, since it's Thursday, I'm with my partner every Thursday.

00:05Good afternoon to you again, Director Nicolette.

00:08We'll ask for an update from you here at Clark Development Corporation.

00:13What is the latest development here in the issue of the Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill?

00:22The operator of the Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill,

00:29their contract with Clark Development Corporation expired on October 6, 2024.

00:39They had a 25-year contract for services with CDC

00:44to operate this sanitary landfill in Clark.

00:49That expired and now, there is no longer any operation to be done there

00:56because under the Build-Operate-Transfer Law,

00:59after a fixed-term agreement under this law,

01:03this property must be returned to the government

01:09to be used for other national projects.

01:13Okay, so their contract has expired

01:16and they need to follow this Build-Operate-Transfer Law, Director Nicolette.

01:25So what is the news that there is a forcible or forced takeover of the facility

01:33that Clark Development Corporation and the Basis Conversion Development Authority

01:39did here in the said landfill?

01:41There is no truth to the forcible takeover of the property

01:48where the Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill was built.

01:51The CDC, as a regulatory body,

01:54only issued a Notice to Locate and a Cease and Desist Order for their operation there

02:02because they no longer have the authority to operate.

02:06This is what we call business permits in LGUs.

02:11So this is the authority to operate.

02:14If you do not have a valid contract with the CDC,

02:17you will not be given this authority to operate.

02:21So there is no longer any operation there.

02:24So for now, you said that there is no longer any operation.

02:30What are they doing there?

02:33Is there still a continued violation of the agreement?

02:37And what is the status of the Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill?

02:41As of today, Ninia, we have not seen or reported

02:47that there is still an operation there in the Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill.

02:52That is why we are also reminding other contractors

02:59in the operator of the Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill

03:03that there should be no operation there in Clark.

03:07So Director Nicolette, what is the plan of the CDC

03:12in the left-over facility of the Metro-Clark Waste Management Corporation

03:16in the Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill?

03:19Well, because the registered owner of this property

03:23where the Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill is located

03:26is under the name of the BCDA or Basis Conversion and Development Authority.

03:32They are the trustees of the Republic of the Philippines.

03:36This was also put forward by our Supreme Court

03:39in the Republic of the Philippines v. Heirs of Pernabe in 2020

03:45that the government or the registration of this land is only for the interest of the government of the Philippines.

03:52So this is for the national government.

03:54And according to the BCDA, they wrote to the CDC in April

04:00that they have a plan to develop this property.

04:05As for the specific plans for this,

04:08it would be better if we ask the authorities from the BCDA.

04:13So we are not yet sure if this will continue to be a sanitary landfill

04:18or maybe it will be different after their contract, right?

04:23So how, Director Nicolette, are the LGUs nearby or those who are worried

04:28that they might not be able to carry garbage

04:32because if a huge sanitary landfill closes, where will they bring their garbage?

04:40It is also not true, Ms. Dina, those who spread on social media

04:43that there are no alternative waste facilities

04:46because we also have a certification from the DENR

04:50that there are other facilities outside Clark, like in Pampanga,

04:55we have inspections and we continuously monitor the operations of these

05:02alternative waste facilities in Clark.

05:07All right.

05:08So thank you very much, Director Nicolette,

05:12for explaining this issue so that there will be no more fake news

05:16that our countrymen will hear.

05:19Thank you for your updates from the CDC.
