00:00The very first sewage and solid waste treatment plant

00:03is now helping to maintain the cleanliness in El Nido, Palawan

00:07which is a tourist destination.

00:09The natural plant is also helping to contain the contamination of water.

00:14Jesse Etienza is the center of the news.

00:19This is the town of El Nido, located in the province of Palawan.

00:24You will be amazed by the natural beauty.

00:28Because the place is far away,

00:29the business is based in the tourism industry.

00:33At the same time, the problem with sewage treatment

00:37is that it is possible to cause pollution to the water

00:39and damage to the environment.

00:42That's why in 2023,

00:44the Palawan Provincial Government opened,

00:47through the Provincial Water Development Office of Palawan Water,

00:51the very first sewage and solid waste treatment plant

00:55that is powered by solar energy.

00:58The main purpose of our STP here in the town of El Nido

01:02is to treat three types of waste

01:04because that is what causes pollution.

01:06Wastewater,

01:08septage,

01:08and biodegradable solid waste.

01:11There are a lot of tourists coming here

01:13and it's becoming crowded.

01:16And since it's overcrowded,

01:18the environment can no longer have self-cleansing.

01:23With the help of the sewage treatment plant,

01:25the wastewater is directly collected from the septic tanks

01:30of each house or structure connected to the facility.

01:33According to experts,

01:35it avoids contamination of the water beneath the ground.

01:39As to the Local Government Unit Ordinance of 2002,

01:44Series of 001,

01:45it mandates that all the residentials,

01:48commercials, and any private establishment

01:51should be treated for their wastewater disposals.

01:55Be it be connected or they should have their own

01:59sewage solid waste treatment plant facility.

02:02According to the Association of Accredited Tourist Accommodation of El Nido,

02:06or AATAEN,

02:08all of their 70 members of the tour operators

02:12are now using the sewage treatment plant.

02:15Let's just think about the future of El Nido.

02:18Let's bread and butter the environment,

02:20especially in our tourism area.

02:23So, it will add more years to El Nido, right?

02:28Like 10, 20, 30 years.

02:30Because if we don't take care of it,

02:32maybe in 10 years, El Nido will be gone.

02:34Correct?

02:34The environmental impact is huge

02:37when it comes to environmental issues.

02:40It will create more opportunities

02:43for those who will benefit in the future.

02:47The Department of Environment and Natural Resources

02:51also approved the municipal government of El Nido

02:53for the construction of the facility.

02:56As of now, 80% of the residential,

02:59commercial, and institutional structures

03:02are now connected to the sewage treatment plant.

03:05From the town of El Nido in the province of Palawan,
