SELF LEARNING ACTIVITY FOR MAY 31-JUNE 4,2021 (Week 16)

I. Research.
Presentation. You will need to research the means and ways of garbage disposal in terms of
sustainable development in the province of Bataan and make a short presentation about
them. Here is an outline on how to make your presentation.
A. Demographics and Geography

BATAAN TEN-YEAR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 2018 – 2027

a) Population

The province’s 11 municipalities and 1 city have for the year 2010 a total population
of 687,482 representing 28.85% of the region’s population and ranked fifth (5th)
among Region III provinces with least population. With an annual growth rate of
2.11%, it increased by 129,823 from 2000 to 2010 with Mariveles and Dinalupihan
contributing more than one fourth of the total provincial increase in population.

b) Places

Abucay
Bagac
Balanga City
Dinalupihan
Hermosa
Limay
Mariveles
Morong
Orani
Orion
Pilar
Samal
 c) Health and Well-being

Hospitals and rural health units (RHUs) in the province are required by LGUs to
manage their healthcare wastes. The usual handling of healthcare wastes by these
facilities is chlorine treatment. Treated sharps are also entombed in concrete and
buried underground. All hospitals in Balanga City also avail the services of
SafeWaste, Inc., an accredited hauler/treater of medical waste. SafeWaste collects,
transports, treats and disposes of the hospital wastes in a sanitary landfill at Brgy.
Kalangitan, Capas, Tarlac, on a twice-a-month schedule.
B. Culture

b) Economic System

Bataan’s economy is predominantly service led. Wholesale and retail trade accounts
for the bigger chunk of service-related businesses particularly in Balanga City.
Another important service sub-sector in Bataan is transportation, communication and
storage.

c) Educational System
Information, education and communication (IEC) on SWM is primarily handled by
the city and municipal governments. They use different media to disseminate
information on SWM, but the more common ones are public announcements (PA
system) and posting of signage, since these cover a wider audience. Talks in the
barangays and stakeholder meetings are also conducted to orient the constituents on
SWM policies and regulations implemented by the city/municipality, especially on
waste segregation and segregated collection. IEC materials, such as flyers and
brochures are also distributed among households. Although the LGUs recognize the
vital role of IEC in the compliance of the people on proper SWM, they have reported
that the said IEC activities are not regularly conducted.

d) Environment

Bataan has abundant water resources in the form of rivers, streams, creeks, waterfalls
and springs. There are more than 100 rivers in the province radiating from the
northern and the southern mountain groups (please see Figure 2.4). These are
important not only for irrigation but also for navigation and fishing. Talisay and
Almacen Rivers are the two major rivers in Bataan. Talisay has its headwaters in the
Mariveles mountain group extending up to Pilar and Balanga City into Manila Bay,
while Almacen River has its headwaters in the Natib Mountains extending down to
Hermosa and exits through the Orani Channel to Manila Bay.

e) Knowledge Systems, Beliefs, and Practices

The city and municipalities in the province have their own garbage collection vehicles
(e.g. dump truck, compactor, buggy) and garbage disposal equipment (e.g. bulldozer,
backhoe, payloader). Some barangays also have their own dump truck or compactor
used for waste collection. At the barangay level, the most common vehicle or
equipment used in waste collection is the buggy. The city, municipalities and
barangays also have existing manpower performing tasks related to SWM,
specifically waste collection and disposal. Staff includes truck drivers, equipment
operators, street sweepers, and truck helpers.
C. Challenges

a) Problems Faced

Given that population and economic activities will grow over the next ten years, it is
estimated that by 2026, the Province of Bataan will be generating a total of
384,265.08 kg/day or 384.27 tons/day of solid wastes. The Municipality of
Dinalupihan is expected to surpass Balanga City and have the highest waste
generation by 2026, at 80.83 tons/day, due to the town’s higher PCG

b) Changes Adapted

Based on individual WACS results, each component LGU of Bataan has come up
with its own waste diversion and disposal targets over the ten-year planning period of
its SWM Plan (Tables 4.3a to 4.4b). Extending these targets up to 2026 using the
LGUs’ maximum potential for diversion (MPD), the Province of Bataan is expected
to divert 331,634.05 kg/day (331.63 tons/day) of its generated waste (biodegradable,
recyclable and residuals with potential for diversion) by 2026, representing 86.30%
(Table 4.3a & b). Conversely, collective waste diversion activities in the province
should result in the disposal of only 52,631.03 kg/day (52.63 tons/day), equivalent to
13.70% (Table 4.4a & b). These maximum diversion and minimum disposal targets
are broken down into increments over the next ten years, as shown in Tables 4.3a to
4.4b.

D. Reflection/Conclusion
SWM is a good idea and I think it is being executed in the right way. cause we can see that
every municipality in bataan is following it. And I believe that every municipality here are
doing their best to do what is necessary so that we can attain sustainable development of our
garbage disposal system.
