What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Councilor in Cebu City urged Mayor Nestor Archival to present both a Short-Term Solid Waste Management Action Plan (July–December 2026) and a Long-Term Plan (2026–2036). The request followed widespread complaints from residents, barangay officials, and business owners regarding uncollected waste. The demand for transparency came after the Environmental Management Bureau 7 issued an order to clear the South Road Properties transfer station.
