ILOILO CITY: The Iloilo City government is now converting five hectares of its 22-hectare dump in Calajunan, Mandurriao, into a sanitary landfill in compliance with Republic Act 9003, the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act.

Mayor Jerry P. Treñas said that the five hectares are for the first phase of the conversion that will cost the city P90 million.

He endorsed to the city council a proposal to secure a loan from the Development Bank of the Philippines for the project.
