Senator Loren Legarda today welcomed President Rodrigo Duterte’s pronouncement to look into the local government units’ (LGUs) discretionary funds and how they are using it to manage garbage in their respective communities.
Legarda agreed that there was no reason for LGUs not to effectively manage solid waste in their localities because aside from having discretionary funds, the ecological management of solid waste is mandated by law.
