This document summarizes Cebu City's septage management program. It provides background on the need for the program due to dumping of septic wastes polluting water bodies. It outlines key milestones and timelines, including the passage of the Septage Management Ordinance in 2014. The ordinance established components like a Septage Management Board, septic hauler accreditation system, manifest system, septic tank inventory, mandatory desludging, and communal septic tanks. The current status updates that a pilot project is underway involving data collection, hauler accreditation, and operating treatment infrastructure. Ways to further improve the system are discussed, such as scheduled desludging based on inventory and constructing communal

Most Philippine cities have drainage systems of some kind. There are no separate storm water and waste water (sewerage) systems. Wastewater from septic systems freely mixes with the stormwater. In practice this is not as bad as it sounds as the volume of storm water is large and may well flush out the drainage system and its contents into the streams and rivers. The installation and maintenance of drainage systems (along with roads and water systems), is one of the major responsibility of local government

DENR 7 gave a presentation on the Central Cebu Protected Landscape (CCPL) which was established by Republic Act 9486. The CCPL is composed of the Buhisan, Mananga, Sudlon, Kotkot, and Central Cebu National Park areas. It is 29,062 hectares, spans over 5 LGUs and 46 barangays. It is classified as a key biodiversity area, important bird area, and conservation priority. There are 19,800 households in the CCPL with a population of 106,000 (as of 2000) with an annual growth rate of 5%. Livelihood opportunities in the area include farming, transport (habal-habal), and coal-making. Threats to the environment include unsustainable agriculture, settlement in critical watershed areas, solid waste mismanagement, and erosion. RA 9486 does not yet have an IRR, and the CCPL does not have a clear demarcation of zones (strict protection and multiple-use zones) in which development is or is not permissible. Additionally, LGUs are not so involved and there has been no education and information campaign conducted.
Environmental Status and Water Resources of the Province of Cebu - March 2016Rehne Gibb Larena
Atty. Czareem Joseph Estella of PENRO gave a presentation on the State of the Environment and Natural and Water Resources. He discussed more in detail Executive Order 02-2016 which convenes the Provincial Water Resources Authority. He discussed the Province’s forest cover which spans over a total land area of 507,839 hectares of which 64,116 hectares is protected. He said there is a net loss of forest cover of 5,683 hectares per year. However, with the national greening program, 28,298 hectares have been reforested from 2011-2015. In regards to solid waste management, he reported that 41 LGUs have open and controlled dumpsites, but only 10 LGUs have sanitary landfills (SLFs). There are 31 LGUs with a 10-year solid waste management plan and 20 LGUs whose plans have expired. PENRO has a water management section which coordinates with other NGOs and national government agencies to implement water policies.
Ms. Evelyn Nacario-Castro, head of the MCDCB RPOD PMO and Executive Director of RAFI-EADSC gave a presentation on Mega Cebu. She noted the important role that water plays in competitiveness as it is an important factor which investors, who provide jobs, consider before investing in Cebu. She added that Cebu’s growing population in the urban area creates a larger demand for resources and sources, especially water. The urban area must develop in a smart and sustainable manner in order to maximize the distribution of these resources.
Environmental Education for Sustainable Development - DENR-EMB-VIIRehne Gibb Larena
Rachelle Ybañez of DENR EMB 7 discussed the agency’s efforts for Environmental Education for Sustainable Development which is outlined in RA 9512. RA 9512, the Environmental Education and Awareness Act is intended to impose the value of conservation, protection, and the rehabilitation of natural resources to the general public. The goal is to develop sustainable communities in schools, cities, and companies and provide education to both the formal and informal sectors. An important aspect of the program is to integrate climate change in LGU’s CLUPs and other plans with the involvement of the academe and the private sector.

River emits foul smell, Pasil folk complain
Sun.Star Cebu, Sunday, July 13, 2014
“Residents of Barangay Pasil are asking for the intervention of the Cebu City Government
on the dumping of human and septic wastes on a portion of the Guadalupe River that
traverses in their area.”
Rampant dumping of
septic wastes in our
water bodies pose health
and environmental
hazards.
The Metro Cebu Dev’t &
Coordinating Board (MCDCB)
urges local government units to
pass an ordinance for mandatory
desludging of septic wastes.
"Maybe we should request the
legislative bodies of the LGUs to
pass an ordinance on it," said Cebu
Gov. Hilario Davide III, chairman of
MCDCB.
