WHEREAS, the Integrated Solid Waste Management System initiated by the then Honorable Mayor Richard J. Gordon, was a multi-awarded innovative program of Olongapo and became a significant part in the attainment of the city’s mission-vision;

WHEREAS, the Environmental Sanitation & Management Office (ESMO) of the city effectively carries out its primary mandate which is garbage collection and solid waste management; providing and delivering basic services to the community;

WHEREAS, garbage collection though not an economic enterprise, needs to generate income to rationalize an effective collection system, not for the city government to profit but for better service to the people of Olongapo, thus, collection of fees were started with the passage of Ordinance Nos. 1, 4 and 6, Series of 1989; and Ordinance Nos. 6 and 33, Series of 1997;

WHEREAS, the garbage collected by ESMO increased from 90 tons in 2002 to 120 tons in 2008 due to rise in population and due to uncontrolled production of non-biodegradable containers and packaging materials by various industries that are generally pollutants;

Cost of fuel PhP22.00/liter PhP39.31/liter
Tire truck 4,700.00/tire 15,000.00/tire
Truck battery 1,500.00 4,500.00
Lubricants 380.00/gallon 900.00/gallon


WHEREAS, the ESMO, under the able leadership of Honorable Mayor James “Bong” Gordon, devised programs like waste segregation, and public education to adopt and practice composting, recycling, re-using and reducing to diminish waste generation and minimize environmental pollution. ESMO is also finding ways and means to generate and have other sources of income to help sustain its operations and programs;

WHEREAS, after careful and conscientious consultation with the people of Olongapo, ordinary tax-paying citizens, businessmen, civic and non-governmental organizations and barangay leaders, all have expressed unanimous consensus giving approval to the increase in garbage fee rates.

NOW, THEREFORE, on joint motion of Councilors Aquilino Y. Cortez, Jr. and Angelito W. Baloy, with the majority decision o of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present,
