[Summary] => Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman Benjamin Abalos, Sr. announced yesterday a clean up of garbage on the streets of the metropolis for one week.

[Title] => DENR: Current laws not enough for solid waste disposal discipline

Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Environmental Management Bureau director Peter Anthony Abaya said that Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act is a positive step towards solving the problem of garbage.

[Title] => Abalos to close shops that obstruct traffic
[Summary] => Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman Benjamin Abalos has proposed to revoke the licenses of businesses which tend to obstruct traffic in the metropolis.
Abalos said that he would go after the run-of-the-mill businesses such as vulcanizing shops and repair shops that use roads as their working areas.
He pointed out that the operations of these businesses encroach on the roads and effectively narrow down the maneuverability of vehicles.
Another area of concern is the proliferation of illegal terminals on the roads which worsen the traffic situation.
