DAVAO City — Local drug reformists in the city now eye opportunities for additional support with the recent engagement made by the Davao City Anti-Drug Abuse Council (Cadac) to other stakeholders, particularly with a government agency and a private company.
Ronaldo Rivera, program director of Tabangan Atong Reformist Aron Naa’y Asenso (Tara Na!) of Cadac told reporters that they are pushing for partnership with the Davao Thermo Biotech Corporation, a composting plant with ultra-modern biotechnology that utilizes hyperthermophilic aerobic bacteria to biodegrade the waste.
Rivera said the partnership is aimed to curb down the garbage problem in Davao City and at the same time provide organic fertilizer to the “Gulayan ng Barangay” program for drug reformists.
The move, he added, would be of great help to the rehabilitation program of the government through the increase of production of gardening projects of drug reformists in the city.
“With this kind of program, it will resolve the problem of waste and will also provide a livelihood to our reformist,” said Rivera.
He also told reporters that the Davao Thermo Biotech made commitments to process collected biodegradable wastes free of charge within the first three months of partnership with Cadac and the Department of Social Welfare and Development. (davaotoday.com)
