Councilors during their regular meeting referred the petition to a committee instead of discussing the contents of the petition dubbed as “People’s petition against the railroading of the P58-million-peso Land Bank loan for the super Black Hole garbage machine.”
The petitioners addressed their concerns to Governor Nestor Fongwan, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Land Bank of the Philippines, National Solid Waste Management Board, Commission on Audit and Department of Finance.
The two-page petition laments, “there is a need to study and validate the Black Hole technology. We understand that the municipal officials earlier went to Japan to inspect the machine but what we need is scientific validation not only by politicians but by competent authorities like scientists from the DOST and perhaps technical people from the DENR.”
The petition came days too late as the local council already approved the P58-million loan from local banks to fund the project which was recently installed at the Alno site.
Mayor Greg Abalos backed the project from the start and was successful in convincing the local council to approve the loan to acquire the technology.
The Black Hole Project was launched last month aiming to solve the municipality’s garbage woes. It came from Japan and was dubbed as a revolutionary project for waste disposal called the Zero Waste Management System (Super Black Hole Project).
The machine is a world-renowned Japanese invented magnetic garbage decomposer using low temperature plasma to decompose garbage.
The machine has been described to employ the use gases of two special magnets making the air nanomized, generating both plasma and heat; it neither emits carbon dioxide nor toxic gases and can be used to process all sorts of toxic chemicals or radioactive waste. - (SunStar / by Ma. Elena Catajan)
