MEF also provided assistance in developing action plans and ordinances on solid waste management and in conducting an intensive information and education campaign. MEF also provided continuous assistance to barangays combined with monitoring and evaluation schemes.  A total of 190 barangay MRFs, 250 Purok MRFs and 190 Vermi Culture Facilities were constructed.

The Province of Siquijor is the third smallest province in the Philippines, both in population and land area. But this tiny and remote island and being a member of the Central Visayas region – the leader in tourism in the country, was reported to be one of the top tourist destinations in the Philippines last 2018. Aside from its 95,984 residents (2015 census), both local and international visitors are crowding the “Island of Fire” to experience its pristine waters, beautiful beaches, and witness the alluring sunsets. However, with the continuous influx of tourists and the local economy booming, waste generation and disposal alongside grew. And without a concrete plan and an adequate waste management program, the beautiful island of Siquijor could be soon transformed into an “Island of Garbage”.
