He cited that they chose San Carlos City because Cong. Saldy S. Villa of Siquijor sought the help of the DENR in the construction of their sanitary landfill and wastewater treatment facilities where San Carlos City is famous of.

“San Carlos City is an ideal place to benchmark for the said project because of its well-managed environmental programs”, he said.
