The visit aimed to witness the high-tech Material Recycling Facility (MRF) located at the Eco-Park, which is recognized for promoting sustainable waste management 

practices. LGU Jagna officials headed by Vice Mayor Teofisto Pagar Jr. warmly welcomed the LGU Mabinay officials at the Goyo Hall, where they were provided with a quick orientation of the LGU-owned MRF’s operations. Municipal Administrator Teresa Gina Ranan and Engr.

of cooperation and collaboration among LGUs in promoting sustainable waste management practices. Contributed photo
