DAVAO CITY — At least 57 national and international environmental groups said they are “deeply concerned” over the integrity of the claims of the Japan International Cooperation Agency that it has not been supporting the development of a multi-billion peso waste-to-energy incinerator project in this city.
They also questioned JICA for its alleged lack of accountability on past and present efforts in promoting and investing in false solutions to the waste management and climate in the city. In August 2022, the City Council of Davao passed a resolution asking President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to provide a counterpart fund, a move detested by environmental advocates as the amount requested is equivalent to more than 60 percent of the entire annual budget of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
He said the agency’s cooperation with the Philippines has always centered on “integrated society efforts” in addressing issues on climate change.
