00:00The former contractor of Manila LGU refused the accusation that they did not complete the collection of garbage on the last day of their contract.
00:09Mark Salazar is a witness.
00:15Garbage is piled up everywhere in Recto Avenue in Manila.
00:19If the collection of garbage is normal in Manila, it should have been collected this morning.
00:25Garbage is piled up slowly there.
00:27It's hard to speak.
00:29It was just a while ago.
00:31But since yesterday, the garbage truck hasn't passed Recto.
00:35It's even worse in Blumentritt because yesterday, no one was piling up garbage.
00:40The smell is suffocating.
00:42It smells like asthma.
00:44Yes, do you always go through this?
00:46Not just now.
00:48After Christmas, we will be pitiful here.
00:50Garbage was piled up on the street because Lionel Waste Management Corporation abandoned the garbage collection on the last day of their contract in Manila.
01:00We are currently validating all these reports sent to us.
01:05On the 31st, which is the last day of Lionel,
01:09they made an initial trash collection but it was not completed.
01:18For example, the collection in the barangay was done twice.
01:22They only did it once more.
01:24That's why on the 1st of January, everyone was surprised that there was a lot of piled up garbage.
01:30Lionel rejected this.
01:32They told their employees to do their job until the last day of their contract.
01:38They also said in their statement that they did not bid for the new contract
01:43because of the huge debt of the city to them, which reached more than P561 million.
01:49Their reason for not bidding for the 2025 contract due to alleged unpaid obligation of P561.4 million is false.
02:02First of all, they did not give that reason when they told the mayor that they will not participate.
02:08The reason that they gave was personal in nature.
02:12Not contractual in nature.
02:15Two contractors replaced Lionel, Metro Waste and Fileco.
02:19We checked with Metro Waste in Muriones, which is chasing the backlog collection.
02:25For today, there are still some areas, but the mayor has already made a pronouncement
02:32that Metro Waste and Fileco should finish the hauling of all backlog collection by Friday.
02:43The city hall assured that there is a system of garbage collection for the translation.
02:49And this will not add to the problem of the city in garbage.
02:53For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
