Engr. Ann Michelle Cardenas, former head of Palawan Water and now CEO of Sparkotech, highlights how the country's first-ever centralized Sewage and Solid Waste Treatment Plant (STP) in El Nido is transforming waste management in the Philippines. This state-of-the-art facility treats wastewater, septage, and biodegradable solid waste while operating on solar energy and biogas. With El Nido's booming tourism and environmental challenges, the STP plays a crucial role in preventing water pollution, reducing high E. coli levels, and promoting sustainable development.
