QC gov’t gives aid to families affected by Payatas closure

The Quezon City council has pushed a resolution approved by Mayor Herbert Bautista giving financial assistance to families displaced by the shutdown of the Payatas sanitary landfill.

City Ordinance 2512-2016 or the “Quezon City Informal Economy Ordinance” seeks to protect affected vulnerable sectors in the area including waste recyclers, segregators, and pickers.
