Through the DOST Balik Scientist Program, led by Dr. Jebie A. Balagosa, in collaboration with Central Philippine University (CPU) and the Iloilo City Government through the Office of the General Services Officer, we are working together to advance sustainable waste management, research innovation, and local capacity development.
At the Iloilo City Sanitary Landfill, our team is exploring waste recovery and resource utilization opportunities alongside the City's landfill operations and waste-to-value development plans, identifying which waste materials may be suitable for sustainable construction and ground improvement, and which may have better alternative uses
Beyond research, this collaboration brings together CPU students, researchers, research assistants, and OGSO personnel for hands-on learning, technical knowledge-sharing, and skills development.
Our vision goes beyond turning waste into valuable resources. It is about building local expertise, empowering future scientists and engineers, and strengthening Iloilo City's capacity to develop practical, science-based solutions.
From the landfill to the laboratory, we are working together toward a more sustainable Iloilo City!
