President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Friday met with executives of the Kanadevia Corporation in Osaka, Japan for a waste-to-energy project in Manila.
''Masaya akong ibalita na katuwang natin ang Kanadevia Corporation ng Japan sa isang makasaysayang Waste-to-Energy project para sa Maynila,'' Marcos, who is in Japan for a working visit, said in a social media post.
(I'm happy to report that we are working with Kanadevia Corporation in Japan for a historic Waste-to-Energy project in Manila.)
''Sa proyektong ito, libo-libong tonelada ng basura ang gagawing malinis na enerhiya at makatutulong ito na mabawasan ang pagbaha, magbigay ng trabaho, at linisin ang ating mga komunidad,'' he added.
(In this project, tons of waste will be transformed to energy to help in addressing floods, providing jobs, and cleaning our communities.)
During the meeting, Kanadevia Corporation's investment plan for the Manila Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Project was tackled. The project will be done in partnership with the Phil. Ecology Systems Corp. (PhilEco), a major player in the design, construction, and operation of integrated sanitary solid waste management and disposal facilities in the Philippines.
Kanadevia Corporation specializes in environmental systems, including advanced WtE facilities, desalination plants and water treatment technologies.
The said firm was the Japanese proponent, co-investor and technology provider in the Manila WtE Project.
Further, Marcos also had a meeting with the executives of Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., ranked as among the world's top shipbuilders.
The company has been a key player in the international maritime industry since 1917, accounting for a significant share of the global market for medium-sized bulk carriers.
It is embarking on its fifth phase of expansion in its shipyard in Balamban, Cebu by investing in new capital equipment and enhancing research and development capabilities. —LDF, GMA Integrated News
