MANILA, Philippines – The former operator of the burning Navotas sanitary landfill had been slapped with notices of violation even before the fire incident, according to Janice Pammit of the regional office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ (DENR) Environmental Management Bureau.

According to Pammit, Phil Ecology Systems Corporation (Phileco) did not comply with the required daily soil cover, lacked gas vent pipes supposed to release methane gas, and delayed submission of their safe closure and rehabilitation plan.

“That’s why we issued the notice of violation even prior to the fire incident,” Pammit told reporters in a briefing on Thursday, April 30. Pammit did not specify the number of notices they had issued before the fire incident.

“Their submission of the safe closure [plan] was late, and the daily soil cover they needed to do, we also issued a notice of violation for that,” she added.

According to Pammit, her office issued two notices of violation again since the fire started on April 10.

These are violations of the conditions set in the company’s environmental clearance certificate.

The landfill only had 53 gas vent pipes out of the 110 specified in their environmental performance report and management plan, said Pammit.

Maria Delia Cristina Valdez, chief of the DENR’s solid waste management division, said that methane may be explosive if kept unreleased at certain concentrations.

“When it’s not released, it’s possible that there will be a fire,” said Valdez in the same briefing.

The DENR is coordinating with the Office of the Solicitor General over the potential filing of a case against Phileco.

Phileco started operating the landfill in 2006; the firm’s franchise with the government over the landfill property ended in August 2025. A court-approved expropriation in 2023 turned over the property to San Miguel Aerocity Inc. for development related to the New Manila International Airport. The law prescribes a 15-year period for post-closure care.

Upon closure, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority ordered Manila to divert its trash to San Mateo, Rizal.

Unhealthy air quality had been recorded in parts of Metro Manila since the fire started on April 10. Health officials had warned nearby residents to stay indoors and wear masks.

The Philippine Space Agency said on Wednesday, April 29, that in recent days, “nitrogen dioxide concentration in Metro Manila has fallen below 6 April (pre-fire) levels foDENr two consecutive days.” The DENR also reported similar progress in air quality. – Rappler.com

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
