I'VE never heard of such blatant disregard of our justice system as that undertaken by Metro Clark Waste Management Corp. .It has insisted that the government cannot terminate, as it did two weeks ago, its 25-year garbage collection and disposal contract with government firms owning the 100-hectare landfill in Kalangitan in Capas, Tarlac.This is pure garbage, and so were its moves to keep its 25-year-old monopoly.
Even though Metro Clark's 25-waste collection contract expired last month, the company refused to stop its operations and sued not just the two government agencies responsible for the landfill site in Capas town but the heads of those corporations for graft, and asked the court to order the government for its contract to be renewed.The CDC and the BCDA claimed that the 25-year garbage collection contract was under Republic Act 6957, the Build-Operate-Transfer Law, passed in 1990.
