Dacua said there was a need to reclassify again the establishments based on their nature, and impose garbage collection fees based on their income and not on their land areas, as used by the CTO. “If I am going to be asked sa akoang simple nga method, ang akoa jud aning tan aw, dili gyod ta mag-based sa land area. We should base sa classification…and tan-awon pod ang iyang income because kung taas kag income that would only mean nga daghan jud kag gicater nga clients, daghan mo sud sa imong establishments,” he added.
The increase, the CTO said, would be needed because the rates in 2005 did not provide enough collection to cover the city’s garbage expenses which had now reached P400 million from only P47 million in 2005.The Cebu City Council invited Dacua during the continuation of the public hearing of the proposed increase in garbage collection fees on Friday, Dec. 2, 2022.
