Piddig, Ilocos
Norte—First in Ilocos.
The Green Antz Builders and the Ayala Renewable Energy
Corporation in cooperation with the provincial government of Ilocos Norte and
the municipal government of Piddig launched the first EcoHub recycling facility,
dubbed as Green Antz Ilocos Norte EcoHub, with the ground breaking ceremony
held at Sitio Bato, Brgy. 6 Tonoton in Piddig, Ilocos Norte on July 30, 2021.
The “eco-friendly project” aims to convert plastic wastes into
hollow blocks and bricks for construction purposes.
Piddig Mayor Eddie Guillen thanked the two big companies as this
project is part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) to Ilocos Norte
for choosing Piddig as the pilot area in this conversion project which will also
create job opportunities, especially in this time of pandemic.
Guillen added that the project will not only focus on the collection
of plastic wastes in Piddig but also nearby towns and cities, as well.
He explained that the plastic wastes will be shredded as
additional mixture in the making of hollow blocks or bricks.
Output products will be sold to Ayala Corporation for their infrastructure
projects.
“This project is very timely ta
ngamin approve met tay 10-year
solid waste management plan min ken
approved payen iti sanitary landfill tayo ken datayo pay iti maysa nga immuna a naka comply iti solid waste
management system,” Guillen disclosed.
The 2,000-square meter joint venture project of Green Antz and
Ayala Corporation will establish the project without the municipality’s
counterpart.
He further state that his constituents especially the hollow
block makers have nothing to worry about since there will be no competition.
“Ta ngamin sabali a klase
nga hollow blocks iti maaramid ditoy
maikompera kadagitay normal nga
hollow blocks ken maymaysa iti manggatang
kadagiti maaramid isu iti Ayala Corporation,” Guillen stressed.

I was pleasantly surprised by how simple it was to get an Expedited passport for a last-minute business trip. Thanks to the quick service, I could have my passport in time for my vacation. I expedited my papers to prevent confusion and concern. The passport office provides an essential service, and I am grateful for it, especially for those like me who have to fly at the last minute. If you're in a rush, I recommend using expedited services!
