The other two were the FDC Misamis Power Corporation in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, and Pilmico in Iligan City.

“These companies have never received a notice of violation from the bureau,” Digamo said.

Along with the Tuesday awards for environmentally compliant firms, the Mindanao Conference for Pollution Control Officers was held in this city and concluded on the same day.

The conference also showcased key projects advancing environmental protection.

One of the most notable projects is the “Plastic Waste to Usable Materials” initiative by the local government unit of Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, which has established a facility to convert waste plastics into usable products. (Ercel Maandig/PNA)
