METRO Clark Waste Management launched a computer literacy program called ‘Para sa Kabataan ng Bamban tungo sa Makabagong Teknolohiya’ to equip students in Capas, Tarlac with skills that will help them secure jobs in the future.

MCWM acknowledged the importance of looking after the very community where it operates, understanding that its growth is synonymous with the company’s progress in the long run.

“MCWM truly values the partnership we have with the municipality of Capas. More than the services we provide through our waste management practices, we look after how we can provide development opportunities across all fronts and at all times,” Buddy Hontiveros, MCWM Vice President for Administration and HR, said.

“We are truly grateful for the support and commitment that Metro Clark Waste Management has provided our communities in more ways than one. The company has never shied away from any opportunity to lend a helping hand when it is needed by our kababayans,” Gener Tanhueco, Capas LGU’s Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office officer, said.

Earlier this year, MCWM announced its P300 million investment to expand its facilities in Capas, Tarlac to accommodate the waste management needs of the growing region, broaden operations capacities, and generate job opportunities for the local community.

It reassured its stakeholders that the company is able to accommodate and respond to the needs of its new customers and partners, while implementing efforts that best serve the welfare and interests of its communities and all stakeholders.

The municipality of Capas is one of 141 local government units that MCWM currently serves. The company is the first fully ISO-certified landfill in the Philippines and remains committed to providing quality waste management services in the region, as it strengthens its expansion and operations in the past year.
