Iloilo City takes a proactive approach to safeguard its air quality, which won it two awards in 2017 from non-governmental organization Clean Air Philippines, by focusing on sustainable transport, improving waste management practices, household air pollution, and raising public awareness of the impacts of air pollution and cleaner options.
While we are proud to have been recognized as clean air champions, Iloilo City is not resting on its laurels. We are committed to taking action on air quality to ensure that growth, progress and continued urbanization and development do not come at the expense of the environment and public health."
