The Angeles City government will soon introduce an organic liquid fertilizer, which is produced using black soldier fly technology and fermentation. This technology was pioneered by the late City Engineer Donato Dizon, who was the focal person in the city government’s plan to reduce organic waste.

Mayor Carmelo ‘Pogi’ Lazatin Jr. is planning to launch the liquid form of organic fertilizer, which offers several benefits over traditional granular fertilizers and improves nutrient absorption for plants, increases soil fertility, and reduces environmental impact.

The fertilizer will be given for free to farmers and residents.

The Department of Agriculture Region III has already released the test results of the said liquid form of fertilizer and passed the acidity level for foliar fertilizer.

“Naging katuwang po natin sa proyektong ito ang namayapang si Engr. Dizon na kung saan ang hangarin po ng siyudad ay ang mabawasan po ang organic waste natin at mapakinabangan ang by-product nito na fertilizer ng ating mga magsasaka at residente para sa kanilang mga pananim,” Lazatin said.

Some local government units, national agencies, and business establishments coming from Pangasinan, Baguio City, Davao, Metro Manila, and Tarlac already visited the Central Composting Facility to benchmark the black soldier fly technology initiative of the city government.

Offices from the city government and some nearby business establishments in the City Hall turned over their biodegradable waste at the Central Composting Facility to show their support for the said project.

Meanwhile, Mayor Lazatin said that the Central Composting Facility is open for everyone who wants to turn over their biodegradable waste and help the city in this project.

“Dalhin lamang po dito sa Central Composting Facility ang inyong mga nabubulok na basura para magtuluy-tuloy po ang proyektong ito,” Lazatin stated.
