As UPBSI Prez Jay Jay's rallying cry - "BETANS LEAD THE WAY !!". Putting words into action, Brod Jay Jay Jayme, UPPF'16, President of Pacific Mactan Renewable Environmental Systems, Inc. (PMRESI), his company and the P150 million state-of-the-art investment will cater to all waste being produced at the Mactan Economic Zone (MEZ) and hospital waste in Cebu province. PMRESI is the local counterpart of Canada-based Eneco WTE Pacific Inc., the technology provider. PMRESI will construct, manage and operate the treatment facility whose construction will start this month and will be completed this September. The embedded facility in MEZ 1 will lower the cost of the locators on their waste disposal and treatment fees and more importantly, enhance their compliance with environmental laws.
