ダバオ市は今年中にも廃水処理施設が建設されることになった。ダバオ地方の科学技術省（Department of Science and Technology：以下、DOST 11）の発表によれば、vertical helophyte filter system（以下、VHFS）と呼ばれる廃水処理技術が備わった施設の建設のため、同省はダバオ市役所に対し支援を行うそうだ。
DOST 11は同施設の建設資金として、少なくとも900万ペソの援助金を割り当てている。廃水処理施設はダバオ市、市内の貧困地域、政府が支援する中小企業が所有する食肉処理場を含め、4つのエリアにて建設される予定である。
VHFS技術はヨーロッパ国内においてすでに実装されており、ドイツ人の水道技師を通じてDOST 11に当技術が紹介されたそうだ。
VHFS経由でろ過された廃水は極めてきれいな水となって海に流されることから、汚染の心配もなくなる。さらにVHFSのコストは9万ペソと高くなく、かつ25年間の利用が可能である。DOST 11の局長であるAnthony C. Sales氏も、民間セクターに対し当技術の採用を促している。
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
