WHO IS IN CHARGE OF WASTE TO ENERGY PROJECTS?

WHO IS IN CHARGE OF WASTE TO ENERGY PROJECTS? Who is in charge of waste-to-energy projects? Should it be the DENR, or should it be the DOE? Not unless it is very clear as to who is in charge, this could become a game of finger pointing at the start that could become a game of blame throwing at the end. And in the end, nothing might even happen at all. Somehow, someway, the DILG should also be involved, but right now, it is not even clear how the DILG is involved, if it is involved at all. In Metro Manila, the MMDA should also be involved, but it is also not clear how it is involved, again, if it is involved at all. In the provinces, the DA should also be involved with the collection of agricultural waste. Combustible waste is the material needed for waste-to-energy projects. Obviously, the DOE should have nothing to do with the collection of the combustible waste, because that should be the responsibility of either the DENR, the DILG, the DA or the MMDA, depending on where the project site is. If only the entire process of waste management could be done right, the first step should be waste segregation, so that the biodegradable materials could be separated from the non-biodegradable materials. Obviously, the combustible materials could be gathered from the latter, after the recyclable and marketable materials are removed. Can anyone tell me who is in charge? IKE SENERES/5-17-24
