Project Zacchaeus' Eco Kolek and Farm Konek Projects were presented during the official launching of Bataraza Learning and Innovation Hub.
Eco Kolek was presented by Brian Agustin who explained the importance of Solid Waste Management and shared how our Eco-Warriors are making a difference in Puerto Princesa by collecting plastics in households and various establishments around the city.
Dennis Garangao, Agriculture Engineer of PZC's Farm Konek shared the project's unique features through its online app. He reiterated the benefits of enrolling in the platform and being included as part of a clustering group.
Local LGU members, farmers, and department heads listened to the presentation and are hopeful for the upcoming partnership with Project Zacchaeus, especially on the impact that it will make both in agriculture and the environment.

Project Zacchaeus and Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines, Inc. forged a partnership to build the Eco Kolek Learning Site which aims to address the societal gaps among the marginalized community of informal waste collectors.
This partnership will continue to empower the Eco Warriors and its capacity-building programs which were initially created under PZC and USAID partnership.
This project is an infrastructure that will enter into various stakeholders in need of a learning site for community-based entrepreneurial opportunities related to waste management and material recovery.

We deeply appreciate our Eco Warriors for their effort to collect plastic waste and other items from households in Puerto Princesa City. They are truly becoming partners with the City Solid Waste Department, and this is a great development from where we started two years ago!
They are now making a difference by creating more partnerships with households all around town., as they also educate them on waste segregation at source.
Proud of you Eco Warriors!
