Biological Sciences Department faculty Dr. Arnold B. Fonollera recently began his stint as a DENR/EMB- accredited Trainer for Advanced Modules on Solid Waste Management last November 28, 2019 in Splash Mountain Resort, Los Baños, Laguna.

The event is the first of a series of Advance Training Modules conducted by the Pollution Control Association of the Philippines (PCAPI) Region IV-A Chapter, a SEC-registered, non-profit, non-stock and non-political association which serves as a partner-organization of DENR-EMB in the dissemination and implementation of various training programs, environmental initiatives and projects.

Dr. Fonollera, a licensed environmental planner and pollution control officer, was among the selected candidates authorized by the DENR-EMB to conduct Advanced Training Modules on Ecological Solid Waste Management, a requirement for Pollution Control Officers in compliance to DAO-2014-02 (Revised PCO Accreditation Guidelines) and EMB MC-2019-004 (Advanced Training Modules for Pollution Control Officers). Attendance to the Advance Training Module is a requirement for PCO Re-accreditation.
