Daily Field Focus | Empowering Communities Against Pollution (September 07, 2026)

OCENRO's Pollution Control Management Division recently reached out to 165 residents during a barangay forum at Brgy. Christina, Jaro, Iloilo City, to raise awareness about pressing environmental challenges and local regulations. The session equipped our fellow Ilonggos with vital knowledge on the causes and effects of pollution—covering solid waste management, littering, air pollution, and wastewater—while also making them aware of relevant environmental laws, potential violations, and the practical, community-driven actions everyone can take to protect our local environment.

Air Quality Update

According to the DENR-EMB Region VI, transboundary haze from Kalimantan fires is affecting air quality in the Metro Iloilo Airshed. The 5:00 AM monitoring on September 3, 2026, at the La Paz station recorded a PM2.5 level classified as "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups," prompting children, the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with respiratory or heart conditions to limit prolonged outdoor exposure. We encourage the wearing of masks, especially for sensitive groups, while these haze conditions persist.

𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗜𝗹𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗼 𝗔𝗶𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 (𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗤𝗜 𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝟱:𝟬𝟬 𝗔𝗠 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟯, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲) 𝗛𝗮𝘇𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵

In view of the haze affecting several areas in the Philippines, possibly associated with smoke and transboundary haze from ongoing fires in Kalimantan, Indonesia, the DENR-EMB Region VI continues to closely monitor Ambient Air Quality levels in Iloilo City and other areas within Metro Iloilo Airshed.

Based on the latest Ambient Air Quality monitoring result from the Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Station (CAAQMS) located at Garden of Love, Brgy Nabitasan LaPaz, Iloilo City, the recorded PM2.5 Rolling 24 Hour AQI Average as of 5:00 AM of September 3, 2026 is classified as “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups.” The result indicates that air quality may pose a health concern, particularly for sensitive individuals, including children, older adults, pregnant women, and persons with existing respiratory or heart conditions. Members of sensitive groups are advised to limit prolonged or heavy outdoor activities and to reduce exposure to outdoor air when possible. Result for other Ambient Air Monitoring Stations will be posted once available.

DENR-EMB Region VI will continue to monitor air quality levels across the Metro Iloilo Airshed, especially while haze conditions persist. Updated monitoring results will be regularly posted through official DENR-EMB Region VI channels for public information, awareness, and guidance.
