FACTS OF THE CASE:
A report from the local health clinic stated that incidence of skin disease among
children was increasing in Barangay Masikip and this can be linked to the presence of
manufacturing company. Effluent coming from the plant of Soft-Ade Company was sampled
and failed the standards set by the DENR. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that
although Soft-Ade Co. had an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) for its wastewater
treatment facility (WTF), it did not secure another ECC for the expansion of the said WTF.
However, Soft-Ade claims it cannot be held liable since it is not discharging into any body of
water. Hence, it cannot be the source of the health problem in the area. The DENR, on the
other hand, states that the sewage canal eventually leads the Amila River, some 500 meters

ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED/ADDRESSED:
1. Whether the discharging of effluents into the sewage canal is responsible for the
increasing incidence of skin disease among children in Barangay Masikip;
2. Whether Soft-Ade Company maybe held liable for such;
3. Whether the agencies involved efficiently performed their mandate;
