CAC comprises of activities, tools or technical assistance which provide clear and consistent information for the regulated establishments to help them understand environmental regulations and be able to comply with their obligations under environmental regulations.

The Laguna Lake Development Authority and the Baras Business Council jointly established the Compliance Assistance Center (CAC) to assist hog farms located in the Laguna de Bay Region to comply with environmental laws, rules, regulations, policies and standards and be able to initiate continuing improvements in environmental compliance in their operations, consistent with good production practices.

The Laguna de Bay Lake Region

The Laguna de Bay Region consists of the cities and municipalities in the provinces of Laguna and Rizal, four in the Province of Cavite (Tagaytay City, Silang, General Mariano Alvarez and Carmona), three in the Province of Batangas (Tanauan City, Malvar and Sto. Tomas), one in Quezon Province (Lucban), and nine in Metro Manila (Taguig, Pateros, Caloocan, Pasay, Muntinlupa, Manila, Pasig, Marikina and Quezon City).

How the CAC is Administered

This CAC, along with other Centers involving the LLDA, is managed through partnership with host institutions, e.g., NGOs, industry associations, academic institutions, etc.

The Hog Raising CAC is jointly established by the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) and the Baras Business Council, with the support of the Asian Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Network (AECEN).

LLDA continues to assist the CACs by providing information on newly adopted rules or proposed regulations, discussion of issues/concerns, links to LLDA website, technological development, etc.
