The CAC is a means to promote compliance even as the environmental authorities continue to undertake enforcement work.

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 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).
