Earlier, the operator of the sanitary landfill said it would comply with a cease and desist order issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

DENR Central Visayas said the order halts landfill operations except for rescue, retrieval, and cleanup activities, to ensure the safety of responders and prevent further incidents. —Jamil Santos/ VAL, GMA Integrated News
