[Asia News Agency=조날드 타파난 특파원] Archell Landero spent three days non-stop sweeping ashes on the streets of Biñan, Laguna, one of the cities affected by the Taal volcanic ash on Sunday.
Landero was one of those assigned to clean the streets of Biñan from the ashfall.
Landero collected the ashes and left them in the sack for the sake of local understanding and brought them to the ecopark for bricks or hollow bricks.
Previously the project was aware of local manufacture of bricks from recycled materials, according to Biñan Mayor Arman Dimaguila Jr.

But due to the amount of ash that the city has, the local government is thinking of making bricks from the Taal volcanic ash, which will be donating to damaged homes in Batangas, according to Dimaguila.
Each child is made up of 40 percent ashfall, 30 percent recycled waste, 20 percent sand, and 10 percent cement. Biñan makes up to 7,000 bricks per day at its material recovery facility. In addition to bricks, ash can also be made into hollow blocks and plant boxes.
