Slovenia launches landmark ₱3M green tech and hygiene project in Antique

SLOVENIA, August 4 - The landmark partnership was formalised through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of Slovenia in Manila Dragan Barbutovski and San Jose de Buenavista Mayor Paul Joseph Untaran, witnessed by Antique Governor Paolo Everardo Javier. The initiative directly benefits Antique National High School (ANS), the province's largest public school with approximately 7,600 students.

1. Slovenia’s first ODA project in the Philippines, aligning green technology with local development priorities.

2. The first deployment of Slovenian green tech system in the country, introducing disaster-resilient water management technology.

3. The region’s first direct WASH-CSE training for educators, empowering teachers to build lasting health and hygiene awareness.

Representing Slovenian Ambassador to the Philippines Dr Smiljana Knez, Deputy Head of Mission Dragan Barbutovski emphasized the urgency and diplomatic vision behind the initiative: "This project perfectly aligns with a shared priority close to both our nations' hearts: combating climate change through sustainable water and natural resource management. This technology is uniquely built for the Philippines as it will ensure that it withstands the harsh conditions that Antique province faces regularly due to its exposure to landslides, typhoons and earthquakes. By uniting innovative green engineering with grassroots educational empowerment, Slovenia is proud to stand alongside San Jose de Buenavista, our local partners, teachers, and students to build a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient future."
