You've been to Guatemala before, Fredo? I don't remember knowing that before. I shared a few pictures of my trip there on a mission trip a few years ago while on the B site.

You can call it a lack of discipline or maybe laziness would be more to the point.

That is awful, too see that trash makes my heart hurt. I hope they find a way to get rid of trash and stop putting it in the water. Everything is recycled here so there is no excuse to toss it into the wild.

Really, those are the trashes from Manila. I think the Philippines has a general problem on trashes as to where they should really be thrown. That is also the problem at the subdivision where we live. You can see that some people would place their trash by the side of the road, expecting that it will be picked up by the garbage truck, when it has been months already that has stopped because the landfill for Daraga has been closed already by DENR since it has no permit. Thus, it will be scavenged by dogs and scatter by the roadside.

For our trash, my brother-in-law together with our boy helper, would gather all our trashes in big plastic garbage plastic, and drives and throw them at the next town where there is a dumping site for them.

@Lucky15 True. The government should be stricter and put a lot of ccvtv's in the community so everyone will throwing trash just anywhere can be caught.

@Lucky15 you are correct on that. We need to educate all about this manner of not dumping trashes on any body of water.

The foundation that the island have seems to be doing their job in cleaning it up, but as long as some are throwing their garbage in Manila, it will be endless cleaning

people are careless and do not think of the consequences of their action. once mother nature takes its course, the same people who violate nature will not be able to regret any longer if the wrath comes to them.
