No law violated in garbage shipment: DENR

MANILA - The Department of Environment and Natural Resources insisted Friday that no law was violated when it allowed garbage from Canada to be disposed in the Philippines.

The DENR said the Canada garbage was initially declared as scrap plastic when it arrived in the country's ports in July 2013 but was later discovered to be waste.

It said that after careful study, an inter-agency committee decided to just dispose the waste in the Tarlac landfill instead of pursuing legal action against canada.

The DENR said the Basel Convention, an international treaty that was designed to reduce the movements of hazardous waste between nations, does not prohibit bilateral discussion between countries to resolve a dispute.

looya na baya nato ani labayanan naman ta ug basura sa laing nasod

Naghimo na pud tingale si Lina sa BOC ug monetary pressure towards DENR,
adto na lang kaha na e-dump sa ilang nataran kay dili man kaha na hazardous.

Unya naa silay mga analysis nga gihimo kung unsay hazardous content ana nga basura,
naa pa man gani quarantine sa airports kini pa ba kahang basura.

6.2 H6.2 Infectious substances
Substances or wastes containing viable micro
organisms or their toxins which are known
or suspected to cause disease in animals or
humans.

I can sense that this could be mistaken as the gov't dumping their garbage in the Philippines. This is a doing of a Canadian-based private disposing company and its Philippine-based partner.
