Night Trash 6: Philippines ‘official dump site’ of Southeast Asia

Night trash! Spread all over the road like peanut butter on a slice of bread but not edible at all. Strewn about like the stars in the sky but not pretty to look at.  That is the poetry of night trash.








Look at all that poetry. Trash spangled roadways representing the scavenging of hungry dogs which are left to roam about in the solitary night.

So cry me a river at the Philippines being the official dumpsite of Southeast Asia.

“Sad but true, there is already a bandwagon of nations that designate our country as the official dumpsite of Southeast Asia,” Lacson said in a privilege speech. 
“To say that our country is treated like trash appears to be true, as in literally, amid news reports of tons of waste being illegally shipped into our lands, no thanks to local and foreign smugglers, unscrupulous Customs brokers and corrupt Customs officials,” he said.
BOO-HOO!!!

  1. Have to face palm over the pathetic attempt at blame shifting by Filipinos and the trash issue. How many times have you seen trash thrown in the waterways, ditches, along the roads, in empty lots just to name a few? Yet here the Filipinos are trying to make it sound like the only reason there is trash all over the country is because of other countries shipping trash here.

    They say it was shipped illegally yet never provide proof to such. They never say who the trash was shipped to in the Philippines, just where it came from. Now last I heard Filipinos collect and sell trash that can be recycled to China on a large scale. So could be some Filipinos bought those containers to collect recyclables then after they arrived just abandoned them.

    Anyone who has been in the country and not gone native knows very well Filipinos have a habit of changing agreements after the deal to suit their own wants. Then if anyone points out how Filipinos themselves have trashed their country Filipinos call them haters and racist.
