Mr Green's view of Philippines Environmental Program.

I have mentioned on my previous topic that there is lack of information drive on how Filipino can contribute in easing out Global warming. But this doesn't mean our government is not doing anything at all. There is also a program that being implemented only not as aggressive and remarkable as it should be.

Some local government led a campaign to use re-usable and bio-degradable “bayong”. However, it doesn't serve it purpose. Commodities still wrap in plastic bag when they put it in their bayong. The bayong only serve as reinforcement to the plastic bag and not being used to limit the use of it. And right now only few Pinoy use the bayong, many still prefer the latter. They better redesign the bayong, it should have a partition so that goods will not mix, the main reason they still wrap the goods in plastic bag, or since they cannot stop using plastic bag, why not encourage them to reuse the plastic bag instead.

Philippines government also requires motor vehicle to undergo emission testing before the certificate of registration can be renewed. Majority of Pinoy believe that this is just a waste of money, since no one is failing the emission test. Emission Test Center is being run by private individuals, since there is a competion, Emission Test Center will not usually give a failed emission test, for fear of losing a customer. If they want to enforce this law, it should be the Philippines government that will do the testing, and it should be free to avoid corruption.
