I am a resident of Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, Philippines. Every day, I witness the improper disposal and management of waste in our community. This issue is personal to me because the effects of waste can lead to diseases that threaten our health and well-being.

The World Health Organization states that poor waste management can cause respiratory ailments and other infectious diseases (WHO). In our city alone, we are at risk due to this negligence. The lack of proper waste management not only affects us but also impacts our environment negatively.

We need immediate action from local authorities to implement effective and sustainable waste management strategies. This includes promoting recycling programs, enforcing strict regulations on littering and illegal dumping, providing adequate garbage bins in public areas, and educating the public about the importance of proper waste disposal.

By signing this petition, you are urging local officials in Iligan City to take immediate action for better waste management practices. Your signature can make a difference in improving the health conditions within our community while protecting our environment for future generations. Please sign this petition today.
