We now have 23,454 signers in the petition. Thank you for all your support. Please send this link https://www.change.org/p/the-canadian-embassy-in-manila-re-export-the-50-forty-footer-container-vans-filled-with-mixed-waste-and-trash-from-the-philippines-to-canada-leonaaglukkaq-canembph-ambcanph-honjohnbaird and forward to your friends, family members and co-workers. We need more people to know about the Canadian garbage exported to the Philippine soil. Aside from the petition signers, we also have 106 pro-environment groups who have heeded our call “Canada: Pick up your garbage”. The 50 container vans of garbage from Canada have brought about problems of port congestion, health hazards, environmental issues and revenue losses to our country. As of September 17, 2014 our government has incurred a loss of PhP60,411,280.00 or $1,500,850.61 in Canadian currency due to storage and demurage of the 50 container vans. The Bureau of Customs in an attempt to solve the problem of congestion and to prevent further losses of revenues initially planned to dispose the 18 opened container vans filled with garbage in the dumpsites in our country. Fortunately, this was disallowed by pro-environmental groups like ANG NARS, Ecowaste, Greenpeace, Mother Earth Foundation, and Ban Toxics. Despite all these problems cropping up, Canadian Embassy in the Philippines has remained mum on the issue. Refusing to acknowledge its responsibility in the situation as a signatory to Basel Convention. Yesterday, we received good news that Senator Miriam Santiago filed a resolution for Senate inquiry on the Canadian garbage.
