News from Rappler July 20, 2015 - 02:04 PM Article Highlights: MANILA, Philippines – Lawmakers filed a resolution at the House of Representatives to investigate the dumping of illegally-shipped garbage from Canada in Philippine landfills. At least 26 container vans of the garbage have been dumped in a private landfill in Capas town, Tarlac, Aquino's own home province. Tarlac Governor Victor Yap has stopped the dumping of more container vans pending a probe by provincial officials into the garbage. "We urge the local government of Tarlac to continue asserting its authority and prohibit the continued dumping of these garbage," he said. Last May, another 48 container vans from Canada were discovered in Manila port, bringing the total number of container vans of Canadian garbage to 98. http://www.minibalita.com/reader/10466/1/Lawmakers-to-probe-Canada-garbage-dumping-in-Tarlac
