Banning of plastic in Las Pinas done abruptly?
Here is a comment that we got from a Las Pinas resident and plastic dealer in Las Pinas:
I’m not againts in banning plastic in Las Pinas, even if I’m one of the distributors of plastic & Styro here in Las Pinas, kaya lang po biglaan ang announcement nila. Halos 80% ng residents even the merchants are not aware of this ordinance.
Hindi sila makapagbigay ng detailed kung ano ang bawal at hindi bawal. Ni wala silang malalaking banner to inform the people, buti pa nga laban ni Paquiao, every main road, overpass may malalaking tarpaulin na free ang manood. I’m comparing Las Pinas to Muntinlupa na malayo pa lang ang effectivity may massive information na ang mamamayan.
To the City government of Las Pinas, please give us full context of your guidelines kung ano talaga ang bawal detailed by detailed. I will give you an example. 3 oz.-12 oz plastic cups used by taho, icecream vendor, amviant vendor. Ice bag plastic, one of the source income ng pangkaraniwang household. Thin plastic used by carinderia for taking out foods?
What are they alternatives. The end users suffers a lot hindi dahil sa BAWAL na nga, kundi ano ang ipapalit nila kundi made of paper na halos 3x ang taas ng presyo na ibig sabihin tataas din ang costing ng tinda nila.
Please comment to our dear Mayor.
tama, not to mention ung canned goods na bitbit mo pag nag-grocery ka..ang hirap kaya lalo na pag nag-jeep ka lang, sobrang hassle to!!!
i think last quarter of 2011, they already rolled this news out sa paper.. yun nga lang, hindi talaga ganon ka intense ang dissemination ng info about this kaya residents and even some establishments are caught unaware.. pero im glad lpc is making a difference.. and going by their slogan, clean and green
kung ang pagdadala lng ng grocery ang problema aysus.. edi mag dala ng bag… problemahin mo kung pano ka makakatulong para mabawasan ang kalat sa metro manila na puro plastik, styro etc… kya lagi bumabara ang mga estero dahil jan sa mga plastic n yan…
matagal na ito na-dissiminate, last year pa, anung klaseng massive information campaign is needed? eh ang alabang-muntinlupa di din naman todo-todo ang campaign na ginawa, but everyone complied as soon as it was fully implemented. i live in paranaque and im praying na gawin din ito sa city namin. its high time already. though i agree that they or we should have alternatives. then again, nagawa nga ng muntinlupa, why cant the other cities?
