From Philstar Spybits

Babe Romualdez mentioned in his column Spybits that pollution in MM is worse than ever.  While he does not have data (nor does EMB) to prove or disprove this statement, many are worried about the pea soup cloud that hangs over MM. While MM has not joined the list of top 10 most polluted city in the world, it may according to WHO, soon.

What can be done to abate this pollution?





1.  Stricter enforcement of Clean air act:  by LTO (nabibili ang emission test result di po ba)

2.  Stricter roadside testing (do not use this for illegal or fundraising)

3. Going by renewables:

     1.  solar tricycles (tricycles are a necessity but are notorious for pollution especially the 2 stroke engines)

    2.  renewable clean source of energy;  wind and solar.  Our base loads are mostly coal and DOE worries more about the cost of power gen. Why not go CNG may Malampaya naman at rich source of CNG sa Palawan area.

Are we beholden to the fossil fuel company and other GenCos, DUs?






Then, (about a year ago)

                            Now (is it better or worse?)

                            MM shrouded by clouds of pollution
