Phl joins anew the global effort to protect oceans
Thousands of volunteers in over 150 countries, joined the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day, a global initiative dedicated to addressing ocean pollution through beach and waterway cleanups held every third Saturday of September. Now in its 37th year, the Philippines has been participating in the ICC since 1994. In 2003, Proclamation No. 470 officially designated the third Saturday in September as ICC Day, instilling a sense of vigilance among Filipinos in their support of the ongoing global fight against marine litter. The theme "Clean Seas for Healthy Fisheries" is carried out by this year’s ICC which aligns closely with the objectives of the United Nations (UN) Ocean Decade Challenge 3 which is to “Sustainably Feed the Global Population”. This challenge recognizes the need to ensure sustainable food production from the ocean to feed the growing global population while safeguarding the health and productivity of marine ecosystems. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources in partnership with numerous organizations, took the lead in coordinating cleanups in various water bodies across the country. An estimated 35,000 volunteers armed with sacks, rakes, and gloves joined forces for the cleanup effort across the country. Participants included individuals and groups from the DENR workforce, national and local government agencies, academia, the private sector, youth organizations, civic groups, and civil society. Concurrent coastal cleanups led by various DENR offices and bureaus were held nationwide including key areas such as the Las Piñas-Parañaque Wetland Park; the Tullahan River along Barangay San Bartolome in Novaliches, Quezon City; Baseco Beach in Manila; the Balanga Wetland and Nature Park in Bataan; Barangay Butong Taal in Batangas; the Mactan Channel in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu; the Abatan River and Panglao in Bohol; Banica River in Dumaguete; Bais City, Negros Oriental; and along the shore of Pagadian Bay in Zamboanga Del Sur. The DENR regional and field offices also partnered with SM Supermalls, through its corporate social responsibility arm, SM Cares, together with SM Prime Holdings, Inc., in organizing clean-up drives in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Fifteen SM Malls were designated as a base that enabled volunteers, including SM employees, to actively participate in the cleanup drive. Likewise, regional offices of the Department have collaborated with UNTV offices across the country under the latter’s advocacy campaign Ocean Care Initiative. Beyond waste retrieval, ICC volunteers documented the volume of waste collected which will be submitted to Ocean Conservancy and UN Ocean Decade to contribute to global efforts to combat plastic pollution. During the 2022 ICC, findings of the Global Ocean Trash Index conducted by Washington, D.C.-based environmentalist advocacy group Ocean Conservancy showed that the Philippines collected 249.382 metric tons of waste. The collected waste encompassed a spectrum of items, including cigarette butts, beverage bottles, food wrappers, bottle caps, grocery bags, food containers, cups and plates, straws, and stirrers. DENR Secretary Antonia Loyzaga said her department's unwavering commitment to enacting effective solid waste management practices, supports a circular economy wherein all plastics are reused, recycled, repurposed, and responsibly managed. The DENR, she added, in collaboration with organizations, implements a range of programs to address solid waste in cities and municipalities nationwide. This is in support of reinforcing the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Act of 2022 or Republic Act 11898 which mandates enterprises to establish EPR programs for plastic waste reduction, recovery, and diversion.

NegOr polls deferment still in limbo
The Commission on Elections on Sunday revealed that the decision on whether to postpone the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections in Negros Oriental or not will still take time to process. Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia said that ahead of the scheduled public consultations on the proposed postponement of elections in the province this week, they will also hold consultations with other stakeholders, possibly pushing the schedule of the decision even close to the elections on 30 October. “We will not immediately decide on this after the public consultations there. We also have to follow other processes at the national level, such as consultations with citizens’ arm and stakeholders,” Garcia said. “If you’ll ask me, it may happen in the last week of September to the first week of October,” he added. To recall, the poll body on Thursday released a schedule of 25 simultaneous public consultations on the proposed postponement of the polls in Negros Oriental. The scheduled public hearings have been divided in five clusters, each with public consultations in five cities and municipalities. However, a total of ten events will be held each day on 27 and 28 June and five on 29 June. In this case, the Comelec has scheduled a public consultation in Canlaon City, Vallehermoso, Tayasan, Ayungan, Bais City, Pamplona, Sibulan, Dumaguete City, Zamboanguita and Siaton on 27 June. Residents of Guihulngan City, La Libertad, Bindoy, Manjuyod, Tanjay City, Amian, Valencia, Bacong, Santa Catalina and Bayawan City are also expected to join in their respective public hearings on 28 June. On the last day, 29 June, the Comelec will hold consultations in Jimalalud, Mabinay, San Jose, Dauin and Basay. Comelec spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco told Daily Tribune in a message on Sunday that Garcia will be present in a public consultation at Lamberto Macias Sports Complex in Dumaguete City on Tuesday afternoon. Garcia will be joined by Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff General Andres Centino and Philippine National Police chief Police General Benjamin Acorda Jr. The Comelec chair also revealed that they have yet to receive the petition from governors from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao to declare postponement of the barangay and SK polls until the completed withdrawal of Moro Islamic Liberation Front combatants. “I have read in periodicals that Bangsamoro governors want to postpone the BSKE in their region. If we ever receive their petition, this will be subjected to appropriate processes,” Garcia said. He reminded other sitting public officials and stakeholders of the provisions of Section 5 of the Omnibus Election Code which provide the basis for a declaration of postponement in an area in the country. The said provision in the OEC states that a postponement is warranted if there exists “violence, terrorism, loss or destruction of election paraphernalia or records, force majeure, and other analogous causes of such a nature that the holding of a free, orderly and honest election should become impossible in any political subdivision” in a certain area. “We don’t want to create an ugly precedent that we will declare a postponement just because of the calls of the few, then others will call for that in the future, then everyone will just call for a postponement,” Garcia said. “Remember that the election is included in our law, and the Comelec is the implementer of the law. As much as possible, we will implement, at all costs, the provisions of the law,” he added. The post NegOr polls deferment still in limbo appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
