TAGOLOAN, Misamis Oriental — Rep. Juliette Uy on Monday demanded that the remaining 5,100 metric tons of mostly plastic trash from South Korea be returned to that country before the end of this month.
While expressing elation over the return on Sunday of 1,400 MT of the garbage in 51 containers to South Korea, Uy said what was shipped back was but “just a small part of the biggest waste dumped in this country.”
“All, not just part or some of the total garbage shipments stored at Mindanao International Container Terminal (MICT), should be returned. All of it. There should be no gray area in this regard,” she said.
The plastic trash, imported by a company whose business is into recycling, arrived last year at the MICT in Tagoloan town, Misamis Oriental province.
