Do you care for the environment?
Last Tuesday Rotary Club East Davao was honoured and privileged to listen to guest speaker Mr. Simeon P. Marfori II, the new elected President of the Davao City
“Bawas Basura na, Magkakapera Ka Pa!” Bring your recyclables there and redeem for cash at special buying stations or donate the proceeds to charity.
This is a project of the DCCCII, wherein industry recyclers set up the buying stations where the public can sell its recyclables such as: used car batteries, used ink jets and cartridges, tires, pet bottles, scrap metals, used papers or corrugated cartoons, electrical/electronic equipment and much more.
No need to tell, that you and we and the enviroment will benefit, in saving trees for example. Or, plastics recycling reduces air and water pollution. Or, car battery and used computer recycling keep hazardous waste away from the landfills.
This important event today is sponsored by many big companies, such as HOLCIM, PEPSI, Pearl Farm Beach Resort, Cyper City Teleservices, Landbank,HZero2 - just to mention some among many others.
I wish that this will not remain as the only and last event. Maybe there are also similar events in other towns here in the Philippines
Everybody should follow this examples. We owe it our next generations.

I think cleaning up the village would be something good to get started after I retire from my job. The folks don’t have a disposal program in this village on Samar island. Klaus has the government ever tested for mercury in the blood of filipino in a few phillipine areas? I wonder about that with all the seafood eaten. Take care Klaus!

Hi John, thanks for your comment.Having not a disposal program is bad indeed. I also have no information about such tests. I am also a seafood lover and I didn’t get any health problems after eaten a lot coming out of the Davao Bay.
. Take care too John…

Hi Klaus,
That’s really sad that the Phil authorities are unwilling to elect a few foreigners to help them out for the reason they’d be seen as the “know-betters”. But they are better in many ways especially in sanitation. Besides, how do they know if they have not tried it? Pride and fear of the unknown are always in the way of progress. Maybe a Sanitation Advisory Board with a few foreigners would be ideal.
I remember the last time I visited in 1981, while shopping in Manila, humans’ waste were floating on a busy street, parading towards me while crossing it. It was gross!!! I almost slippedl on one of the newly produced one.
Sorry to share this experience, but how else can I describe the incident.
Be well and thank you.

Hi MarcelinaWW, thanks again for leaving a comment here. I really appreciate your suggestions, but after experiencing a very personal problem here in my and my families’ life, I would never be ready ‘for such position’. Sad to say. Don’t say SORRY TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES. I am glad you shared your thoughts with all of us. I still love the Philippines and I will remain staying here…
