Improper waste disposal

Garbage disposal is one of the most serious problems in urban centers in the Philippines despite the existence of different laws and policies governing such. In Cavite, the local government prepared the Environmental Code under the Provincial Ordinance No. 43-S-2008. Among the salient features of the code are articles on waste management, air and noise pollution management and environmental impact assessment, among others. Despite the existence of environmental code and regulations, garbage disposal in Cavite remains a big concern.
