I can see how Philippines, is surprisingly large in water waste here. But I would think, china and it’s magnitude of manufacturing capability, is doing significantly more damage to the water than what is being portrayed here, through chemical byproducts and such. And let’s not forget, all those plastic junk floating around in water or even in landfills, I would suspect most of them would come from china
I wondered that too. I suspect maybe there are some twisted statistics and weaponized empathy at play here to get The Philipines on board with whatever this group is selling.
They don’t really have to try hard it’s well known the Philippines conform quite easily and bend over to corruption and it’s populous are very very easily deceived.
I was totally unaware it was such a problem from the Philippines. I never woulda guessed 3x India.
For anyone that has seen the coastline of the Philippines, it’s surrounded by slums. Not just the slums contribute to the mess, I don’t believe Philippines have a good waste management. Everyone’s rubbish eventually ends up in the sea, and it’s disgusting. Even in some “resorts”, the beaches are disgusting. I would only trust waters away from Manila and other bigger cities.
yeah, not to mention that the pasig river is very much polluted
I've been to Vietnam and Thailand and can confirm, the waterways there are choked with plastic waste, and every other kind of waste. Every fish meal you eat is sus. At some markets, they run metal detectors over, prawns, for example. They're testing for lead content. No joke
Indonesia is right there with them. Non existent waste disposal and everyone drinking from plastic bottles...
The article is wrong
The Yangtze River (China) pollutes more than all of the other rivers combined..

China has a lot smaller landmass-to-coastline ratio than the phillipines
