    Canada takes garbage back from Philippines, ending long dispute

    VANCOUVER, Canada - Tons of Canadian garbage left in the Philippines for years
    arrived back home Saturday, putting an end to a festering diplomatic row that
    highlighted how Asian nations have grown tired of being the world's trash dump.
    A cargo vessel loaded with about 69 containers of rubbish docked in a port on the
    outskirts of Vancouver, according to an AFP reporter at the scene.

    One of the 69 containers of waste that were returned to Canada from the Philippines
    is transported by trailer at Global Container Terminals after being offloaded from the
    Canada, June 29.

    The trash will be incinerated at a waste-to-energy facility, local officials said.


    The conflict dates back to 2013 and 2014, when a Canadian company shipped
    containers mislabeled as recyclable plastics to the Philippines.

    The shipment actually contained a mixture of paper, plastics, electronics, and


    household waste, including kitchen trash and diapers, even though Philippine law
    prohibits imports of mixed plastics and household trash.

    Some of the waste was disposed of in the Philippines, but much of it stewed in local
    ports for years.

    The issue polluted bilateral relations for years, but tensions came to a head in April
    when Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte threatened to "declare war" against
    Canada unless it reclaimed the garbage.

    Canada missed a May 15 deadline to repatriate the rubbish, but then made
    arrangements soon thereafter to move it back to Canadian soil.

    Canada's Environment Minister Catherine McKenna told reporters on Thursday: "We


    committed with the Philippines and we're working closely with them."
    Global concern over plastic pollution has been spurred by shocking images of
    waste-clogged rivers in Southeast Asia and accounts of dead sea creatures found
    with kilos of refuse in their stomachs.

    The cause of the garbage was way back 2013. The Philippines accepted the garbages
    because Canada told them that they were recyclable materials, but no. Philippines
    got fooled by Canada. Resulting for Philippines to get used adult diapers, rotting
    materials and more.

    Isyu
    Pag balik ng Canada sa kanilang mga basura.

    Suliranin
    Hindi sumunod ang Canada sa deadline ng nasabing pagkuha ng basura pabalik sa
    kanilang bansa.

    Solusyon
    Dapat sumunod ang Canada sa pinagkasunduang deadline.

    Pagpapahalaga
    Huwag manloko ng kapuwa dahil babalik sa iyo ang karma.
