Executive Secretary Ralph Recto stated that Metro Manila is not facing a garbage crisis but rather a problem with improper waste disposal. He emphasized that the recent floods were partly caused by trash-clogged waterways. Recto called for a 'discipline culture' and strict compliance with waste management regulations. The government is currently clearing drainage systems, dredging rivers, and considering measures like allocating national taxes for solid waste management and establishing a 'cleanest village' incentive program.
