MANILA - The Philippines’ President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered his government to hire a private shipping company to send 69 containers of garbage back to Canada and leave them within its territorial waters if it refuses to accept the trash, his spokesman said on Wednesday.
Canada says the waste, exported to the Philippines between 2013 and 2014, was a commercial transaction done without the government’s consent. “Obviously, Canada is not taking this issue nor our country seriously. The Filipino people are gravely insulted about Canada treating this country as a dump site,” Panelo said.
The Philippines has made several diplomatic protests to Canada since a 2016 court ruling that the garbage be returned.
