SECTION 16 ARTICLE II,
1987 PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION
The State shall protect and

advance the right of the people to
a balanced and healthful ecology
in accord with the rhythm
and harmony of nature.
MAJOR URBAN CENTERS ARE POLLUTED
AIR POLLUTION
Total Suspended Particulates (TSP)

or the amount of dust in the air in MM
and vicinities is 130 micrograms/
normal cubic meter (2009) - 44%
beyond the standard of 90 ug/Ncm
EDSA MRT (Pasay-Taft) is the most

polluted with 289 ug/Ncm
(>300% Polluted)
Region 2 (Tuguegarao Station Brgy 10) = 77 ug/Ncm
Region 1 (San Fernando City, Alaminos City) = 132 ug/Ncm

AIR POLLUTION
Major cause of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases
About 18 million Filipinos are exposed to air pollution with health

expenditures & lost income of P7.6 billion/year (WB, 2007)
AIR POLLUTION
84 % of pollution due to vehicular emissions. 1.8 M vehicles in MM
(28.4% of national crammed in 0.2% of land area).
Density: MM=2,768/sq.km
Clean Air Act requires compliance with emission standard prior to

vehicle registration.
WATER POLLUTION
80% of rivers are clean but waterways/esteros in major urban

centers are unfit for human activity
Cost of medical treatment and loss of income from water-borne

diseases is P6.7 Billion/year (WB, 2007)
POLLUTED RIVERS: 2009

SOURCES OF WATER POLLUTION

National Metro Manila
Industrial, 15%
Domestic, 45%
Industrial, 48%
Agricultural, 37% Domestic, 52%
GARBAGE PROBLEM
Philippines generates 30,000 tons/day (5,000 truckloads)
MM produces 8,000 tons/day (1,400 truckloads)
Only half are collected nationwide & 70% in

MM
Roughly 30% (about 420 truckloads) in MM is

uncollected and ends up mostly in rivers,
esteros and other water bodies.

GARBAGE PROBLEM
Garbage pollutes rivers, causes diseases, silt rivers

reducing its capacity to hold flood water, clogs
drainage causing flooding.
Decomposing garbage
emits methane (greenhouse
gas 21x more potent than
carbon dioxide).
GARBAGE PROBLEM
Compliance by LGUs
to Ecological Solid Waste

nationwide, only 30 are sanitary landfill or 2.3% compliance.
Low compliance due to lack of funds and opposition to location of

sanitary landfill.
