00:00Not only is the problem of our oceans a security issue, but it is also a garbage issue.

00:06But it is also possible that it will be the cause of the unification of the countries

00:10around the South China Sea, said Joseph Moro.

00:18It is funny that in 2021, the first Filipino to arrive at the Philippine Trench,

00:23which is the deepest part of the ocean in the Philippines and the third deepest in the world,

00:29the Philippine Trench, which is in the middle of the Philippines, looks like it is in outer space.

00:35Life support, good. At bottom. Repeat, at bottom.

00:45This is the end of the deep. This is our end.

00:50But it is happy to replace sadness because up to the heart of the sea,

00:54which is more than 10,000 kilometers deep, there is still garbage.

00:59There's a lot of stuff on the sea floor.

01:03Oh, that's detritus.

01:05That one?

01:06That's garbage down there. I'm pretty sure.

01:08I thought it was deep sea jellyfish. I thought we saw a new species.

01:11But it's a plastic bag.

01:13In this context, the problem of garbage in the country is getting worse.

01:16In Manila Bay, which is in the middle of the Philippines, garbage is a problem.

01:21Here, single-use plastic is the most common based on Dr. Onda's study.

01:26Next are foam fragments.

01:30We shifted consumption.

01:31There are more deliveries now. There are more take-outs.

01:35The garbage thrown in Manila Bay or even in other parts of the Philippines

01:39can reach the West Philippine Sea,

01:42compared to the faraway Pag-asa Island, which is a kilometer away from the Philippines.

01:48That's why the beauty of Pag-asa Island is getting worse.

01:54Plastic bottles are piled up in the sea.

01:57We don't have a very efficient management system.

02:00So there are a lot of entry points in the environment.

02:03If you compare the amount of plastics you see in the Western Palawan,

02:07there are more in Pag-asa.

02:09Even garbage from our neighbors can also reach Pag-asa Island.

02:14Garbage from coastal areas around the South China Sea

02:18is brought to the middle,

02:20because that's where the current international trash is.

02:23So the problem becomes transboundary.

02:26It is said that there is money in the garbage,

02:28but this time, there may be peace from the garbage.

02:33Because other countries need to join in solving the problem.

02:38It's a good opportunity to enjoy the other countries in the South China Sea.

02:41And in the process, you do confidence building.

02:43How are we going to do more cooperation for marine environmental protection?

02:48Both were done in the Regional Maritime Pollution Exercise in Bacolod City,

02:53where 500 Coast Guard personnel from the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia

02:58were involved in activities related to oil spill recovery,

03:02equipment recovery, and others.

03:04There were also observers from Vietnam, Korea, and America.

03:08For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,

03:10for 24 Hours.
