00:00Flooding is a common occurrence in many parts of the country due to the quake.
00:05When the flood hit some areas, the trash was left behind.
00:11Kara David will discuss the ongoing problem of trash in the new episode of the Digital Documentary Program of GMA Public Affairs,
00:18which is called Karadox. Let's watch it.
00:30The children we will call Robert and Andoy are only 10 and 8 years old, but they are already busy with their work.
00:49They are picking up the trash from the streets of Manila Bay.
01:01Wait, it's slippery here.
01:09Am I going to drown?
01:12Is there really no one with me here?
01:18The call for the boat I will use started.
01:21Styrofoam was placed on the boat.
01:25Don't throw it away.
01:26Their materials were also caught in the sea.
01:33What we are looking for is the type of trash that they call Sibak.
01:37Sibak is a type of plastic that is a bit harder compared to other types of plastic like this.
01:48Oh my God!
01:51Robert made a boat from a broken refrigerator.
01:57What are you doing in the sea?
02:00We are looking for Sibak.
02:01What is Sibak?
02:03Caps.
02:05Caps. What else?
02:07Iron.
02:08Iron?
02:09Iron.
02:10What else are you looking for?
02:13Wood.
02:14Wood. What will you do in Sibak?
02:16We will sell it.
02:17Huh?
02:18We will sell it.
02:19You will sell it? How much is that?
02:21How many bags is that?
02:22Four.
02:23Four bags?
02:24The four bags of Sibak, how much is it that they give you?
02:28One hundred.
02:29Oh, one hundred.
02:31Where do you spend that one hundred?
02:35We buy rice.
02:37Why do you buy rice?
02:39Don't you have...
02:41We don't have rice.
02:43Oh, you don't have rice?
02:46Robert and Andoy consider floating plastics to be rich.
02:51It's hard to believe that this is also the reason why pollution is increasing in the sea.
02:59Based on the World Bank's 2021 data,
03:02every year, 2.7 million tons of plastic waste comes from the Philippines.
03:1120% of it is sent to the sea.
03:16According to a study by the Ocean Conservancy,
03:19the Philippines is the third contributor to plastic pollution in the world.
03:25One of the reasons is the sachet economy,
03:28or the use of single-use containers that are difficult or impossible to recycle.
03:35The root cause of plastic pollution is actually plastic production.
03:39So if we don't make plastic,
03:41if we don't make millions of plastic,
03:45we won't have a problem with garbage and single-use plastics that harm the environment.
03:50This is the paradox of every year.
