(Photo courtesy of the Metro Clark Waste Management Corp.) MANILA – Tonnes of exported Canadian garbage have been sent to a landfill near Capas, Tarlac according to Philippine government officials on July 14. The trash has been at the centre

of an environmental controversy since the Bureau of Customs seized 55 containers of it in mid 2013. The issue has made Canada a target for Philippine politicians and

environmental activists. A petition demanding, “Canada, pick up your garbage!” and for Ottawa to immediately “re-export” the trash, has obtained 25,000 signatures, See GARBAGE p8
