  1. I’m from the Philippines. I could never be more hurt to see posts like these. Then again- truth hurts. Until now, our government is trying its best to correct these kinds of mistakes. I hope this problem would be remedied soon.

  2. Good post. I find it amusing but wasteful when in places like Thailand, you get a plastic bag in stores even when buying a small bottle of water.
    Reducing plastic usage, reusing plastic bags, and recycling plastic goods are important to reduce plastic pollution.
