With over 7,000 islands, the Philippines is considered to be the second largest archipelago in the world. And so, whatever we do and whatever choices we make as consumers will definitely have an impact on our oceans, because they literally connect us to each other. Sadly, a study published in the Science Advances Journal found that one-third of the wastes in the world’s oceans come from the Philippines. And among the top 10 rivers contributing to this plastic pollution, the number one plastic polluter is our own Pasig River.
