The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will allow citizens' arrests to strictly enforce the guidelines against littering on the island. DENR Undersecretary for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Benny Antiporda, in a press conference Friday, said this is to prevent the same scenario during the first day of the dry run when trash was found on the beach. “We will not allow it to happen during the island’s reopening on Oct. 26,” he said.
