DENR allows citizen arrest vs litterbugs in Boracay
Excerpt
Residents will be authorized to arrest whoever they catch littering in this famed island resort, according to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Environment undersecretary for solid waste management and local government Benny Antiporda on Friday said this is part of the stricter enforcement of the antilittering ordinance in Malay, Aklan (Municipal Ordinance No. 311). The municipal ordinance bans littering in Malay and provides fines – which can include imprisonment depending on the level of offense – for violators.
