The Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Central Visayas issued an interim cease-and-desist order (CDO) to GBox Corrugated Packaging for discharging red-colored water directly to the sea in Barangay Dumlog, Talisay City, Cebu, which was caught on video and went viral on social media Thursday. EMB-7 upon investigation found out that GBox Corrugated Packaging, a company located at Sitio Litmon, Dumlog, Talisay City, manufactures corrugated pads, wooden pallets, and material handling equipment such as hand pallet truck and rental of electric kettle. Further investigation revealed that the red-colored wastewater was generated from its inking and labelling area.
