Nakiisa sa panawagan ang isang kongresista na dapat ibalik ang imported na basura na ipinasok sa Pilipinas galing ng South Korea.
Ayon kay Misamis Oriental Rep. Juliette Uy, dapat ding managot ang lahat ng sumablay sa usapin na ito.
“We are in fact still facing the challenge of managing our own trash and here we have imported South Korean garbage that should not have been sent here in the first place. Congress needs to pursue an inquiry on this controversy and I join Iligan City Rep. Frederick Siao… who delivered his privilege speech on this issue November 13… for those responsible to be held accountable,” pahayag ni Congw. Uy.
Dumating ang bulto ng basura noong Hulyo 2018 sakay ng MV Affluent Ocean at ibinagsak sa Mindanao International Container Terminal.
Nakatengga ang dugyot na shipment sa Phividec Industrial Estate sa Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental.
