Manila Mayor Issues Health Warning Due to Piles of Uncollected Rubbish
Newly-elected Manila Mayor Francisco Domagoso warns of a health emergency in the densely-populated city as rubbish piles up on the streets. Residents urged to hold off on taking out trash until new bin collectors are found.
The mayor of Manila, Francisco Domagoso, warns of a health emergency due to uncollected rubbish in the Philippine capital. Nearly two million residents are advised to hold off on taking out their trash until a new bin collector is found. The city's two rubbish collection contractors quit, citing owed payments. Domagoso hopes the city council will declare a health emergency to address the crisis.
He urges residents to keep trash indoors as the uncollected rubbish poses health risks, especially to vulnerable groups. Domagoso, also known as Isko Moreno, won the election with a promise to improve Manila. He led the cleaning of downtown streets with water and soap from fire trucks. Cleaning up the city's streets is a priority for his term as mayor.
