Question

What is the current state of the Philippine Environment?

Answer 1

I think Philippines is not that good as European countries where the governments are restricted to pollution control matters in terms of successfully implemented the Kyoto Protocol, hybrid car engines, the better Euro V engines replaced the efficient Euro four (which is ten years ahead Hong Kong, the most polluted city in this world), solar and wind energy supply technology to produce electricity. The following statement described about the overall environmental concerned matters to generalize the Asian countries' crisis in environmental protection.

Philippines:

uncontrolled deforestation in watershed areas; soil erosion; air and water pollution in Manila; increasing pollution of coastal mangrove swamps which are important fish breeding grounds.

Philippines is currently struggling for the budget cuts in environmental protection programs as the country is experiencing the economic hardship and most of its businesses and investments are foreigners controlled. The following website shows more detailed articles described the Philippine Environment, including quality of living and socioeconomic matters.

Answer 2

well so far not good, we've seen the starting effects of its destructions starting with typhoon Frank. there's more to be done and there's still plans for opening and expanding pollution-producing power plants such as nuclear in bataan and Coal in Iloilo. The problem with the garbage is aslo one, the continuing mining of Araal (slate stones used in construction) in Camarines Sur, the overshing in some parts of the archipelago. Philippines really is a climate hotspot.

Well, this is only in the our country how about in the other parts of the world?
