Unfavorable Merchandise Practice in the Philippines

Only in the Philippines can you buy shampoo in 5 ml volume packaged in a non-biodegradable plastic cases. Actually, all sort of products has small packages so the low income daily wage earner can afford a need. Unfortunately, manufacturers seem not to have recognized the social responsibility to ensure that the packaging materials will do no harm to the environment in the long run. I am hoping that the legislators will recognize the need to enforce measures against having voluminous non-biodegradable wastes due to the massive patronage of "tingi" marketing practices. It is an observation that, everyday, passenger jeepney drivers are buying the small-sized rugs made out of sliced non-biodegradable cloths. They use it to protect their palms from the friction developed as they maneuver steering wheels... Walk along the side of the roads and you see a lot of these rugs improperly disposed. They are actually contributing to the clogging of canals on rainy days. I wish regulations of the use of these unwanted driving paraphernalia be done. Do you ever wonder where the volume of unsold "wagwag" items or maybe the used "wagwag" items go in the long run. Many Filipinos buy these low-quality products because of the affordability. Investment dressing is not a part of the vocabulary of many Filipinos. I worry that the Philippine mountains and ecosystem will be destroyed by the volume of waste in the near future. Filipino legislators should think. I have the suspicion that a country is intentionally producing low quality products for export to the third world countries. The export is in the guise of disposing used clothing but it seems it is just their marketing strategy in support of their economy. I wish the Filipinos become wiser.
