BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya—The provincial government of Nueva Vizcaya has imposed the prohibition of plastic use within its premises in this town of Bayombong.
The prohibition was embodied through the Memorandum No. 02, s-2016 banning the use of plastic materials such as plastic bags or containers within the provincial capitol compound.
Provincial administrator Maybelle Dumlao-Sevillena said that in the provincial capitol alone, tons of plastic wastes are being collected daily due to rampant use of plastic materials.
“The rampant practice of vendors selling plastic products in offices has contributed much to the piling of plastic wastes on a daily basis,” Dumlao-Sevillena said.
