Dagdag ni Dizon, hindi rin maayos ang kundisyon ng pagpoproseso ng e-waste para sa manggagawa, dahil may nakahalong bottom ash, cadmium, at iba pang delikadong kemika sa basura.

Giit ni Thony Dizon, ang advocacy at campaign officer mula sa BAN Toxics, umabot na sa 234 na e-waste shipment at isang plastic waste shipment ang napadpad sa Subic Bay.

Nanawagan ang environmental group na Ban Toxics sa pamahalaan na magsagawa ng masusing imbestigasyon sa umano'y pagpasok ng mga shipment ng electronic waste o e-waste mula sa Estados Unidos sa Subic Bay Freeport Zone.

Sa panayam ng Brigada NewsFM Manila kay Ban Toxics Advocacy and Campaign Officer Thony Dizon, sinabi nito na kasunod ito ng matunton ng kanilang international partner na Basel Action Network ang ilang shipment gamit ang GPS trackers at lumabas na ang ilan sa mga ito ay dinala sa Subic Bay. #BrigadaNews

The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has called for a meeting with government agencies and other concerned groups to work together on issues related to the alleged e‑waste shipments in Subic, following public calls from an environmental protection group for immediate government action.

The meeting is intended to bring all involved parties together to better understand the situation, clarify the roles and responsibilities of each agency, ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and identify practical and lawful solutions moving forward.

Those invited to the meeting include the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), as well as environmental organizations such as Basel Action Network, Sustainable Electronics Recycling International (SERI), and the Ecowaste Coalition.

The coordination meeting comes as the BOC continues to pursue legal remedies in connection with the alleged e-waste shipments, which remain the subject of ongoing judicial proceedings and are currently under appeal before the appropriate court through the Office of the Solicitor General. In view of the pending case, the BOC is constrained from discussing its specific details but remains fully engaged in the legal process in accordance with the law.

Customs Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno said the coordination meeting is intended to promote clarity and cooperation while the legal process continues.

“Habang nasa ilalim pa ng judicial review ang kaso, mahalaga na magkausap ang lahat ng concerned agencies at stakeholders para mas malinaw nating maunawaan ang isyu, ang kani‑kaniyang roles, at ang mga batas at regulasyong dapat sundin. The coordination meeting will help make sure that all actions are coordinated and carried out in compliance with the law.,” Commissioner Nepomuceno said.

Meanwhile, Customs operations at the Port of Subic continue. Existing procedures remain in place, and coordination with other agencies is ongoing to support environmental and regulatory safeguards.

The Bureau of Customs remains focused on carrying out its mandate in accordance with the law while working closely with concerned agencies to address the issue through coordinated and appropriate measures.

Environmental groups urge Philippine authorities on Thursday, June 25, to strengthen border vigilance against e-waste shipments from the United States.

Local groups forming a new coalition (‘Environmental Task Force Against Illegal E-Waste Imports to the Philippines’) said this is illegal and violates the Basel Convention, a global treaty that regulates movement of hazardous wastes. | via Iya Gozum/Rappler

TINGNAN: Binuo ng mga progresibong makakalikasang grupo ngayong Huwebes, ika-25 ng Hunyo ang “End E-Waste Imports,” isang environmental task force na tumututol sa ilegal na importasyon ng electronic waste ng Estados Unidos sa Subic Bay Freeport Zone.

Kasabay ng mismong paglunsad, inilantad ng mga grupo ang kawalan ng aksyon ng Bureau of Customs at Deparment of Environment and Natural Resources kaugnay ng naiulat na 234 na lalagyan ng suspected e-waste at plastic waste na namataan sa lugar.

Ayon kay Cathleen de Guzman, National Coordinator ng Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment, mahalaga ang partisipasyon ng publiko sa usapang importasyon lalo na’t nalalagay sa panganib ang mga residente dala ng sunog sa mga tambakan.

Iginiit din niya na hindi hiwalay ang isyu ng e-waste ng Subic sa Pax Silica, na parehas na bumabanta sa soberanya ng Pilipinas.
