00:07Benji Durango in Detail Live.

00:10Benji?

00:13Hi Audrey.

00:14Are you ready?

00:16Because I haven't had a chance to rest yet.

00:18Because I just want to show you the situation here in San Juan River,

00:23part of Quezon City.

00:25And...

00:27Look at my back.

00:28I'll adjust a bit here so you can get a better picture.

00:32There. I want to show you

00:34what happened to our environment.

00:38You can see behind me

00:40the garbage that was collected after the flooding last week.

00:46It's here at Mariablo Bridge near I Rodriguez

00:49and Araneta Avenue in Quezon City

00:51which was one of the first areas that was flooded last week.

00:55You can see all kinds of garbage here.

00:57I saw a refrigerator,

00:59a motorcycle helmet,

01:00a bottle case,

01:01styrofoam,

01:02plastic,

01:03wood,

01:03and many more.

01:05The MMDA said that

01:07they have collected 400 tons of garbage

01:11from the clearing operations that they conducted

01:14after the flooding.

01:15Now, I will show you the views in San Juan City

01:19where garbage is also collected every day.

01:24In District 2, in Caloocan,

01:26one of the garbage that they collected was a bed mattress.

01:30They even had to use a payloader

01:32to carry the garbage.

01:34The garbage went to 71 pumping stations

01:39in NCR before the flood.

01:43The MMDA said that they will place a trash trap

01:48on the rivers so that the garbage can be trapped

01:51and not reach the pumping stations.

01:53The barangay officials will clean the garbage

01:58aside from the MMDA.

02:00The government is trying to discipline itself

02:05by throwing garbage

02:06so that we won't go home in disgrace

02:08especially when it rains heavily.

02:10How will we do that, Audrey?

02:12I will show you.

02:14Come here, Jason.

02:16We will put the simple garbage like this

02:18in the right containers.

02:21In that simple thing,

02:23it is already a big help for our environment.

02:26Audrey.

02:27Benji, I hope we can reach the time

02:29when we can see that the majority of Filipinos

02:32will be more concerned about throwing garbage.

02:36Thank you very much, Benji Durango.
