Bicol environment exec campaigns against plastic use<br /><br />Maria Socorro Abu, director for Bicol's Environment Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, tells The Manila Times that Bicol contributes 6 tons of plastic wastes in the country that go directly to the oceans. In an interview on June 7, 2025, Abu urged the public and local government units (LGUs) to end the pollution by minimizing the use of plastics. In commemoration of the Environment Month, which carries the theme 'Ending Global Plastic Pollution,' Abu said the campaign against plastics was a lifelong commitment that must begin today. <br /><br />Video by Rhaydz Barcia<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher<br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#themanilatimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#philippines<br />
