President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines railed against the hundreds of tons of Canadian trash brought to his country's ports in 2013 and 2014.
Just days after threatening all-out war, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has promised to fight Canada on the beaches—by dumping garbage on them.
In 2016, a Philippine court ordered the company, Chronic Inc., to return the garbage to Canada. But it has stayed in port storage areas, except for 26 containers that were dumped into landfill. "I will tell them to load it onto ships next week. If you don't accept your garbage, I will dump it on your beautiful beaches," he said, according to the Inquirer.
The Canadian Embassy in Manila did not address Duterte's threat but noted instead that Manila and Ottawa"are celebrating 70 years of diplomatic relations."
