‘Alang Plastikan’

TOTAL ban of all forms of plastic at the capitol premises is easier said than done lthough it is a noble and admirable move and the best thing to do as role model for the fight against climate change. Anyway, this move is also better than nothing at all.

However, Aling Iska, hindi kaya kapag ipinatupad ang ‘Alang Plastikan’ sa Tanggapang Panlalawigan ay hindi na magpasukan ang mahigit sa kalahati ng mga official at politician? Bakit naman? Dahil nga ipatutupad ang ‘Alang Plastikan’. Diyusmiyo, Aling Iska,sa totoo, plastik lang magagalit sa iyong kuwento.

Ba, ikaw ba brod ay nagpapatawa, nagbibintang o nagtatanong lang? Anyone of the three will do. Depende sa kung ano ang interpretasyon mo. Sino? Ikaw na tagabasa ni Aling Iska, una sa balita.

Balikan natin ang panukalang ‘Alang Plastikan’. Ito ay iminungkahi ng kaibigan nating si Board Member Ricardo Yabut sa isang Committee Hearing kamalawa ng hapon sa harap ng mga mista niya at ilang may katungkulan sa Kapitolyo.

Pero diusmiyo, Aling Iska, habang binabanggit ni Board Member Yabut na tatakbong 4th district Congressman ay nagmemeryenda sila ng palabok na nakalagay sa styrofoam, may plastic na tinidor at kutsara at nakaplastic na tinapay na may palaman. Ang sarap ng meryenda. Nakikikain ka Aling Iska? Oh, siyempre naman, sino naman ang tatanggi sa masarap na, nakaplastik pang meryenda.

Pero habang sarap na sarap sa pagkain ang mga bokal natin, naimungkahi na ipatupad ang total ban ng plastik o ‘Alang Plastikan’ sa buong tanggapang panlalawigan. Hindi ba kaplastikan iyan, Aling Iska? I am sorry pero tama ka. Kaplastikan nga.

Bakit naman Aling Iska? Kasi, a sincere man is walking his talk, he practices what he teaches. Am I right Mapiles? If you want to drive something as an advocacy and for others to religiously follow, start it within yourself. Do not patronize any form of plastic of any use.

To the officials or any personality, behind this move, can you please examine your self, your environment, your equipment so you could determine if you are one of the violators of this ‘no to plastic’ move or not.

Aling Iska, I would like to stressed that we are not against to ‘Alang Plastikan’ move, but what I am trying to point out is that there should be detailed measures on how to impose the Alang Plastikan at the Capitol.

Banning of plastic is ideal but what is more appropriate and doable for me is regulating. We should face the fact, that plastic has conquered not only the capitol, not only Pampanga, not only the Philippines but the entire planet earth.

Hence, the use of plastic has put in danger our total environment. But the Capitol as a starter should regulate its use and not totally ban the plastic or else they would end up in failure and in vain or total hopelessness.

The banning of plastic needs holistic approach. If you to get rid of plastic, ban all plastic manufacturers from making plastic materials in the entire Philippines through asking the two houses of Congress to ban plastic making in the country and provide stricter penalty to those who violate.

Tama po ang mungkahi ni Board Member turned candidate for Congresman Ricardo Yabut. Kapagka Congressman ka na imungkahi ninyo sa Kongreso na ipagbawal sa buong Pilipinas ang paggamit ng plastik.

Basta ito lang ang tatandaan at dapat itong simulan, sa Kuwatro Distrito sabihin mo Cong Ric, sana naman ‘Alang Plastikan.’

Meron ka bang pinariringgan Aling Iska, ala naman. Pero kung gusto ninyo sasabihin ko sa susunod. Abangan!!!
