Government leaders, businesses, and industries have joined forces to protest the imminent closure of the Kalangitan sanitary landfill inTarlac. Their newfound camaraderie, driven by the looming specter of a massive garbage crisis, is nothing short of heartwarming. After all, who would have thought that mountains of trash could bring people together? 

Enter Mark Anthony Lopez, the pro-Duterte, anti-administration blogger, affectionately known as the “kuryente king.” His impassioned long letter to President Bongbong Marcos was a masterstroke of digital activism. 

Marcos, always a man of the people, responded with a heartfelt “Who you?” proving once again that our leaders are ever-attentive to the voices of concerned citizens. 

It’s reassuring to see that when it comes to trash, whether digital or literal, there’s always room for more in the conversation.
