the traditional “Pahalik” and
procession in 2018. This figure is
11% higher than the 341 tons of
garbage collected during the 2017
Traslacion.

Year in and year out,
the feast of the Black Nazarene
is besmirched by tons of mixed
garbage abandoned on the streets
and sidewalks of the city of
Manila, especially at Rizal Park
and the roads and barangays where
the six-kilometer procession will
traverse through.

Among the typical
waste materials collected are
food wastes, polystyrene food
containers, plastic cups and
cutlery, plastic and paper bags,
plastic straws, bamboo skewers,
and cigarette filters, which often
end up going to the dumps, the
group said.

“As this year is election
year, we appeal to all politicos

not to use the Traslacion to
popularize their names and to add
more garbage to the occasion,”
stated Alejandre.

The
group
asked
politicians,
political
parties
and party list groups not to put
up tarpaulin banners along the
processional route, as well as
distribute campaign leaflets to the
crowd.

“Tarpaulitics,” or the
unrestrained use of tarpaulins
to publicize candidates’ names
and faces, is not the way to earn
the support of the electorate, the
group emphasized.

“We also encourage
well-meaning individuals and
groups to offer devotees with food
and water in reusable containers
and not in single-use plastic
or paper containers, which are
hardly retrieved and recycled,”
added Alejandre.

said in support of politicians
with “integrity.”
President
Duterte
also mentioned his ardent
hope for the positive result
of the plebiscite ratifying the
Bangsamoro
Organic
Law
(BOL) to effectively pursue the
progress and development in
Mindanao.

“I hope and I pray that
something good will come out of
the BOL. Though the plebiscite
is forthcoming, we have every
reason to believe that it would
pass the people’s will at sana

nito.” Duterte said.

According to Pres.
Duterte, the presidency was a gift
from God and, in turn, he will do
his job conscientiously with the
fight against drugs topping his
agenda. He, however, admitted
the gravity of the problem is
overwhelming, saying “I could
not really fulfill my promise to
do away with drugs within six
years. Impossible… It’s going
to be a continuing one.”

The president even
made a stern warning that in
the remaining three years of his
term, his administration will
be targeting ‘big time’ people
involved in illegal drugs.

Duterte’s war on drugs
has been continuously subjected
to various criticisms from the
religious and civil society groups
but the President maintains the
effects of drugs have wreaked
havoc to families, making some
of them dysfunctional, and to
the community, in general with
crimes such as robbery, rape,
and murder.

After
his
speech,
President Duterte willingly
obliged for photo ops, first with
the Tolentino clan, then with the
local government officials of
CALABARZON. He was later
serenaded with Tagalog songs
by singer Faith Cuneta. (Ruel

COMELEC, EcoWaste urge “Epalitikos” not
to take advantage of the Black Nazarene Feast
QUEZON
CITY
--
The
spokesperson of the Commission
on Elections (COMELEC) and
the zero waste campaigner of the
EcoWaste Coalition have jointly
urged “epalitikos” to honor the
sanctity of the Traslacion and
avoid using it as a platform for
premature campaigning for the
May 2019 polls.

“Epalitikos”(a merger
of the words “epal” or “attention-
seeker” and “pulítiko” or
“politician”) should not take
advantage of the millions upon
millions of Catholic faithful who
are expected at the feast of the
Black Nazarene on January 9 to
promote their candidacies, they
said.

“We appeal to the
sense of delicadeza of national
and local poll candidates not
to turn the Traslacion into a
campaigning event. Please do not
take advantage of the loopholes
in the premature campaigning
law to plug your candidacy
during the mammoth feast of
the Black Nazarene. Premature
campaigning is wrong and well-
meaning politicians should not
engage in it,” said Director
James Jimenez, Spokesperson,
COMELEC.

“We urge our politicians
to show respect to the time-
honored commemoration of
the Traslacion by not putting
up tarpaulins and distributing
leaflets and other promotional
materials, which will only turn
into ugly litter.
Epalitikos,
please
restrain
yourselves.
Traslacion is not the time to draw
attention to yourselves,” said
Daniel Alejandre, Zero Waste
Campaigner, EcoWaste Coalition.

The EcoWaste Coalition,
a waste and pollution watch
group, is worried that premature
campaigning will only worsen the
habitual littering that has tainted
the annual re-enactment of the
Traslacion for many years.

Some 385 tons of
mixed garbage were hauled from
Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park
to the Quiapo district during
the traditional “Pahalik” and
the six-kilometer procession in
2018 compared to the 341 tons
collected in 2017, according to
the Manila City Government.

If politicians cannot help
but make their presence felt by
the crowd, Alejandre made two
practical suggestions to political
wannabes:
1. Offer food and water to the
devotees in reusable containers
(not in single-use plastic and
polystyrene disposables), which
should be retrieved, washed and
reused.
2. Support the deployment of
volunteers along the processional
route to help with the anti-littering
drive and clean-up.

According to the Jimenez,
the official campaign period for
Senatorial candidates and for party
list groups will run from February
12 to May 11, 2019, while the
campaign period for members
of the House of Representatives
and elective regional, provincial,
city and municipal posts will be
from March 30 to May 11, 2019.
Campaigning is prohibited on
March 28 (Maundy Thursday) and
March 29 (Good Friday).

“We urge all candidates
not to campaign outside the
official campaign period, and
to be always mindful of the
environmental impact of their
campaigning activities,” Jimenez
said. (EcoWaste Coalition)
