I was concerned by your paper's editorial, 'Mindset change on waste management,' (6/18/23). While it's good that Philippine Daily Inquirer used its voice to call attention to the serious problem of increasing waste in the country, the article, unfortunately, chose to point fingers at people while largely making no mention of the primary responsibility of companies and their outsize role in producing the thousands of tons of plastic waste the entire country is dealing with right now. Yes, solid waste generation is increasing in the Philippines, but this is largely driven by the increase in the production of single-use plastics—not because of improper waste disposal.

In 2013, Pope Francis made his first trip outside of Rome to the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa to spotlight what he termed the "globalized indifference" toward migrants. Ten years later, as he travels to Marseille, France, this weekend — for what will be his 44th visit abroad — Lampedusa will still likely be on the forefront of his mind. Earlier this month, some 8,500 migrants from North Africa arrived on the shores of Lampedusa — more than the entire population of the island — over the course of just three days.
