AS the race for the national and local positions is on, an environmental watchdog has called on all political contenders to go for “zero garbage” in their campaign.
The EcoWaste Coalition called on all political wannabes to campaign clean sans the usual 4Gs of Philippine politics: Guns, Goons, Gold and Garbage.
Edwin Alejo, EcoWaste Coalition Coordinator said that they will call the attention of candidates who will campaign dirty.
“This early, we appeal to politicians across the political spectrum to restrain from engaging in dirty campaigning and to strive for an ecological ‘zero basura’ outreach to the electorate,” he added.
