House bill seeks to raise funds thru sale of plastic bags

that bill is useless is a waste of time nothing different . why does not create a bill use a paper bag to save the enviroment im sure it is effective and efficient . puwersa ng bayaning atleta your bill is not worth ...your bill is trash ...

How about just a house bill to stop corruption in govt. and if person is caught then automatic life sentence in prison without any court proceeding for them...That's a bill i want to see.

This supposed Representative is now included in the List of Know Nothing But Money Money Matters Transaction, (those in favor of putting the burden on the less fortunate and the poor, say AYE.). STUPIDITY is communicable especially at both HOUSE and Senate. This representatives represents the HAVES, not the HAVE-NOT. THIMK man, If brains could be for sale, Yours will be at a Higher sale value, under SLIGHTLY USED.

Well its just a way for you to start bringing your own bags to prevent you from buying and buying again. Kung alam mo naman na free ang bag bat ka mageeffort mag-dala diba? Pero dahil alam mo na may bayad, siympre ayaw mo na madagdagan gastos mo dahil lang sa plastic kaya magdadala ka ng sarili mong lala----an!
Imposible kasi ma-implement ang paper bags kasi mas mahal iyon sa plastic at malamang hindi ito papansinin ng mga businesses.
This kind of policy is being done here in Taiwan. You have to buy a bag if you need one and it cost 2NT. (3php)

Gayahin niyo system ng waste collection at disposal sa ibang bansa lalo na sa Australia. May Disiplina mga tao kaya walang problema sa mga basura.

Mayroon naman biodegrable na palstic bag yon dapat ang gamitin. ang paggamit dyan ang dapat isabatas HugKang na Congresista

The intention is good but I hope accounting for the generated revenue would be transparent.

...at the ouset the bill may appear anti-poor, but if you look at it the other way around it is pro-poor... it will encourage everybody not to throw their reusable plastic bags and use the same and avoid paying the 5pesos charge...by this we will be reducing plastics littering everywhere...the same bill should also promote the use of paper bags...the fund that will be collected should be used for studies on how to make paper bags more durable if not as durable as the plastics...we will be reviving and revitalizing the abaca industry that once thrive years ago...

para sa taga DENR bakit hindi kayo magpunta sa ibang bansa para mag observe tungkol sa basura kc sa pinas kka lang makakita ng gabundok na basura sa kalsada. at napakabaho pa. hindi naba talaga magbabago ang pinas? amoy basura at mukang pera? pls naman ipatupad nyo na ang tamang batas sa pagtatapon ng basura para naman maparusahan ang mga taong nagtatapon ng basura kng saan saan lang. d2 sa europe napakalinis kc pinapatupad nila ang batas kapag nahuli ka na nagtatapon ng basura pagbabayarin ka ng 3000 euros at makukulong ka ng 3 taon. sana ganun din ang gagawin sa pinas para tumino ang mga baboy na tao na nagtatapon ng basura.

The most needed bill today is death penalty by beheading government officials and employees found guilty of corruption.

here in china, implemented na yan. they will not give you plastic bag unless you want to buy. but they only charge around 2.5php a piece. it's quite funny at first when we experience it. biruin mo, bumili ka ng marami, tapos di ka man lang bibi----an ng bag? hahaha. kaya kami ay nagdadala ng mga bag kapag naggrogrocery (yung green bag ng SM na binili namin sa pinas.. =p )

It's a stupid bill, if you ask me. Why not instead pass a bill that would require the stores to use biodegradable bags, similar to the ones I've seen being used in some Wilcon Builders' Depots, in place of those accursed plastic bags? Stop placing the burden of change on the end-users as their resources allow them to do only so much.

I understand the intention but not the logic behind this law. It is as though customers are demanding that their goods be put into plastic bags. But products come in plastic packaging and whether department stores, hardware stores, food outlets or pharmacies--they automatically stuff the goods into plastic bags without asking whether the buyer wants it or not.

charge the consumers......??? @#$@#$%$$ sinong bobo na naman nakaisip ng gimik na to?!! charge a fee form the consumers then put it on a fund? who's fund? another scheme to make it rich na naman..... bobo!!!

ipagbawal nalang ang pagamit ng plastic bag sa buong pilipinas.. para maiwasan ang kalat at pulosyon sa ating bansa..just like alabang and Binan ..bawal ang plastic ....

tama lng ang bill na gus2 isabatas kc minsan tau tpon lng tpon ng plastic na bsaura di na ini2sip ang pligid ntin at n----on kung mgtapon mn tau mnghi2nyng tau sa 5 piso na ita2pon ntin!!!

UTAK PLASTIK !

Biro ba ito o totoo?, bakit kailangan i charge sa namimili ang plastic bag na gagamitin.. masyado mahal ang bilihin dadagdagan pa ang babayaran. Kailangan talaga natin alagaan ang kapaligirin pero obligasyon na ng mga groceries o pamilihan ang mag provide ng paper bag na matibay para sa kanilang customer.

Ito pa ang nag dudunong dunungan na Kongresista......

You are inviting corruption...... at anti- poor ito bro.... Imagine 5pesos per bag.... trillion peso corruption ito...

KUNG AKO SA INYO DYAN.... MAG OXOBIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC KAYO mga HUNGHANG...

AT DISIPLINAHIN NATIN MGA SARILI NATIN SA PAGTATAPON...

aNG TAGAL NA NG BATAS SA SEGREGATION LAW.... HINDI man Maipatupad...

BAKIT? KASI WALA KICK BACK SA SEGREGATION>>>

Pasencya na kayo this is my 4th comment naggigil lang ako. Dito sa amin sa Meycauayan Bulacan nagpamigay ng polyeto na nagtuturo sa segregation ng basura. We segregate our garbage. Heto masakit isinupot ko ng bukod bukod ang basura ko. Nang dumating kolektor kinuha mga basura. Pagsakay sa trak sinisira mga supot. de nagkasama uli. Kasi daw tinitingnan nila kung may kalakal. Kundi ba naman. Bakit di ka mang gigigil. Pag kasi konti basura konti makukuha ng hauling contractor. de konti din commission He he he. Nakakaloka.
