Meanwhile, Jing Castañeda probes the Plastic Regulation Ordinance of Quezon City.

The Local Government Unit approved the ordinance for the regulation of plastic consumption in the area after rain brought by tropical storm Ondoy and recently, the southwest monsoon or habagat, left Quezon City flooded.

Held accountable were gutters and drains clogged by garbage such as discarded plastic bags, which pushed the Quezon City local government to regulate their use.
