There is no way to be kind or clever about this, so it’s best to come straight to the point: The attitude of Filipinos toward their own natural environment is a disgrace. There are exceptions, of course, and those individuals and groups who are the exceptions deserve respect; but they are sadly outnumbered by a vast population whose regard for the environment is at best callously indifferent, and far too often, intentionally malicious.
