There is one fact that everybody knows from young children to old men and women; Nature cleans itself. Yes it does. In the case of the Philippines, mother natures tries very hard. We all know that every year during the rainy season the floods cleanses the river systems of the Philippines. This is a yearly purge that Mother nature does. But it does not stay clean for long. | There is one fact that everybody knows from young children to old men and women; Nature cleans itself. Yes it does.

The political leaders and top-notch government officials usually right before the rainy season comes along (last week of April) will go on a campaign to clean the rivers. Plenty of volunteers, clubs, associations will be involved. There will be lots of picture taking and publication. They will do some work knowing full well that Mother Nature will be right behind to clean-up the rest. The rainy season in the Philippines starts in May. | The political leaders and top-notch government officials usually right before the rainy season comes along (last week of April), will go on a campaign to clean the rivers.

The efforts of these leaders are good and all mean well, but they do not solve the problem. Because right after the clean-up efforts the people (including some of those who volunteered) go back to their old bad habits of throwing their garbage in the river and flushing their sewers into the gutters that empty into the Rivers. This continues on and on and on. Then the following year the government officials campaign again to clean the rivers and the cycle repeats itself. | The efforts of these leaders are good and all mean well, but they do not solve the problem.
