In the edited caption, the netizen wrote, “Now that this post is getting the attention it deserves, I want to pull people back in to the essence of this post. THIS POST IS NOT BECAUSE THERE IS GARBAGE IN THE BEACHES OF PALAWAN!!! THE MAIN POINT IS BECAUSE THERE IS GARBAGE WHERE THERE SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN PERIOD!!!”

Her take about the matter and her main concern is for the people to “maintain the places we go to as clean as when we got there, if not even cleaner.”

“If these were due to huge waves or previous storm, it’s all still because we are undisciplined, dirty individuals. Wag limited kasi Palawan lang!!! This is not meant to ruin the booming tourism of Palawan but to raise awareness to THROW YOUR TRASH IN THE PROPER(!!!) GARBAGE BINS or else, it will come back to bite us in places we least expect it to.”
