Some unscrupulous individuals dumped discarded I.V. needles and bottles into a relatively secluded beachfront in Davao City. No one has come forward, or has been yet identified to have done the unconscionable deed. This is so because no one seems to have actually witnessed the dumping. I think the waste themselves can eventually lead to the culprits with some diligent sleuthing on the part of Davao City's City Health Office, or whatever responsible agency. The needles and bottles surely have names of manufacturers on them, plus the batch numbers, etc. What pertinent authorities can do is contact the manufacturers, either here in the Philippines or abroad. Surely, the company who bought them in Manila can be traced, then the ones who bought or brought them here in/to Davao City can subsequently be traced too, then the health care facility which used them can be traced too, and eventually those who actually dumped them can be traced too. RESPONSIBILITY. Responsibility must be required of the culprits who showed no compunction in putting our community at risk for such hazardous medical wastes.
