Actress Anne Curtis has joined the growing list of personalities calling attention to the environmental issues exposed in Kara David’s latest ‘I-Witness’ documentary, Ibinasurang Paraiso, which revealed how part of an Aeta ancestral domain in Subic, Zambales was turned into a dumpsite.
Through a post on X, Anne commended Kara David and the ‘I-Witness’ team for bringing the issue to public attention while expressing sadness over the condition of the area and its impact on the indigenous Aeta community.
“On other news, kudos to mam @karadavid and the @IWitnessGMA team for exposing this. Nakakalungkot.”
The actress also emphasized the need for long-term solutions to the country’s waste management challenges, urging the government to explore modern waste-to-energy technologies while strengthening public education on proper waste disposal.
“Hopefully one day the government seeks a way to introduce waste to energy solutions in the country. But also educate the people on proper waste management.”
In ‘Ibinasurang Paraiso’, Kara David documented how truckloads of garbage transformed what was once a forested ravine in Sitio Tibag, Barangay Naugsol, Subic, Zambales into a massive dumpsite, affecting the environment and the livelihood of the indigenous Aeta community.
Following the documentary’s airing, Kara clarified on social media that the dumpsite was established as a project of the Subic local government in 2019.
“Para po malinaw, ito ay proyekto ng LGU ng Subic, Zambales noong 2019. Noong 2025, nag-utos ang DENR na ipasara ito. Pero hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin nililinis ng lokal na pamahalaan, nakatambak pa rin ang basura.”
