The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said on Tuesday that it is open to the possibility of implementing a policy that would unify the ban on single-use plastics in the National Capital Region . “Sa Metro Manila po wala pa po, pero may mga ilang cities na po na mayroong mga ordinansa na nagbabawal po mag- single use plastic ,” said MMDA chairperson Romando Artes Jr. at the Zero Waste Summit held in Pasig City. Among them are Quezon City and Marikina City.

Meanwhile, Senator Loren Legarda in July 2022 filed a bill regulating the manufacturing, importation and use of single-use products by providing penalties, levies and incentives for industries and consumers.
