MANILA, Philippines — Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea on Tuesday (June 4) said President Rodrigo Duterte recalled a memorandum banning government officials from traveling to Canada.
This, after the Canadian government finally shipped back to its domain all 69 tons of trash illegally dumped in the Philippines sometime between 2013 and 2014.
With the trash reshipment, the Philippines is expected to restore diplomatic ties with the North American country.
Last May, Malacañang issued a memorandum directing all heads of government agencies, government-owned and controlled corporations and government financial institutions to refrain from issuing travel authorities for official trips to Canada.
It was in response for the latters’ failure to take back the trash shipment on the May 15 deadlines set by the President.
