! It's like something out of a movie, you know? I mean, tons of garbage just landslide on top of each other and traps people under the mess... it's insane 
. And the thing is, it's not even like they were working in some remote area, they were right in the city. I feel so bad for the people who lost their lives or are still trapped.
It's just irresponsible to think that a landslide of trash is going to be okay with humans living nearby. The fact that workers at other landfills in the area are already worried... it's like, what's next? We need better systems in place, for real.
that they find everyone who's still missing alive. This is just heartbreaking, and I hope we can all learn from this tragedy to do better in the future 
the gov launched an investigation but it's too late, people are dyin & more r goin missin... 12 injured is a lil better i guess, but still, 1 life lost is 1 too many 
can't we just take care of our own trash for once?! 
it's not that hard, people!
. And the fact that heavy rain just made it worse is just awful 
. The whole situation is so tragic and devastating 
. I'm keeping all those missing folks in my thoughts and sending positive vibes to the rescue teams who are working tirelessly to find them 
. Let's hope they can get everyone out safely soon 
just saw that massive trash avalanche in Cebu city and it's like, totally devastating 
I mean, come on guys, a landslide of trash? it's just not acceptable. the fact that workers are putting their lives at risk every day because of this is just heartbreaking 
I'm sending all my thoughts to the families affected and the rescue teams who are doing everything they can 
it's just so crazy... like, shouldn't we already have better systems in place for waste management? I mean, you'd think that with all the progress we've made, we should be able to prevent these kinds of disasters from happening. It's not just about the people who get trapped under the trash, it's also about the workers at landfills who are putting their lives on the line every day. They deserve better safety measures and more support. 
it's crazy how something like this can happen in our own backyard, you know? i mean, poor people who were just trying to make a living by disposing of trash and all of a sudden... boom! tons of garbage comes crashing down on them. it's just devastating 
it's time for us to rethink our waste management system and make sure these kinds of disasters don't happen again. 
. i no we gotta recycle n all but poor waste management is real life n death situation 4 them workers who do dis job n daily basis 
. its just another sad day in philippines
