Urge the Philippine Senate to pass the bill banning asbestos

September 13, 2010

Asbestos kills and you and your family are in danger!

Unseen asbestos fibers penetrate deep into the lungs when inhaled, causing incurable and deadly diseases. Fibers come from asbestos products in houses, buildings, workplaces and materials used as roofing felts, cement roofing and flat sheets and plywood substitutes, among other things.

There were people with no traceable exposure to asbestos who got mesothelioma, a form of cancer caused only by asbestos. Imagine the effect of asbestos on workers who manufacture and use asbestos, and carpenters, construction workers, garage workers handling asbestos products. How about the people – including you! – living in those houses and buildings?

Banning the use of asbestos is the best way to minimize hazards to health and safety of workers, their families and the general public. Urge the Senate to pass Senate Bill No. 89 to ban asbestos in the Philippines.

    Hi Ms Anna,

    I’m very thankful for somebody and someone who are so caring for others. In your campaign for asbestos, it is very helpful for us to know the danger and possible future effects on our health of this substance.
    All out support for your campaign…

      Hi Mr. Duldulao,
      Thank you very much for your positive response. Please kindly invite everyone you know to also extend their support to the campaign. We hope that with thousands of supporters (both local and overseas), we could effectively convince the Senate and House of Rep to take the bill banning the use of asbestos more seriously. the passage of this bill in this congress means protecting people from asbestos-related diseases and deaths.

    Asbestos should be banned through-out the world without further delay,it
    has been proved time and again that it is dangerous,so why the need to discuss it further?The reason is,of course,money,too much money can be made from the export,and subsequent use of this substance,which is known to be an effective fire resistant material,but it is also known to be a hazzardous material to work with,but is the wealth worth the health?
