PHThe Supreme Court of the Philippines has halted a 2013 order issued by the Court of Appeals in Mountain Province, which had directed the removal of buried garbage near a river in Bontoc, the capital town.

The case highlights ongoing challenges in managing environmental issues and the legal processes involved in addressing them.
