A Beautiful View, An Ugly Reality

Beautiful places exist everywhere, and undescipline people also exist everywhere too. I read @innertalks discussion about the experienced being here in our country, Philippines. It reminded me about the garbage in one of the place nearby to our staycation spot. The place was a hidden paradise away from people's attention but after pandemic the place was shared through social media by a few visitors. Then, it creates a buzz. Swarm by people who excitedly shoot for vlog content, reels, photos to show off in their feeds on different social media. Everything has been filtered, no one shared a bit of the garbage left by some undescipline visitor's who litters everywhere. A small community allowed everyone to have access freely into their place but in return people left a large amount of trash and waste behind. The sad and ugly reality everywhere. It makes me sad because this too, is happening to our place. Photo attached, I shared it here before the above photo and now, I'm sharing the ugly reality behind that beautiful photograph. Both photo, I shared it back in March 2025 in my IG and my sentiments as well.

People have no manners, they should dispose of their garbage.

It is a shame the garbage has to ruin a beautiful place.

It was obvious that it was visitors that left behind their garbage, nobody who frequents the area would dare destroy it with trash. We all need to be more mindful of what we do with our garbage, and try to preserve the world and make it a cleaner place.

I hate those people who does respect nature. When me and my friends go on a hike or climb a mountain years ago, we brought down along with us garbage we collected while there.
