Yet waste workers in the Philippines – many of them women – are extremely undervalued and generally absent in solid waste management plans. Women waste pickers like Santoyo are even twice as vulnerable, burdened with uneven domestic responsibilities and fewer access to economic opportunities that could lift them out of poverty."

As stressed by Mody Floranda, mandating operators to consolidate their individual franchises under a cooperative or corporation is 'wrong, deceitful, and coercive' as it deprives operators of their rights and privileges as individual franchise holders. He said 'only big corporations with single consolidated franchises have the financial capacity to purchase and fully comply with the current PUVMP schemes.'" (as cited in Dela Peña, 2023)
