Photos show ongoing quarrying activities in Rodriguez, Rizal, and a leachate pond adjacent to a garbage landfill, taken last September 11, 2024.

Quarrying activities in Rodriguez, Rizal is being scrutinized for its alleged impacts on an Islamic burial site, which prompted Sen. Robinhood Padilla to author Senate Bill 1273, advocating for equal access to public cemeteries for Filipino Muslims and indigenous peoples (IPs).

Quarrying activities in Rizal were also recently scrutinized after the province experienced heavy flooding during the onslaught of Tropical Storm Enteng in early September. However, the Environment Department pointed to various factors such as intense rainfall and urbanization as causes of the flooding in the region.
