President Uychiat of the Republic of the Philippines called to the people of 

Iligan for an all-out-war against garbage pollution. This is due to the 

massive flood in the streets of Iligan during typhoon Hannah which killed 
hundreds of residents. This catastrophe could have been avoided had the 
drainage systems been properly working and were unclogged with the city's 
garbage. Was Pres. Uychiat's declaration a valid exercise of his Executive 
Powers? 
 
Yes. President Uychiat has jurisdiction over the Republic of the 
Philippines and can execute or declare such order to mandate the 
community when the case or situation is under public safety. He can 
execute an all-out-war against garbage pollution. It is in fact a way to 
declare a state of calamity.
