On the caption, he quoted the environmental group, highlighting a sad, sorry fact: “The Philippines is the 3rd biggest source of ocean plastic pollution. This beach near Manila is covered in cheap, disposable, single-use plastic. For over a week, Greenpeace volunteers cleaned it up to find out the companies responsible. Spot the difference?”

Greenpeace Philippines held a nine-day coastal cleanup as a way to audit and hold responsible companies that contributed to ocean pollution the most. — LA, GMA News
