What seems to be the root cause of air and water pollution in the phillipines?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vehicles, refineries: For air: smoking, oil refineries, vehicles are the main and common causes. For water: excessive dumping of wastes to the river beds, like body wastes, bottles, plastic bags, oil from refineries, cigarettes and very poor drainage. My recent trip, i observed these.
