The Philippines has recalled its ambassador and consuls to Canada due to a growing dispute over containers filled with garbage that were shipped from Canada to Manila six years ago.
The containers, which were shipped by a private company, are labelled as recyclables but were discovered to be filled with garbage, and have been sitting, rotting, in Manila ports ever since.
