Best known for his funny image back home, former “Eat Bulaga” mainstay Jimmy Santos chose to go on a more informative route as he shared his experience of recycling drinking cans and bottles in Calgary, Canada.
Santos took to his personal vlog, which was uploaded on his official YouTube channel Jimmy Saints last Tuesday, May 23, to share a glimpse of Canada’s recycling system, where he was spotted at a recycling center.
“Ako po ay nandito sa tinatawag nilang ‘South Pointe Bottle Depot.’ Ang ibig sabihin niyan, binabalik po at magbebenta ng mga lata rito, ‘yung mga pinaglalagyan ng mga tubig, softdrinks ay talaga namang dinedeposito dito at binebenta nila,” he said.
(I’m here at what they call a “South Pointe Bottle Depot.” This means that they return their cans, as well as water and softdrinks containers which are then being deposited then sold at a certain value.)
The former “Eat Bulaga” host also said that every can or bottle is worth a certain value, citing it as one of the reasons why Canadian residents are required to recycle them.
“Malaking bagay ‘yan kaya ito po ay ibinahagi at ipinakita ko sa inyo ang sistema ng mga nagbebenta ng bote dito,” he said. “Maganda, masaya at kunswelo dahil nakakatulong sa pagre-recycle ang mga ibinenta nating bote, karton, at ‘yung mga nabubulok po na ginagawang fertilizer,” he added, noting that biodegradable waste have a purpose as well.
(It’s a big thing for me to share the system of how they sell the bottles here. It’s a good, nice, and fulfilling thing to help in recycling bottles, cartons, and biodegradable waste since they can be converted into fertilizer.)
Santos, however, didn’t clarify in the video if he has already settled in Canada for good.
It’s also unknown if the actor-comedian has departed from “Eat Bulaga,” although he was last seen in the noontime show’s Christmas episode of its “Bawal Judgmental” segment in 2021. EDV
