The disaster at Manila’s Payatas dump was another grim episode in a city teeming with misery. But some people blame the catastrophe not on tragic happenstance but government negligence. “Payatas should not have happened at all,” says Fulgencio Factoran, a former Environment and Natural Resources secretary for the Philippines. “The dump was unsupervised.
