Four Barangays including Central, Zaragoza , Holy Cross and San Ignacio in Manay joined the clean-up operation of our coastal areas. While the clean-up operation was in a social-distance friendly activity, the volunteers observed the usual health and safety protocols wearing face masks and hand sanitizing. The clean-up operation was a collective effort engaging community participation in keeping our marine environment healthy and a response to the urgent call of proper waste management. Volunteers picked-up trash along the shore lines and were able to collect wastes which consisted of biodegradable, non-biodegradable and residual wastes. Trash were also collected from nearby surroundings.
