๐๐ก ๐ฃ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฆ: The Rotary Club of Bacoor, led by UCP Dennis Calinog, together with the Innovative Controls Group of Companies, joined forces with the City Government of Bacoor for the International Coastal Clean-Up Drive 2025 held on September 20, 2025, at Maliksi I, Bacoor, Cavite. The initiative underscored the importance of collaboration in promoting environmental protection and community involvement.
Participants described the event as both fulfilling and eye-opening. A significant portion of the waste collected consisted of improperly discarded diapers, plastic packaging, and bubble wraps from parcel deliveries. These items are not only unsightly but also harmful, as they flow into the sea and pollute the waters that provide food and livelihood. The seafood enjoyed on our tables is directly impacted by the waste carelessly left behind.
Although the collected garbage was not formally weighed, the sheer volume was undeniable and alarming. The experience served as a strong reminder and a call to action: reduce plastic consumption, practice responsible waste disposal, and embrace mindful consumption habits.
Every small act of responsibility can create a ripple effect protecting our oceans, safeguarding our food supply, strengthening our communities, and preserving our shared future.
