Huwag nating hayaang matakpan ng basura ang ganda ng ating kalikasan—magtulungan tayo upang protektahan at panatilihin ang Katahikan! 🌊💚

Ang ating mga dalampasigan ay hindi lagayan ng tapon, kundi tahanan ng buhay. Aksyon na, kabataan! 💪✨

🌿 KALINISAN PARA SA KALIKASAN, PAGKAKAISA PARA SA KINABUKASAN! 🌊🌱

Bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng Linggo ng Kabataan at Buwan ng Wika, nagsagawa ang Katahikan ng isang Community Environmental Drive na naglalayong pangalagaan, linisin, at protektahan ang ating baybayin at mangrove ecosystem.

Sa pamamagitan ng Coastal Clean-Up at Waste Declogging Activity, sama-sama nating ipinakita na ang kabataan ay may mahalagang papel sa pangangalaga ng kalikasan. Ang bawat basurang ating nakokolekta at bawat daluyan ng tubig na ating nalilinis ay hakbang tungo sa isang mas malinis, luntian, at ligtas na komunidad. 💚

Kalikasan ay ating tahanan—alagaan, protektahan, at ipamana sa susunod na henerasyon! 🌱💙
