RATIONALE:
The Philippines is looming with garbage problems despite the passage of the Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act or the Republic Act (RA) 9003. Annual waste generation in the Philippines is expected to grow 40
percent for the coming decades. Improvements in recycling, collection, and disposal will become even more critical as
garbage production continues to increase with population growth and economic development which severely affects our
marine environment.
In observance to the 27th International Coastal Clean-Up Day, the City Environment and Natural Resources
Office (City ENRO) together with the members of its organized Bantay-Kalikasan or Community-Based Environment
Protectors Group (CBEPG) will hold a coastal clean-up day on June 28, 2017 along the coastline of Sitio Cabugan,
Barangay Busaon to raise awareness and encourages the participation of socio-civic organizations to help protect the
ocean from the challenges it faces every year because of wastes.

Officers and Members for their involvement;

EXPECTED OUTPUTS:

environment.
