🌊🌍 International Coastal Cleanup Month 2025 🌍🌊
The International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Month is an annual global environmental campaign held every September, led internationally by the Ocean Conservancy and observed in the Philippines through Proclamation No. 470 (2003). In line with this, September is declared as International Coastal Cleanup Month in the Philippines, where the DENR, in partnership with LGUs, NGOs, schools, and communities, spearheads cleanup activities nationwide. This campaign also supports the country’s compliance with the Philippine Clean Water Act (RA 9275) and the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003). For 2025, the celebration carries the theme: “Clean Seas Against the Climate Crisis: Tayo ang Solusyon.”
In celebration of this important event, the PAMO TVPL successfully conducted a Lakeshore Cleanup Drive on September 16, 2025, at Brgy. San Sebastian, Balete, Batangas. The cleanup covered a 100-meter stretch of the lakeshore and gathered a total of 50 participants, equally composed of 25 males and 25 females, representing PAMO TVPL staff, MDRRM Balete, MAO Balete, MENRO Balete, PCG Balete, and the Tourism Office of Balete. The event was also graced by the presence of the Admin Officer and the Chief of each LGU office of Balete, as well as people’s organizations such as MARIPOSA MPC of Balete and Malabanan MPC.
A total of 20 garbage bags were collected during the cleanup, consisting of diapers, single-use plastics, PET bottles, glass bottles, old clothes, and other non-biodegradable wastes. Upon coordination with the MENRO, these wastes will be properly collected and disposed of. This collective effort truly demonstrated the spirit of volunteerism, partnership, and environmental stewardship, proving that when communities come together, we become the solution in protecting our seas, lakes, and waterways. 🌿✨
