Coastal Cleanup ReportMany people asked me how the cleanup went - it went well! If you were along Roxas Blvd. that day, September 18, you would have seen Manila Bay lined up with hundreds of people all decked out to clean! All over the country, people were taking the business of cleaning up coastal garbage into their hands and became part of the solution. Groups like WWF had 500 people in Dumaguete, several schools like St. Theresa's also participated. YPNet has earmarked November 5, Saturday for their next waterway Quezon City area. Join in and see your country be transformed right before your very eyes! Next year, mark your calendars, 3rd Saturday of September! Contact YPNET for quarterly cleanups by e-mailing ypnet@pacific.net.ph
