Tons of garbages are everywhere most especially in our coastal areas. Most of it are non-biodegradable. Plastic materials last for a very long time and if you will not get and clean it, it is a soar in once eyes. Not only that, it will also make our ocean unhealthy and will directly impacts the health of the people living nearby the coastal areas.

September 17, 2022 is "International Coastal Clean-up Day", we from Mactan National High School Teaching Staff participated the said activity. It is time for us to help make the coastal areas clean, and healthy.

It was also participated with some other teachers from other schools, government officials headed by our very own Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard "Ahong" Chan with his wife our Lone District Congressman Cindi Chan, rescue team, city hall staff, clean and green team and many other volunteers.

We were gathered here in Mactan Shrine just a walking distance in our school at exactly 6:00 in the morning. The activity started with raising of the flag ceremony led by the Police Officers.

Followed by a short talk with the organizers of the activity and our Lapu-Lapu City Mayor made his speech also and his first lady. Afterwards, they rendered us a dance number with Pilipinas Mascot.

This is Pilipinas, he also help save the planet and joined the International Coastal Clean-up Drive.

After the short program, we then ready ourself.

Together with me are my friends @abby0207, @fabio2614 and @bisayakalog.

We then started cleaning the coastal near Mactan Shrine. It was indeed a tiresome activity, but the thought of helping the coastal clean and healthy made me feel encouraged and energized me to do it and clean.

Our smallest efforts done together truly made a difference and help made a trash-free ocean. And this activity help other people to do the same.

We ended the activity around 9:00 in the morning and we headed home.

That would be all for now. Inviting my friends @sweetspicy, @liamnov and @mrs.cuyag to share their entries here.

Sincerely,

[K Y R I E 1 2 3 4]
