SURIGAO CITY, Surigao del Norte (PIA) -- The Port Management Office (PMO) of Surigao collaborated with Globalport Surigao Terminal Inc. (GSTI) and celebrated the World Oceans Day 2024 with a coastal cleanup on June 8.
This national campaign, through Proclamation No. 237, series of 1988, bares this year’s theme, "Our Land, Our Future. We are #GenerationRestoration."
Also aligned with the United Nations’ theme, "Awaken New Depths," the observance involved the cleaning a 300-meter stretch of coastline near the mini-market of Barangay Ipil that collected, segregated, and disposed a total of 50 kilograms of recyclable and non-recyclable wastes.
Meanwhile, the terminal management offices of Siargao Island and Lipata conducted separate cleanup activities in celebration of this year’s World Oceans Day in their respective localities.
The initiative highlighted PMO Surigao's commitment to environmental protection which also coincided with the ongoing Philippine Environment Month. (PPA-PMO Surigao/PIA-Surigao del Norte)
