CEMSI Manila Bay Cleanup

CEMSI volunteers to the International Coastal Clean-Up 2025

, , , , , , ,

Manila Bay – In honor of this year’s International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day, Cleanway Environmental Management Solutions, Inc. proudly participated in the coastal cleanup effort alongside the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources and other private sector volunteers. It was celebrated in the Manila Bay area on September 20, 2025.

ICC Day, a program held every year on the third Saturday in September, is regarded as the biggest volunteer event for ocean health in the world. Volunteers are organized by the event to clear rubbish from lakes, rivers, beaches, and other waterways. Nine of the coastal locations used for the ICC 2025 events in the Philippines were in the National Capital Region.

The livelihoods of coastal communities are at risk, ecosystems are disrupted, and marine life is seriously threatened by marine trash, especially plastics. The ICC urges everyone to support sustainable behaviors, engage in group action, and fulfill our common duty as environmental stewards.

Additionally, September continues to be a crucial month for raising awareness of maritime issues and the value of our oceans and coastal ecosystems. September is designated as Maritime and Archipelagic Nation Awareness Month (MANAMo) annually by Presidential Proclamation No. 316, Series of 2017.

The decree promotes three national and international memorial events pertaining to the maritime environment, including “International Coastal Cleanup Day.” The MANAMo celebrations serve as a vital reminder of the vital role our waters play in maintaining biodiversity, sustaining livelihoods, and combating climate change. The other two events are “National Maritime Day” and “Fish Conservation Week.”

Together with other ocean stewards, Cleanway is committed to maintaining the integrity of our marine ecosystems and the beauty of our coastal regions.

CEMSI FEED Philippine Environment Month 2023
Do you know that there is a law requiring every citizen of this country to plant trees? PRESIDENTIAL DECREE No. 1153 requires the planting of one tree every month for five consecutive years. Section 2 of the said decree states that “In furtherance of said policy, every citizen of the Philippines at least ten (10) years of age, actually residing therein, unless physically disabled to do so, shall plant one tree every month for five (5) consecutive years.” Now you know it’s the responsibility of every Filipino! Plant one now! Or plant 12 for the year! It’s better to plant 60 in a day! 🌱
