Quezon City – Cleanway conducts a special seminar on waste management protocols and processes with East Avenue Medical Center in partnership with the Department of Health (DOH). The program aims to update personnel with the stringent handling of biomedical wastes for the benefit of personnel, patients and visitors of major hospitals.
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.

Silang, Cavite- CEMSI collaborated with the Municipal Environmental and Natural Resources Office of Silang to raise awareness on solid waste management. CEMSI’s P50,000 cash donation aims to reintroduce and incentivize MENRO’s program on efficient barangay waste segregation. Two barangays were recognized for their environmental efforts. Barangay Biga I and Paligawan received P25,000 incentive from CEMSI to continue their efforts in plastic and tin can segregation. Solid waste management should start in our homes, and with the help of the Barangay Leaders, it can create greater progress to protect our environment.
