The Philippines is the world's top polluter when it comes to releasing plastic waste into the ocean. InternationalCoastalCleanupDay
Peter Blaza and Jay EreñoMANILA - Hundreds of volunteers joined a mass cleanup drive along the coast of the polluted Manila Bay in the Philippine capital to mark International Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday.
"This initiative will help make our coastal area in Manila Bay better so that our tourists and visitors will see the beauty of the bay," college student Kendrick Lopez, 18, told Reuters during the cleanup drive. The Philippines is rich in marine resources, with nearly 36,300 km of coastline in the archipelago of more than 7,600 islands.
"We need to do these for our environment and to discourage people from throwing trash on the seaside," Janet Panganiban, a 36-year-old volunteer, told Reuters.
