MMDA general manager Procopio Lipana led the volunteers and staff of various government agencies in cleaning and collecting garbage in the area.
The ICC, which is held every third Saturday in September, is the largest volunteer effort for coastal resources. Results will aid in better waste management policies/plans, product packaging designs and in stirring environmental consciousness among the people. Volunteers brought cleaning materials, gloves and sacks in removing trash in the foreshore areas of Manila. Most of the collected garbage at the bay are bamboo poles and driftwood which had been carried by currents from nearby fish pens, water hyacinths, plastics, household waste, and other sorts of garbage.
