The Caloocan City government, through the Environment and Management Department, recently spearheaded the cleanup drive in five barangays of the city.
About 360 residents volunteered for the program dubbed “3rd Quarter Clean-Up Drive” in Barangays 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22.
Members of the Department of the Interior and Local Government and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources also joined the program.
The Clean-up Drive was led by the city government on orders of City Mayor Oscar Malapitan, who was delighted by the people’s participation in making the city’s environment clean.
The mayor hoped more citizens will join the clean-up drive in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the city distributed “biocarts” (kariton) to be used by the barangays in maintaining cleanliness in their respective surroundings.
