Employees of SM City Marilao trooped to local waterways in Marilao, Bulacan on Saturday to participate in a massive cleanup drive.
Volunteers gathered as early as 6 a.m. at Barangay Ibayo and started cleaning as well as collecting garbage and hazardous waste from creeks and waterways.
Joey Amador, Brgy. Ibayo Captain, said the activity was part of the local government’s project to clean-up the rivers and waterways in Marilao.
“The cleanup drive in Marilao was part of our mandate. We will be doing this as often as needed and we will be coordinating and collaborating with private sectors, schools, organizations as well as other LGUs to help us with the cleanup and rehabilitation effort,” Amador said.
Truckloads of garbage were collected during the four-hour activity.
