Davao City—Subsidiaries of Aboitiz Power Corp. joined hands for massive coastal clean-up organized by Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) at Isla Tabuc, Matina Aplaya here in observance of World Environment Day.
Around 300 volunteers from Therma South, Inc., Davao Light and Power Co., Inc., and Hedcor immersed in the clean-up drive covering a 150-meter stretch of coastline, collecting approximately 3,030 kilograms of waste—mostly plastic along with old clothes and discarded furniture.
“This area is at the mouth of the Talomo River, a marine litter hotspot and a designated Water Quality Management Area,” said Environmental Managemen Bureau Region XI chief Arnulfo Alvarez.
Therma South employees also maintained regular coastal clean-ups in Binugao, which serves as a nesting ground for olive ridley sea turtles. The team practices strict waste segregation and supports ongoing environmental efforts.
