Phoenix Petroleum, through its foundation, joined thousands of volunteers worldwide for the 2025 International Coastal Cleanup on Sept. 20, 2025, reinforcing its drive to protect the country’s coastlines and marine life.
Phoenix employees and local residents cleaned 10 coastal sites near the company’s depots and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) plants, collecting 316 sacks of trash, including plastic waste and other debris. The nationwide activity covered key facilities in Batangas, Bacolod, Aklan, Davao, General Santos, Villanueva, Zamboanga, Iligan and two locations in Cebu.
“This annual cleanup reflects our shared responsibility to care for the oceans and the communities that depend on them,” said Phoenix senior vice president Raymond Zorrilla.
“Every sack of waste removed is a step toward healthier marine ecosystems and a cleaner future,” he said.
The International Coastal Cleanup, spearheaded globally by the Ocean Conservancy, is recognized as the world’s largest volunteer initiative for ocean health.
