Diligent students made sure no trash is left behind

Last August 27, the Municipality of Puerto Galera issued Ordinance No. 81 requiring all municipal and barangay officials, employees, teachers as well as the students in the public and private schools and all non-government organizations (NGOs)to volunteer a half day cleaning in their respective barangays and coastal areas. The General Clean – Up started around 7:30 in the morning in Barangay Sto. Nino going to Muelle, all the way down to Plaza Iluminada. The students from Puerto Galera National High School also cleaned up the public market area and Hondura Bay.

The clean-up program is part of the local government’s efforts to keep Puerto Galera clean and maintain its title as one of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World.
