GINGOOG CITY, Misamis Oriental (PIA)–In response to the Provincial Government of Misamis Oriental’s call for the clearing of sea debris and garbage on the province’s coasts caused by the shear line and wind convergence that ravaged some parts of the province, the Misamis Oriental Police Provincial Office (MORPPO) held a simultaneous coastal clean-up drive and underwater “Scubasurero” activity, December 31.
“Our provincial director responded regarding sa mga basura sa pantalan ug sa mga shoreline, ania ta karon para one way or the other, in our own little way makatabang ta sa pagpalimpyo sa atong environment,” MORPPO DPDO Ariel Philip Pontillas shared.
(Our provincial director responded to the call regarding the garbage at the docks and on the shorelines. We are here today so that one way or another, in our own little way, we can help clean up our environment)
