Securing the coasts in Brgy Biasong Talisay

September 22, 2019— A total of 87 participants from QIMA and 9 staff participated in a large cleanup drive during the International Coastal Cleanup Day in Brgy. Biasong, Talisay, Cebu.

Afterward, participants lined up in groups to collect trash from their designated areas. Composed of only 8 groups and 87 participants, the cleanup was able to collect 50 sacks of garbage or around 5,000 kilos of trash.

After the cleanup, the groups were awarded according to the largest trash collected, most numerous trash collected and weirdest trash collected.
