More than 1,700 government employees, students, and volunteers joined forces in a recent coastal cleanup drive that collected 582 sacks of garbage weighing 3,201 kilograms in Barangay 76-A, one of Davao City’s biggest barangays. The participants took part in the activity as a meaningful way to celebrate the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (CSC) and in observance of the International Coastal Cleanup Day. The Civil Service Commission, in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the region, spearheaded the second year of the cleanup drive in Brgy. 76-A, having a long stretch of coastline in the city’s poblacion area.
