The waters of Barangay Cata-an in San Joaquin, Iloilo yielded kilos of debris. The garbage were collected by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region 6’s pioneering “Scubasureros” – divers tasked to do underwater cleanup. DENR launched the cleanup as part of the celebration of the Environment Month with the theme “Connecting People to Nature.”
