More than 100,000 Filipino volunteers are expected to descend on beaches, coasts, waterways and underwater dive sites on Saturday to pick up marine trash and debris as the Philippines joins the rest of the world in celebrating the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day. The Manila Bay along Roxas Boulevard and the Las Piñas – Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area (LPPCHEA) (before the Cavitex toll gate), serve as the main sites for this year’s celebration. The LPPCHEA is a protected area that harbors migratory birds.
