All over the country are quaint coastal towns, unknown to many people in Metro Manila, despite their rich biodiversity and exceptional beauty. Now on it's tenth-year, the Metro Pacific Investments Foundation(MPIF), the corporate social responsibility arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC), is stepping up it's efforts to preserve and conserve these reefs. This March, Shore It Up! (SIU), MPIF's environmental awareness initiative, celebrates it's anniversary with simultaneously underwater and coastal clean-up drives with the organization's local government unit (LGU) partners in the municipalities of Alaminos, Mabini, Puerto Galera, Cordova, Del Carmen, Medina and the province of Surigao del Norte.
