Environmentalist group Earth Island Institute Asia-Pacific leads a coastal clean-up at the Las Piñas-Paranaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area as part of a collective effort to protect and preserve the country’s oceans and coastlines. This initiative is attuned to the annual International Coastal Clean-up Day and echoes this year’s theme, #SeaThe Change. This yearly event serves as a strong call to action, urging the world to address the worsening plastic pollution crisis. Norman Cruz
