Under the Expanded Manila Bay Clean-Up
Program, Landbank will finance the construction of trash traps
for two outfalls in Remedios and Padre Faura in Manila. It will
also finance the fuel consumption of the additional weekly trip
as well as the annual engine tune up of MYC and PCGA’s boat
which removes debris from the trash traps and the Manila North
Harbor.
The Manila City government will provide
manpower and trucks to collect and properly dispose of the
garbage.
The DENR, through its National Capital Region
and Manila Bay River Basin Coordinating Offices, shall provide
technical assistance to ensure the successful implementation of
the program.
Landbank president and CEO Gilda Pico said
the Bank has been conducting an annual clean-up of the Manila
Bay as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility programs
since it established its headquarters in Malate, Manila in 2002.
"With this expanded program, we aim at ensuring the
sustainability of our efforts to help clean and protect the
Manila Bay. This is among our environmental programs and in line
with our being an ISO 14001:2004-certified institution," Pico
said.
