WesMinCom joined coastal clean-up drive

Some 50 enlisted personnel from the Armed Forces' Western Mindanao Command (WesMinCOm) participated in the coastal clean-up drive led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) last Saturday at R.T. Lim Blvd., this city.

Air Force Capt. Rommel M. Miguel, acting WesMinCom public information officer, said the activity was in line with the observance of National Clean-Up Month under Presidential Proclamation No. 244 with this year's theme: "Buhayin At Ipaglaban, Malinis Na Katubigan Ng Bayan."

"A contingent from WesMinCom composed of headquarters service group, 55th EBde, NFWM (combined), 3rd TOW and Task Force Zamboanga and other operational control units base in this city with their paraphernalias have conducted the cleaning and collecting of garbage at the boulevard," he said.

Major General Nelson Allaga, WesMinCOm chief, thanked the organizers. He said that he is very grateful, "for once again we were able to participate in the 22nd International Coastal Clean-Up Day being the constant partner of DENR in the conservation of coastal and our marine ecosystem."
