Shore It Up! 2011


Another Shore it up! campaign is taking place on September 3-4, 2011, this time in Hundred Islands Alaminos, Pangasinan.  The first National Park in the Philippines.

Shore it up! 2011 is another ocean clean-up project of Metro Pacific Investment Foundation.  Let me share the foundation's message to everyone "We Filipinos love the beach; this is our way of spending the message that, it's time everyone of us do our part.  We have seen the devastation of the recent typhoons, especially after tons of garbage are left when the flood subsided.  We hope everyone realizes what this means.  We should do something; it's time to clean up."

I had the chance to take part of the shore it up! 2010.  That was September 18 and 19, 2010, and it was a great experience.
 Tourism Student Volunteers from San Sebastian College-Recoletos taught local children of Puerto Gallera on how to take care of their environment.  

Divers enjoyed their garbage hunting. 

This time, Shore it up! 2011 will engage in mangrove planting and moving giant clams to protect its bio-diversity.
