The Cleanup Drive was conducted to promote environmental responsibility and strengthen community participation in maintaining a clean, safe, and healthy surroundings. Through the collective efforts of volunteers and community members, waste materials were properly collected and segregated, raising awareness on proper waste management and sustainable practices. The activity not only enhanced the cleanliness of the area but also encouraged unity, discipline, and shared accountability in protecting the environment for future generations.
This initiative is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being, by reducing health risks caused by improper waste disposal; SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, by fostering cleaner and safer public spaces; and SDG 13: Climate Action and SDG 15: Life on Land, by promoting environmental protection and responsible stewardship of natural resources.
The Community Extension Services Office (CESO), together with NSTP professors and assigned student groups, conducted a 3-week Cleanup Drive through street sweeping in designated areas of Bacoor. The activity ran on February 7 and February 14, 2026, across Brgy. Niog, Talaba III Road, and Zapote Road, with the final run scheduled on March 7, 2026. Student participants were deployed by program and section per assigned location, and they carried out street sweeping and basic area clearing to support cleaner public pathways and promote community discipline in waste management. The second week of implementation showed improved coordination among groups, better task pacing, and stronger compliance with cleanliness and safety reminders, contributing to a more organized and visible community cleanliness effort.
