Clark-Mabalacat-Angeles Road Clean-Up Drive Unites Volunteers
In celebration of Philippine Environment Month this June, the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) led the annual Clark-Mabalacat-Angeles Road Clean-Up Drive. This event, held in partnership with the Environmental Practitioners Association, Clark Water Corporation, and Prime Waste Solutions Pampanga Inc., gathered more than 200 volunteers from various companies within the Clark Freeport Zone.
The clean-up focused on a six-kilometer stretch from SM City Clark to the Clark Mabalacat Gate. This area, often affected by indiscriminate littering from nearby residents and motorists, was the target of this environmental initiative. The Clark-Mabalacat-Angeles Road clean-up drive aims to promote environmental stewardship and improve the road’s overall cleanliness and appearance.
Community and Corporate Collaboration Enhance Environmental Efforts
Prime Waste Solutions Pampanga Inc. took charge of hauling and properly disposing of the collected waste, which totaled an impressive 2,880 kilograms. Clark Water Corporation supported the event as the hydration partner, setting up three hydration stations to keep volunteers refreshed throughout the activity.
Volunteers came from various EPA member companies and locators within the Clark Freeport Zone. Notably, organizations like Clark Development Corporation, Acciona EEI-JV, and Global Gateway Development Corporation Philippine Branch each deployed over 20 volunteers, focusing on cleaning the areas near their workplaces.
