The UCLM NSA, together with WWF and in coordination with UCLM CARES and Barangay Alegria, Cordova, successfully conducted a coastal clean-up drive at the RORO Port in Cordova today, December 7, 2025.

Through the collective effort of volunteers, students, partners, and community stakeholders, a total of 799.33 kilos of trash were collected from the shoreline. This initiative highlights our shared commitment to environmental protection, marine conservation, and community involvement.

Together, we continue to make a cleaner and more sustainable coastline for future generations.
