Iligan City, Philippines – The Iligan City Jail-Female Dormitory actively participated in the International Coastal Clean-Up held at Purok 4, 5 & 6, Barangay Tomas Cabili, Iligan City, contributing to the global effort in protecting marine life and promoting environmental sustainability.
With the commitment to community involvement and environmental stewardship, jail personnel joined volunteers in the coastal area and successfully collected 15 sacks of assorted garbage. The activity highlights the facility’s dedication not only to the safekeeping and development of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) but also to extending service beyond its walls.
The International Coastal Clean-Up is a worldwide movement that gathers millions of volunteers to remove trash from beaches, waterways, and coasts. By taking part in this initiative, Iligan City Jail-Female Dormitory demonstrates its support for environmental protection and community partnership.
Jail Warden JINSP Krizza Jane C Bermudo expressed her gratitude to the personnel and stakeholders who took part in the activity, emphasizing that small acts of service, when done collectively, can make a big difference in preserving the environment for future generations.
“Through our participation in the International Coastal Clean-Up, we are not only helping protect our environment but also showing that the jail community is an active partner in nation-building. Small steps like collecting trash can create a big impact when done together. This reflects our commitment to service that goes beyond the four walls of the jail,” she added.
