It brings us so much joy to see our Eco-Warriors working hand-in-hand with the uniformed men from the local enforcement of our city to conduct a clean-up drive after Odette.
This is the kind of empowerment that we dream for all our informal waste pickers which gives them so much value both as a productive member of the society and an active advocate of the environment.
Go Eco-Warriors, we are so proud of you!
What a heartwarming gesture by one of our servant leaders, Melky, while he assists an old lady to bring potable drinking water to her home in Salvacion, a northern rural barangay in Puerto Princesa hit by Typhoon Odette.

Thank you very much for all your trust.

Nine Eco-Warriors availed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) free Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) that would eventually qualify them for a student driving license upon compliance with various agency requirements.
TDC is a 15-hour course which promotes:
- Safer Roads
- Better Driver Attitude
- More Technical Understanding of Road Signs
- Clearer Driver Intuition
The trainees shall be the main drivers and stewards of the vehicles which will be used to collect plastics all over town upon the full implementation of the ECO KOLEK Project of Project Zacch.
After getting their Student Licenses, another application shall be made to qualify for a Non-Professional Drivers License which will enable them to formally drive the garbage collection vehicles to be provided by the project in partnership with USAID's Clean Cities Blue Ocean.
