DAVAO CITY – A total of 199 kilos of trash were collected by mountaineers who volunteered in a five-day cleanup drive conducted in the Cotabato side of Mount Apo last month.

A total of 199 kilos of trash were collected by volunteers during the cleanup activity at the peak of Mt. Apo.

“Officially, 199 kilos of trash were collected. These were composed of plastics, food wrappers, and liquor bottles,” Uy, who is also the Deputy Protected Area Superintendent . She said the volunteers had to break the bottles into pieces and were transferred to plastic containers to make it easier to transport.“Minsan pala ang iba sa kanila only say that they are nature lovers but they are irresponsible mountaineers. They can afford to just throw away the garbage there,” she lamented. “Ang masakit pa dun, tinatapon dun sa ilalim ng mga berries para hindi masyadong makita,” she added.

“We brushed it with cement so that another batch of moss can grow,” she said. A total of 132 volunteers who were divided into two batches joined the cleanup activity.
