Thirty-three employees from NX Philippines joined in the endeavor - conducted in cooperation with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Environmental Management Bureau (EMB-DENR), the Department of Health (DOH), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and local government units (LGUs) - and worked together with local volunteers to remove debris and pick up trash, using this valuable opportunity to reaffirm the importance of managing and conserving local water resources through cleanup efforts.
