CDO welcomes Korean volunteers for environmental protection

THE City Council Committee on Environment, chaired by Councilor Roger G. Abaday, recently hosted a visit from Save the Earth from A to Z (ASEZ), a volunteer group of university students from Korea affiliated with the World Mission Society Church of God.

Inspired by the love of God the Father and God the Mother, the group of nine Korean college students arrived in the city to conduct various volunteer activities and provide assistance to those in need.

The group also takes part in the SAVE (Social Service, Awareness Raising, Victim Relief, Environmental Protection) Movement across 175 countries to cherish life, promote community happiness, and enhance environmental conditions.

As part of their environmental protection efforts, ASEZ will organize the ASEZ Blue Carbon Movement on August 11, 2024, at 9:00 AM at Barangay Lapasan Coastal Road. This initiative will be supported by the City Local Environment and Natural Resources Office (CLENRO).

Additionally, ASEZ has requested support and partnership with the city through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

"The MOU is still in process, but this activity serves as an introduction of the ASEZ campaign to the community, with support from DENR, BFP, Barangay Lapasan, and CLENRO," explained its representative.

Councilor Abaday expressed his full support for the movement by pledging to participate in the clean-up drive.

"We invite all committee members to join this activity. Let us support this group because their mission and intent are for environmental protection," he emphasized.
