The City College of Cagayan de Oro (CCCDO) actively participated in the Coastal Clean-Up Activity on January 17, 2026, at the Mangrove Reserve Area in Barangay Bonbon in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (Republic Act No. 9003).
The activity was spearheaded by the City Local Environment and Natural Resources Office (CLENRO) and aimed to promote environmental responsibility, strengthen coastal protection efforts, and raise public awareness on proper solid waste management. The initiative supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
Faculty members, staff, and students of CCCDO actively participated in the clean-up by collecting marine debris and helping preserve the city’s vital mangrove ecosystem. The activity highlighted the important role of higher education institutions in promoting environmental stewardship and community involvement through collaborative environmental actions.
Through this collective effort, CCCDO reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable development, ecological protection, and community engagement—supporting national environmental policies that safeguard coastal and marine resources for future generations.
