Not just putting out fires, but personnel of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) of Municipio Inabanga, in coordination with Rescue 616 Bohol Chapter, joined the effort in ensuring a cleaner mangrove environment.
With the theme Tugon sa Isang Araw Lang, the cleanup kicked off with a motorcade from the municipal grounds to the mangrove area of Barangay Tungod, a coastal barangay only three kilometers from the town proper.
An estimated 150 cleanup volunteers participated in the event.
Municipal Fire Marshal Vicente Jumamoy said that the BFP decided to extend full support to the activity not only as a response to the campaign of Mr. Public Service Daniel Razon in his television program on UNTV Channel 47 to do something good in the community even in for a day only but also because social and civic action services are included in the fundamental duties and functions of firefighters.
Jumamoy also said the activity aimed to increase awareness on marine debris’ impact on people’s health so that everybody will give importance to a clean and sustainable marine environment. - Sunday Post
