ATI joins port community in Manila Bay Cleanup

September 17, 2019

Manila-based Asian Terminals Inc. (ATI) recently teamed up with the Philippine Ports Authority, the Philippine Coast Guard, Department of Environment, the city government of Manila, local schools and other maritime and business stakeholders in cleaning up the shores of Manila Bay in support of this year’s annual Bay Cleanup Drive.

ATI employees joined thousands of volunteers who turned up at the Baseco beach area during the weekend clean-up drive to help clear tons of debris, especially those washed ashore in the spate of recent typhoons and weather disruptions.

The Manila South Harbor operator supports the annual initiative with hopes of raising greater environmental awareness and encouraging more stakeholders to protect the historic Manila Bay, a major trade waterway and livelihood source for nearby coastal communities.

ATI is also an active partner of DENR’s Adapt an Estero Waterbody Program, a multisectoral initiative which aims to resuscitate Metro Manila’s major waterways.
