A recognized SARINGGAYA awardee and a premier green research institution in the province, Catanduanes State University (CatSU) demonstrates its commitment to green initiatives and environmental stewardship as it took center stage at the International Coastal Cleanup 2023, September 16.

Under the leadership of CatSU President Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza, the university rallied hundreds of volunteers, including faculty, non-teaching personnel, and students, for this crucial environmental initiative along the shores of Antipolo Del Sur and Antipolo Del Norte.

In the opening program at the Provincial Capitol Grounds, Dr. Azanza delivered a message that pinned on the spirit of unity and environmental responsibility.

"Maogma na kita nagkakasararo, para sa maayos asin patanos na kapaributan sa isla," he said, emphasizing unity in taking care of the environment.

"Mabalik man sana ang problema na satong yatao sa kapaributan," he continued, highlighting the potential consequences of our actions, as the waste we discard may return as problems.

"Ipagrokyaw ang pangangaipo. Magkakasararo pirmi para sa karahayan kan satuyang gabos," he passionately expressed, underlining his Padagos na Patanos Movement, which expands the university's extension arm in the community.

CatSU's participation in the cleanup event highlighted its commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.

The university has long been at the forefront of green research and education, consistently emphasizing the importance of preserving Catanduanes' natural beauty.

The involvement of CatSU faculty, staff, and students demonstrated the deep-rooted dedication to these ideals, as they worked tirelessly alongside other volunteers to clear beaches and coastal areas of all kinds of wastes.  #ATugay
