PTC’s Sea Mariners together with ASSIST ASIA conducted a plogging
activity at the Las Pinas-Paranaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area
last 22 September.

Plogging is a global movement that combines
fitness with taking care of the environemnt.
The term “plogging” is coined from the
English phrase “jogging” and the Swedish
term “plocka upp” which means “picking up.”

The event was sponsored by Volvo Buses – Autodelta and the Swedish
Alumni Network Philippines (SANPH) and supported by the Embassy of
Sweden in Manila. Her Excellency Amb. Annika Thunborg spent time
with the participants and gave an insightful message on addressing
pollution, climate change, and environmental conservation in the
Philippines.

Sea Mariners scouts from the Noveleta High School Ship participated
in the plogging activity. They were joined by members of the PTC
Group community, ASSIST volunteers, and Amway Philippines.
