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.
