EMPLOYEES of the Visayan Electric Company (Veco) collected an estimated 2,000 kilos of garbage during a clean-up drive along J. Panis St. in Cebu City on April 13.

A total of 58 Veco Kaibigans participated in the annual clean-up, which was dubbed “Atong Tugkaran, Atong Limpyuhan (Our Yard, Our Responsibility).”

The activity, the seventh edition this year, was Veco’s contribution to the Earth Day efforts to save the planet, and at the same time educate the company’s neighbors on the importance of proper waste disposal.

With their brooms, rakes and other cleaning materials, the Veco clean-up volunteers were able to gather close to 100 sacks of trash with the help of waste disposal personnel from Barangay Kasambagan.

“Atong Tugkaran, Atong Limpyuhan” is a corporate social responsibility activity of Veco to celebrate Earth Day. It also serves as a call for its customers and stakeholders to do their share in saving Mother Earth. (S)
