Munti calls for ecowarriors

For the month of June, the city of  Muntinlupa is calling for volunteer ecowarriors to help clean up waterways and plant trees--and exciting rewards await those who heed the call.

The City Government recently launched "Make Your City Proud" (MYCP), a volunteer program that aims to address social issues such as environmental awareness through volunteerism and camaraderie among Muntinlupeños.

"Through this initiative, we aim to harness the synergy between the local government, the private sector, and citizen volunteers to achieve bigger goals together, instead of on our own," Mayor Ruffy Biazon said.

This synergy that makes MYCP different from previous volunteer programs is the perks and incentives offered by partners in the private sector. By participating in each activity, volunteers can earn and accumulate points that they can redeem for rewards in partner merchants such as Jollibee, Pancake House, Max’s Restaurant, Kenny Rogers Roasters, Seattle’s Best Coffee, and Art Fresh Chicken Corporation.

On June 5, the MYCP will kick off the month's activities with a cleanup drive at Bayanan Baywalk.

The volunteers will then return on June 24 to plant trees, bougainvillea, and palmera at the Bayanan Baywalk as well as at Weidmann, Putatan. This is followed by a river cleanup drive along the Alabang-Cupang River on the next day, June 25.
