(Courtesy of CFC-MisOr) CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - There are still a lot to be done to reduce plastic wastes along shorelines and in coastal communities here. Based on the post-cleanup assessment of Barangay Bonbon chair Allan Mabalacad after the annual International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day that involved 13 villages over the weekend, there must be firm measures to minimize the accumulation of plastic waste. "The village has (a significant number of) commercial beach area, maybe the reason why they got more plastic bottle trash in the area," he said in an interview. Maria Judelyn Pueblos, one of the cleanup volunteers, said most of the retrieved trash were plastic bottles and wrappers. The Cagayan de Oro City cleanup kicked off in Barangay Lapas
