More than 6000 students from various schools in Metro Manila joined the 2018 Manila Bay Coastal Clean-up in conjunction with Global Youth Summit 2018 led by Global Peace Foundation in partnership with Philippine Society of NSTP Educators and Implementers, City of Manila and SM Cares.
Since 2013, schools, government, and volunteer organizations come together for the Manila Bay Coastal Clean-Up that engages thousands of students for a service project to remove trash from the bay and identify sources of debris. Students and volunteers from more than 50 colleges and universities in National Capital Region joined the massive coastal clean-up drive along Manila Bay to promote better ocean health and environmental consciousness and to advance clean and peaceful communities through youth volunteerism.
