Army conducts clean-up drive in CDO

From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 28): Army conducts clean-up drive in CDO

CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City -- Soldiers from the Fourth Infantry “Diamond” Division conducted a clean-up drive along the roads of Barangays Patag, Bulua and Kauswagan all of Cagayan de Oro City this week. This activity is another product of the "bayanihan" (cooperation) spirit which aims to clean and beautify the surroundings and also to stop the breeding of dengue-causing mosquitoes, said Army spokesperson Lt. Col. Eugenio Julio Osias, Jr.

He said soldiers also removed garbage along the city’s major highways in Bulua and Kauswagan to clear waterways during heavy rains that often caused flooding in the area. Osias said the Army hopes the little activity would provide simple gestures that would encourage the citizenry to exercise cleanliness in their surroundings to eradicate diseases caused by mosquitoes such as dengue fever.

The clean-up and beautification activities showed the soldiers were concerned about the importance of personal health and sanitation in the community, Osias added.
