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.
