Pasil youth volunteers encourage fellow to promote environmental awareness

Pasil, Kalinga – Members of the group of Pasil youth volunteers are encouraging their fellow youngsters to take an active part in promoting environmental awareness in the community, either by joining in clean-up drive activities or in other ways.

The group stressed that youth and other sectors have a moral responsibility to be environmental stewards and contribute to a clean environment to ensure a brighter future for the next generation.

Members of Pasil Volunteers Organization (PVO) headed by Chan Keight Patongao are set to conduct a clean-up drive on Sunday, March 6, 2022, starting from the boundary of the City of Tabuk until Cagaluan, Pasil.

The activity, according to Patongao, is in partnership with Volunteer Element Nourishing Development, Equality, Transparency, and Accountability (VENDETA) led by Jhado Ayangdo, and Kalinga-Apayao Youth Organization (KAYO)-Pasil Chapter.

PVO and KAYO-Pasil President and VENDETA adviser and co-founder, Chan Keight Patongao said this is their third time to do clean-up drive from Tabuk City to Cagaluan, Pasil since 2021.

Patongao explained that they have been initiating such activities to promote proper waste management, sanitation and progress of the community, while empowering the youth as productive members of the community.

“We love nature. That's why we want the environment clean. And also, all these activities para kahit man lang papaano, makutulong kami sa community even though we are not government officials,” added Patongao.

Patongao further underscored that the activity is well coordinated with the local government unit of Pasil under the leadership of Mayor Alfredo ‘Chao-ig’ Malannag Jr.

Malannag had been extending his all-out support to the activities of the youth, recognizing their contribution to the society.
