NPC Caliraya-Lumot Watershed Area Team (CLWAT) successfully led a Lake Clean-up Drive on 12 December 2024  at Lumot Lake, Barangay Bukal, Cavinti, Laguna.

Members and officers of the Samahan ng mag Palaisdaan sa Lawa ng Lumot (SPLL), along with local barangay delegates from Mahipon/Lumot, Bukal, Cansuso, Inao-awan, and Paowin actively participated in the event.

This event was further supported by the 202nd Infantry (UNIFIER) Brigade Philippine Army and the Philippine Coast Guard Sub-Station CGSS Cavinti, who provided security and assistance to ensure the safety of all volunteers during the clean-up operation.

Participants demonstrated their commitment in protecting the integrity of the lake by addressing the growing environmental concern of water hyacinth infestation. Their collective efforts ensured that the spread of invasive plants, plastic bottles, and other waste were reduced.

This initiative demonstrated the value of collective action in safeguarding natural resources, while reinforcing the bayanihan spirit in the local communities. The success of this clean-up drive shows how collaboration and commitment can create a meaningful impact.

Let us continue the momentum of this vital cause and inspire more communities to join the movement towards cleaner and healthier lakes!
