The Okada Manila casino resort in the Philippine capital has conducted a coastal cleanup drive in September at the Okada Boardwalk Seaside, in partnership with the Parañaque City government.
“The initiative is part of the ‘Okada Green Heart’ programme, particularly its waste management pillar, which champions cleaner spaces and responsible waste practices,” stated the complex’s promoter.
The announcement added regarding the mid-September initiative: “The effort brought together employees, local government partners, and agencies in a shared mission for environmental protection.”
“Manila Bay, a vital resource for nearby communities and marine ecosystems, has long faced challenges from pollution, making initiatives like this cleanup essential for resilience and biodiversity,” said the property’s promoter.
The update said nearly 360 volunteers from Okada Manila’s security and safety division, various other business units, and partner agencies took part in the drive, collecting a total 4.49 metric tonnes of trash from the coastline
The announcement cited Patrick Henry Villacorte, Okada Manila’s chief security and safety officer, as saying: “At Okada Manila, we believe sustainability isn’t just a commitment, it’s action. This coastal cleanup is proof that when we come together, we can make a real difference not just for the environment, but also our future.”
Okada Manila’s promoter stated: “Beyond immediate results, the activity strengthened ties with the local government, engaged team members in meaningful volunteer work, and contributed to broader sustainability goals, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.”
