PRESS RELEASE | EcoWaste Coalition and ACRI Pitch for Chemical Safety and Zero Waste at Brigada Eskwela in QC School

---

Civil society groups highlighted the importance of being aware of the potential risks from chemicals and waste in the school environment and the need to mitigate, if not eliminate, these risks effectively as the annual National Schools Maintenance Week, also known as the Brigada Eskwela, goes in full swing.

In solidarity with the Department of Education (DepEd)-led program, the EcoWaste Coalition and the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health - Center for Research and Innovation (ACRI) partnered with the Pinyahan Elementary School in Quezon City for timely advocacy. The groups volunteered their energy not only to help with the eco-friendly cleanup, but also in promoting awareness and action on chemical and waste concerns in the school setting.

Schools Division Office-Quezon City gave approval to the advocacy as proposed by the EcoWaste Coalition. “We believe that this advocacy event will play a significant role in educating both students and the community about adopting practices towards a cleaner and healthier environment,” wrote Carleen Sedilla, Schools Division Superintendent.

Sa bawat kamay na nakaabot, sa bawat ngiting sumalubong, at sa bawat pusong naniwala—taos-puso po ang aking pasasalamat.

Hindi man tayo nabigyan ng pagkakataong manilbihan muli sa bagong yugto, ang ating layunin ay mananatili: ang maglingkod, magmalasakit, at magtaguyod para sa bayan at kalikasan.

Ang laban ay nagpapatuloy sa bawat araw, sa bawat pagkilos, sa bawat mamamayang may malasakit.

Maraming salamat, Carmona🌾
