The first video, titled “Katuwang sa Kalikasan,” narrates the efforts of PHILUSAin helping save the environment. According to studies, the Philippines ranks as the third largest contributor of marine plastic waste. In its bid to reduce ocean-bound plastic waste, PHILUSA joined hands with the Canada-based social enterprise Plastic Bank. The organization is committed to getting rid of ocean plastic while helping improve the lives of plastic collectors. In just a year, PHILUSA and Plastic Bank collected 2.5 million plastic bottles, preventing them from entering the ocean.
Meanwhile, the second video titled “Katuwang sa Kalinisan,” follows PHILUSA’sefforts in promoting basic access to clean water, in partnership with Manila Water Foundation (MWF). Data reveal that 50.3 million Filipinos still do not have access to water sanitation facilities and services as of 2020. To address this pressing issue, MWF has launched “WASH: Water Access, Sanitation, and Hygiene,” a program that promotes health and sanitation in marginalized communities. PHILUSA joins MWF in its mission to improve access to clean and potable water, as well as the promotion of proper hygiene practices in communities. PHILUSA also partners with MWF in the observance of other related programs, including Global Handwashing Day, World Toilet Day, and World Oral Health Day.
