Toyota PH and Ernie Gawilan lead ‘Start Your Impossible’ National Coastal Cleanup and Mangrove Planting Day
Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), in collaboration with Paralympic swimmer Ernie Gawilan successfully concluded the “Start Your Impossible” National Coastal Cleanup and Mangrove Planting Day, held last December 14, 2024.
The event, held in 33 locations across the Philippines, aimed to inspire communities to protect marine ecosystems and tackle coastal pollution, supporting Gawilan’s social commitment as a Global Team Toyota Athlete (GTTA).
The event, which brought together 1,302 volunteers from Toyota Motor Philippines, and the Toyota dealer network—guided by the local government unit and environment offices—highlighted the importance of preserving the marine ecosystem and combating the pressing issue of coastal pollution.
The group of volunteers collected 789 bags of plastic waste and debris.
Alongside the cleanup efforts, 10,354 mangrove seedlings were planted, further contributing to the restoration of critical mangrove forests in various coastal communities.
