ORMOC CITY– The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office (DEO) has officially partnered with ASEZ WAO, the young adult worker volunteer group of the World Mission Society Church of God, through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to support their environmental advocacy efforts.
The MOU was signed by District Engineer Rosita A. Tinawin and Assistant District Engineer Peter Scheler V. Soco, with ASEZ WAO Tacloban Branch Manager Matthew Park. It aims to strengthen efforts in addressing environmental challenges, particularly by reducing plastic waste through the “No More GPGP” campaign, which advocates for eliminating the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
In her message, DE Tinawin praised the group’s dedication to environmental and humanitarian efforts. “On behalf of the community, I extend my deepest gratitude for your unwavering commitment,” she said. “May your efforts continue to flourish and inspire others to join in creating a meaningful change. Thank you for your commitment to humanity and to earth.”
As part of the program, the Korean volunteers prepared video presentations highlighting their environmental projects, along with performances like the traditional Korean fan dance, “Buchaechum”, and musical numbers that showcased their passion for advocacy. Employees from the DEO showed their support by signing their pledges to advance the group’s cause. (PR)
