The Taganito Mining Corporation (TMC) Mine Environmental Protection and Enhancement Office (MEPEO) spearheaded the month-long celebration of Environment Month 2025 with the theme, “Ending Global Plastic Pollution.”
The celebration featured a series of engaging and impactful activities that promoted environmental awareness and action among employees, partner agencies, and nearby communities.
Highlights included plogging (an activity that combines jogging with picking up litter); participation in the MGB-Caraga opening and culmination programs; a quiz bowl; and several tree-planting activities in observance of World Environment Day, Philippine Arbor Day, and Provincial Arbor Day.
Coastal initiatives, such as SCUBAsurero for World Oceans Day and a PENRO-led coastal cleanup, were also conducted.
MEPEO also organized a webinar and environmental talks in celebration of Coral Triangle Day and to promote ecological solid waste management, joined the MGB Color Run, carried out tree-planting activities with the SNNHS Alumni, and hosted online competitions that encouraged creative expressions of environmental advocacy.
The celebration culminated in TMC’s Environment Month Closing Program, which featured the Bb. and Ginoong Kalikasan Competition, a dance competition participated in by invited community groups, and presentations from contractors showcasing their environmental initiatives.
Contractors were also recognized for their support and active involvement throughout the month-long celebration.
Through these activities, TMC reaffirmed its commitment to environmental protection, particularly in combating plastic pollution and preserving both marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
The events not only promoted environmental awareness but also reflected the company’s continuing advocacy for a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable planet — from ridge to reef.
