With a loud cheer containing Mother’s warmth, 400 volunteers of Save the Earth from A to Z – We Are One (ASEZ WAO) surprised fellow participants of the “Battle for Manila Bay” cleanup event. 5,000 participants from different groups and agencies joined the “Battle for Manila Bay” to jumpstart the iconic bay’s rehabilitation.
ASEZ WAO, Brightening the “Battle for Manila Bay”
ASEZ WAO’s heartfelt cheer took place during the keynote speech of Roy Cimatu, secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. When Sec. Cimatu paused at a key point in his speech, ASEZ WAO volunteers echoed the goal of “Battle for Manila Bay” with a loud chant. “Save Manila Bay! We love you! (3x)”
Sec. Cimatu looked at the volunteers, stunned but touched. “Thank you,” he said. “That was unscripted!” he commented in Filipino as he turned back to the audience.
Caught off-guard by ASEZ WAO’s sudden cheer, some cameramen asked the volunteers in bright green vests to repeat the chant. The ASEZ WAO members even approached the stage later in the program.
Later, all participating groups picked trash from the shoreline during the “Battle for Manila Bay” clean-up drive. ASEZ WAO volunteers picked up literally any garbage they saw, reaching between large rocks and into canals. Some volunteers even retrieved a wallet that had fallen into a canal and turned it over to the police.
“Battle for Manila Bay” Far From ASEZ WAO’S First Cleanup
Fellow participants and even the hosts of the “Battle for Manila Bay” opening program noticed the passionate volunteers. “I was so emotional, actually. It was so amazing to see a lot of our guests from ASEZ WAO,” said host Antoinette Taus. She was surprised and moved to hear that ASEZ WAO has long been spearheading environmental initiatives.
“It’s a very overwhelming deed, in fact, that you guys are doing this… out of your compassion to help,” said another host. He was later shown around the ASEZ WAO panel exhibit along the baywalk.
ASEZ WAO’s participation in the “Battle for Manila Bay” wasn’t their only volunteer activity that day. 150 university student volunteers of ASEZ led a “Mother’s Street” cleanup drive in Caloocan City that same morning.
ASEZ WAO stands for “Save the Earth from A to Z – We Are One.” It comprises young adult volunteers from the multi-awarded World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG). This organization aims to awaken young adults’ passion and embrace the world with Mother’s love, from the beginning to the end.

I’ve been to Manila Bay before. There was a lot of garbage deep into the sand. It was a place that really needed cleaning. I thought it was possible when many people were cleaning together. But ASEZ did this! I think it is a beautiful and wonderful service organization! We are looking forward to a young ASEZ who practices God’s love!
It is nice to see that young people devote their energies n passion to benefit the world 🙂
Young ppl spent their time for making the better world, not for enjoying themselves. That’s something!
I am very supportive of seeing articles about environmental cleanup and volunteer activities of ASEZ from all over the world.
You who use youth and enthusiasm in good way are beautiful.
So many people participated in the clean-up drive. I believe that the Earth will be saved if there are more people like ASEZ WAO.
