KKK holds 3rd wave of clean-up drive in CdeO
February 12, 2012
Estimated 1,060 volunteers of Kagay-anon Kami Katimbayayong Mo Misamisnon (KKK) conducted a new wave of clean–up this city.
In its 3rd and last concentrated effort, KKK cleaned-up 156 houses and front yards belonging to members of the Emily Homes Subdivision Homeowners Association distressed by typhoon Sendong.
Volunteers from the 22 towns of Misamis Oriental composed of barangay captains, barangay kagawads, women, youth leaders, barangay tanods, barangay nutrition scholars and barangay health workers showed acts of great kindness, when for the third time they came to the clean-up site. They came ready with shovels, sacks, boots, power sprays and backed up by backhoe, dump trucks and bulldozer.
For their part, Cagayan de Oro City Crisis Committee mobilized several dump trucks that hauled all day tons of soil and mud shoveled by volunteers out from houses and front yards in the subdivision.
RG & K Construction & General Enterprise brought along 80 personnel who joined the clean-up and generously mobilized heavy equipment of pay loaders, backhoe, truck mixer and power sprays. The use of heavy equipment easily disposed off soil, mud and garbage from houses, streets and canals.
Forty strong Philippine Navy officers and men of BRP Enrique Jurado led by Lieutenant Commander Primitivo Novo Jr., Philippine Navy-Patrol Gunboat 371 also joined the clean-up.
Working together with their team were officers and men of 73rd Naval Reserve Squadron and Philippine Navy Marines Association–CDO Chapter who all supported the successive clean-up launched in Barangay Carmen, Macasandig and Emily Homes Subdivision.
Jimmy N. Linan, a member of Emily Homes Subdivision was all smiles and full of gratitude as he saw hundreds of volunteers arrived in Emily Homes Subdivision.
As the clean-up came to its end, residents expressed gratitude to all KKK organizers and volunteers for the labor that was extended and the spirit of “oneness” that was kindly shown at a time when it was most needed. (CIO/Cheryl C. Moncay)
