THE massive flooding in Metro Manila and other provinces in Luzon last July 2025 was extremely alarming and showed a real cause of concern for our country.

A team of private institutions responded to the challenge, formed an alliance by organizing two relevant events that will spark transformation — Plog the Planet Parade and the 6th International Sustainability Summit.

Happening at Lakeshore Taguig on September 28, 2025, Plog the Planet Parade is a cleanup fun run activity that enables participants to pick up the trash they find while running or walking their way to the finish line.

The organizers want to convey a strong message that these wastes do not belong to any of our bodies of water.

Participants from this first of its kind run in our country gain access to the 6th International Sustainability Summit to be held on October 1, 2025 at Jose Rizal University in Mandaluyong City. The summit brings together leaders from business, education, government, and civil society to share ideas, solutions, and real stories of sustainability in action.

Every Stride Protects our Future

Participating in this worthwhile endeavor will benefit our planet. Mangrove Matters PH will plant one mangrove seedling for every registered runner. They will also receive certificates as proof of their contribution to coastal reforestation.

Trash to Cashback makes recycling rewarding through its Eco-Marathon. Participating runners earn Environmental Points when they collect recyclables, which they can exchange for discounts and digital vouchers.

Plog the Planet is a nationwide cleanup fun run on September 28, held alongside the 6th International Sustainability Summit. It’s all about plogging – a mix of jogging or walking while picking up trash to protect our land, seas, and communities.
