Puerto Princesa City actively participated in the Co-Design Workshop for grantees of the 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 (𝗦𝗕𝗖𝗖) Grants under the EU-GEPP Green LGUs Project.

The activity aimed to align the objectives and targets of the City’s Circular Economy Portfolio, with a strategic focus on Waste-to-Resource Innovation, and Eco-Tourism and Circular Hospitality.
As one of the first ten pilot LGUs under the EU-GEPP Green Economy Partnership with the Philippines, Puerto Princesa continues to pursue the shift toward a more sustainable and inclusive economy. The EU-GEPP is a five-year programme (2023–2028) funded by the European Union and implemented by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in partnership with DILG, DTI, and DOE. It aims to accelerate the country’s transition to a circular economy, promote renewable energy, reduce waste, and enhance climate resilience. Among its four key strategic pillars is the enhancement of circular economy practices at the local level through multi-stakeholder collaboration.

The workshop, held on July 10–11, 2025, at the Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) Conference Room, brought together key members of the Local Circular Economy Action Team (LCEAT), representatives from national government agencies (DENR, DOST), Project Zaccheaus, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Through this initiative, Puerto Princesa reaffirms its commitment to pursue innovative solutions to the challenges of waste management, sustainable resources, paving the way for a greener and more resilient future.

Over 3,000 individuals from various sectors, including the academe, city government employees, uniformed personnel from national agencies, business sector representatives, and other government agencies, participated in the activity. A total of approximately 85 tons of marine trash was collected.

In his message, City Mayor Bayron emphasized the importance of collaborative action in cleaning the bays and supporting the city's initiatives towards marine life conservation. This activity, which started on July 15, 2023, supports the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal No. 14, "Life Below Water." The communal activity aims to raise public awareness about the significance of individual participation in rehabilitating coastal areas affected by marine litter pollution through coastal cleanups and to control the proliferation of harmful pollutants in water bodies by applying Effective Microorganism (E.M.) Mudballs.

The Office of the City Environment and Natural Resources Officer, led by Atty. Carlo B. Gomez, was recognized as the Champion of the 1st Scoop Basura 3.0 for the CGPP category, collecting a total of 520 garbage bags filled with marine litter. This highlights the office's commitment to environmental sustainability.
