Fifteen members of the fraternity and sorority group Alpha Phi Omega or APO (Theta Gamma Chapter) in Palawan conducted a naked run, dubbed as the ‘Run of the Valiants’, on Thursday, December 15, at PSU Road in Tiniguiban, Puerto Princesa City, to call for the effective implementation of waste segregation policy in the province, as well as the general protection of the environment.

Laxh Valdez, president of APO members in Palawan State University, said in an interview that their group is calling for the public’s support in abiding by the policy on waste segregation and its implementation.

“Nananawagan kami na sana i-support natin ang solid waste management, City ENRO sa waste segregation,” he said.

Valdez also explained that today’s activity is part of their 91st anniversary celebration tomorrow, December 16.

APO already conducted four times the ‘oblation run’ in Palawan, the latest to assert the country’s ownership over Kalayaan (Spratlys).
