On 19 September 2026, selected MS1 cadets of the Data Center College of the Philippines (DCCP) Laoag City ROTC Unit, accompanied by the Advance Officers, took part in a Coastal Clean-Up Drive at Barangay Gabu Sur, Laoag City, Ilocos Norte. The activity served as an avenue for the cadets to contribute to environmental preservation while strengthening their sense of civic responsibility and commitment to community service.
The coastal clean-up drive highlighted the importance of collective action in protecting our coastal areas and maintaining a clean and sustainable environment. Through their active participation, the cadets demonstrated that volunteerism goes beyond fulfilling a responsibilityโit is a meaningful expression of discipline, cooperation, and concern for the community. Their efforts reflected the value of working together in addressing environmental concerns and promoting awareness among the people they serve.
The activity was conducted under the supervision of LTC PEDRO A DACANAY JR. (INF) PA, Director of the 101st Community Defense Center (101CDC) and Commandant of the DCCP ROTC Unit. With the guidance of the Advance Officers and the supervision of the training leadership, the cadets displayed initiative, teamwork, and dedication throughout the engagement, embodying the spirit of service and volunteerism that remains an essential part of ROTC training.
