With this year’s Earth Day 2025 theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) held its 16th Recyclables Collection Event. Earth Day is celebrated every April 22nd of the year.
It was imperative for the SBMA to highlight Communication Education and Public Awareness to empower stakeholders. An online forum on Health and Environment was also held and other activities at the Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center.
“As for the main event, the 16th Recyclables Collection Event (RCE), will be held at the Mini Golf Course area of the Subic Bay Freeport, where stakeholders can bring hazardous waste materials and recyclable materials to ensure their proper disposal,” SBMA Chairman and Administrator Eduardo Jose L. Aliño said.
To reduce plastic pollution by reducing waste from single-use plastics, an exhibit on sustainable products and technology was held at the Harbor Point Ayala Mall.
Proceeds from the donated recyclable materials collected will be doled out to the employees of Omniworx, the company tasked to clean and maintain SBMA buildings all over the Subic Bay Freeport.
Reiterating that these employees are “our partners in the segregation of wastes at source,” Aliño said they ensure that recyclables are properly segregated and turned over during the bi-annual RCE exhibit for proper disposal through our waste haulers.

Earth Day 2025 is a step towards its goal in the Race to Carbon Neutrality, making this premier Freeport into a carbon-neutral zone in the future,” Aliño said.
