Imperial Pacific International’s Corporate Social Responsibility team conducted a massive cleanup last week covering the whole Marpi stretch that included the Korean Memorial, Okinawa Peace Memorial, and the Last Japanese Command Post.
“We are already experiencing an influx of tourists visiting the islands and this is one reason why we are assisting in maintaining through cleanup of our historical sites,” said Geri Dela Cruz, executive director of Imperial Pacific’s CSR department.
The onset of rain recently exposed these historical sites to slip hazards, Dela Cruz said. Imperial Pacific’s CSR group cleaned up and removed potential slip hazards. “We also wanted to assist in eliminating slip hazards at these sites frequented by tourists.”
Imperial Pacific’s CSR team pressure washed all memorials and sidewalks within the memorials. They also painted curbs and tire stops in parking lots of the whole walkabout stretch from the Korean Memorial, past the Last Command Post.
IPI-CSR also replaced all flags donated by the Marianas Visitors Authority.
Last month, Imperial Pacific responded to the call of MVA in encouraging businesses, government agencies and volunteer groups to take part in the upkeep and maintenance of Paseo de Marianas, considered the heart of Garapan, which is the business hub of the Northern Marianas.
The cleanup is part of MVA’s beautification project, an undertaking that involves private businesses and government agencies as partners. (PR)
