On the early morning of June 17, 2011 at around 6:00 a.m., a heavy crowd of people converged at Damosa Parking lot near McDonald mostly coming from the five barangays namely; Brgy. Hizon Sr., Brgy. Angliongto, Brgy. Buhangin, Brgy. Pampanga and Brgy. Cabantian bringing with them different kinds of tools and implements.

A short program was prepared by DENR to explain the concept of the "Adopt-A-Creek-Program” and to stimulate the attendees to be concern & actively participate. After the short program, the crowd dispersed and went straight to their designated areas of responsibility.

Present also were representatives from the different branches of government like Dept. of Health, PNP, DEPED, DPWH, CENRO, PAF, AFP and others to heed the call of DENR who spearheaded the "Adopt-A-Creek-Program.”

The "Adopt-A-Creek-Program” is a concerted effort to save the creek from degenerating and transform it to a pristine waterway that could be a habitat for different kinds of species to thrive and breed.

The span of the creek is from Cabantian down to Waterfront Hotel and each barangay will become adoptors of the creek located within their area or boundary. Barangay V. Hizon Sr. is in charge of the maintenance and cleaning of the creek from Fortune Homes down to Waterfront Hotel.

The DENR should be given commendation for concocting such a bright idea that could help preserve the environment and truly a display of people power because of the people who positively responded the call. As John F. Kennedy puts it, "Ask not what the government can do for you but ask what you can do for the government.” Sec Red
