Cleaning up our surroundings isn’t an exclusive domain of
the maintenance person but rather a responsibility that emanates within US. If
we dearly revere Señor Santo Niño who gave us the world, it is very fitting
that we must reciprocate his love by clutching responsibility in taking care of
his life giving gift.
