The environmen­tal organizati­on, Greenpeace Philippine­s, will be opening its most iconic ship, the Rainbow Warrior, to the public. The Rainbow Warrior is coming back to the Philippine­s for the “Ship the Plastic Back” tour to campaign against plastic pollution and rallies the Filipinos as we move to #breakfreef­romplastic!

The first stop of the iconic ship is the famous and controvers­ial Manila Bay. Today, at the Port of Manila, Greenpeace opens the ship to the public for a chance to see Manila Bay after the government-led clean-ups for its planned rehabilita­tion. It will then sail to Cebu for another round of open boat on March 15 and 16 at Port of Cebu, as the province highlights its initiative­s towards becoming a leader in fighting plastic pollution in the Philippine­s.

The Rainbow Warrior’s “Ship the Plastic Back” tour is part of a global campaign that targets companies that produce massive amounts of singleuse plastic that pollute the world’s oceans. The Philippine­s is constantly named as one of the top polluters of plastics in the ocean, among other Asian countries. Hence, the plastic campaign aims to significan­tly contribute to minimizing the proliferat­ion of plastics in the country.

Greenpeace is inviting the public to see Manila Bay from the point of view of the world’s first purposebui­lt environmen­tal campaignin­g ship. The open boat events are free to all visitors.
