The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Caraga Region through its Regional Strategic Communication and Initiatives Group (RSCIG), in partnership with the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) Caraga, launched the Regional Solid Waste Management Advocacy Campaign on June 15, 2022, at the Robinsons Place Butuan Atrium.

During the program, the campaign’s face, a mascot named “Pinas: the Basura Buster” was introduced to the public together with the "Basura Buster" Gaming Application for kids.

"𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫" is the modern-day basurero (garbage man) fully equipped with special upcycled weaponry to keep the environment clean. He received special tactical training to teach the youth about the importance of every individual's role in proper waste management in the country's fight to keep our surroundings, especially our rivers, lakes, beaches, and seas free of garbage.

"𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫" 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, on the other hand, serves as a fun online tool to teach the kids how to properly segregate their wastes. It can be downloaded through the google play store.

The event was graced by DENR Undersecretary for Enforcement, Solid Waste Management, Local Government Units Concerns, and Attached Agencies Ret. Gen. Benito Antonio T. De Leon; SCIS Director Khalil S. Bayam; DENR Caraga Regional Executive Director Nonito M. Tamayo; ARD for Technical Services Maritess M. Ocampo; ARD for Management Services Atty. Claudio A. Nistal Jr.; EMB Caraga Regional Director Engr. Albert G. Arcamo; MGB Caraga Regional Director Engr. Larry M. Heradez; FWRDEC Center Head Conrado Marquez; Butuan City Hon. City Councilor Omar Andaya; guests from the Strategic Communication and Initiatives Service (SCIS); PENROs, CENROs, Division Chiefs; students and teachers from various schools and institutions; youth organizations, and other stakeholders.
