Now on its 6th year, the Manila Bay SUNSET Partnership Program, Inc (MBSPPI) takes its clean-up and rehabilitation projects to new heights by launching an Information and Education Campaign (IEC)  entitled "That Thing Called Basura" to supplement the program's clean-up efforts and boost environmental awareness among the public.

The IEC was officially launched during the Annual Manila Bay Clean-up led the LANDBANK, as part of their  52nd Anniversary celebration.  The campaign aims to educate the public on the urgent need for proper waste management as evidenced by the presence of solid wastes accumulating in water ways, rivers, and the Manila Bay.

As part of their objective to reach out and educate the masses,  MBSPPI produce a short campaign AVP particularly on waste disposal and the need to reinforce the 3R + D = 0 (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle + Discipline equals zero basura).  To make the material more appealing, an interesting love story vignette was used to link proper garbage disposal.  This AVP was first premiered during the clean-up and will be played in various channels such as corporate websites and social media sites of all MBSPPI members and office of government agencies, terminals, and other public spaces.

In addition, the IEC will also be supported by a social media campaign dubbed as “SolusyonNiBinion:3R+D” through an official Facebook account where stakeholders and volunteers may post and share their best practices for the environment and by using the hashtag “#iBinNyoYan”.  The IEC also has a primary mascot named “Binion”, a representation of segregation trash bins, which was also introduced during the program.
