Where the pawikans are: The Aboitiz Cleanergy Park Pawikan Center in Punta Dumalag, Davao City Aboitiz Power Corporation (AboitizPower) recognizes the importance of environmental sustainability. Its support for Aboitiz Cleanergy Park’s Pawikan Center is one of its many initiatives to make this world a better place for everyone — including pawikans or sea turtles. What was once eight hectares of grassland along a coast in Punta Dumalag, Davao City is now an outdoor biodiversity learning center, ecological preserve, and haven for sea turtles. An initiative of the Aboitiz Group and managed by Davao Light and Power Co., a subsidiary of AboitizPower, the Aboitiz Cleanergy Park’s Pawikan Center now stands as a model of habitat conservation and biodiversity management. Environmental care practices, along with local government and civil society support, help protect pawikan nesting areas and hatchlings within its premises while nurturing injured adult green sea, olive ridley, and hawksbill turtles back to health.

Stronger PH action urged vs Chinese rhetoric, disinfo Sarao, Zacarian The animosity seen in recent exchanges between Philippine officials and the Chinese Embassy in Manila has prompted the 1Sambayan political coalition, known for its strong opposition to China’s expansive claims in the South China Sea, to call on the government to take a firmer stand to defend the national interest. In a statement on Saturday, 1Sambayan urged the government, specifically the Department of Foreign Affairs, to respond more strongly to the forceful rhetoric from China’s embassy, including declaring certain embassy officers as persona non grata. Recent statements from the embassy “appear calculated to pressure and embarrass the Philippines” as it further advances its narratives that “counter established facts and national interests.”
