Del Carmen named Region 13's best coastal town
Excerpt
The Municipality of Del Carmen in Siargao Island was recently named Caraga region’s grand winner in the Malinis and Masaganang Karagatan (MMK) program of the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) which recognizes the most outstanding coastal communities across the archipelago. Situated off the mainland of Surigao del Norte province, the town was awarded for its exemplary efforts in protecting and conserving their marine environment set by the BFAR. A perennial recipient of local government awards, which include the 2018 Galing Pook Public Service Innovation, the municipality will qualify for the national selection of the top winners of the MMK this November.
