Excerpt
The 3,667.31-hectare Sasmuan Pampanga Coastal Wetland (SPCW) has been listed as a “wetland of international importance” under the Ramsar Convention standards, an official said on Wednesday. Martha Rojas Urrego, secretary-general of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, signed the certificate confirming that the wetland became the eighth Ramsar site in the Philippines and the first in Central Luzon. The Biodiversity Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources endorsed the status ahead of the World Wetlands Day on Feb. 2.
