Pangasinan school's mangrove project makes it among 'World's Best'
Excerpt
From just a small project 10 years ago, Bonuan Boquig National High School’s environmental initiative of planting mangroves in Dagupan City, Pangasinan province, has brought the school to the shortlist of the World’s Best School Prizes, awarded by international educational group T4 Education. School principal Renato Santillan recalled that Typhoon “Pepeng” (international name: Parma) in 2009 had left heavy damage on fishponds, rivers, and mangroves in their barangay, after which the high school is named. This prompted them to start a project of growing new trees to help support students and their families, who subsisted on their catch at the mangroves before disaster struck.
