Excerpt
The Aboitiz Group handed over the rehabilitated Wetland No. 4, now known as the Balabag Wetland Park, to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) during a turnover ceremony held on 16 June 2022. As a testament to the Group’s commitment to the preservation of biodiversity and environmental protection in the Boracay islands, the one-hectare lagoon area in Barangay Balabag has been transformed into a linear urban park in partnership with key national government agencies led by the DENR Region VI, the Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), and the Department of Tourism (DoT).
