The Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) of this province has mandated the immediate removal of paint on rocks found in the riverbed at Purok Gayas, Barangay Minoyan, Murcia town. A video of attractive, colorful rocks within a resort in Murcia recently went viral in social media, prompting the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through the PENRO to conduct an investigation and coordination with the Community ENR Office of Bago City – Surveillance and Intelligence Unit, to ascertain the discovery of what could be a case of vandalism.

Painted rocks might endanger water quality. (2024, October 2). Panay News, p. 4.
