    Geothermal producer Energy Development Corp. is investing P10 million in the rehabilitation of its adopted wetland in Barangay Balabag here over a three-year period. “Under our memorandum of agreement with the DENR [Department of Environment and Natural Resources], the BWCP is a three-year project,” EDC corporate social responsibility head Allan Barcena said. The 7.79-hectare Wetland No. 2 is one of the nine wetlands in the island identified by the DENR where environmental rehabilitation is needed. The brackish water swamp that has been turned into a construction dump over the years. Wetlands are areas that are permanently or seasonally saturated by water and plays a critical role in climate change adaptation and mitigation.
