    Excerpt
    Two companies have signed agreements with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to sustain the efforts in cleaning Boracay island. Lopez-led power firm Energy Development Corp. through BINHI, its flagship environmental program, has committed to adopt wetland number 2, a 7.79- hectare area in Barangay Balabag where an arboretum of native trees will be put up. EDC also plans to build an information center for visitors of the wetland and a bird watch platform to allow visitors to view the birds and bats that have been sighted in the area.
