PH oceans get a break, thanks to MPIC's shore it up
Excerpt
All over the country are quaint coastal towns, unknown to many people in Metro Manila, despite their rich biodiversity and exceptional beauty. From Alaminos, Pangasinan to Mabini, Batangas; Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro to Cordova, Cebu; Del Carmen, Siargao to Medina, Misamis Oriental, all the way to the province of Surigao Del Norte, are shoreline destinations whose lush mountains are untainted, almost untouched.
