The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) said President Rodrigo R. Duterte needs to issue an executive order broadly mobilizing government agencies to work toward the rehabilitation of the Laguna de Bay. In a statement, MAP cited as a model government efforts to clean up Boracay Island and called for a similar level of commitment to preserve Laguna de Bay for water security and eco-tourism. “We urge PRRD to take similar action… and order a Save Laguna Lake action by issuing an Executive Order to direct all national and local government units and instrumentalities to immediately implement all existing laws, rules, regulations and directives to protect and rehabilitate Laguna Lake and the forest cover of its watershed in the surrounding hills and mountains,” MAP said.
