Puerto Galera clean-up next after Boracay, Manila Bay
Excerpt
Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu is hoping to replicate the rehabilitation efforts in Boracay and Manila Bay to promote the protection and preservation of tourist destinations in the country. Cimatu visited Puerto Galera last week to ensure that the famous tourist destination is being managed properly. “What we did and are doing in Boracay and Manila Bay, we will replicate in Puerto Galera,” he pointed out. The DENR chief checked on the construction of a P100-million modern sewerage treatment plant (STP) in Barangay Sabang during his visit to Puerto Galera. He also visited Barangay San Isidro as a prospective site of a second STP.
