Sixty-six Olive Ridley hatchlings were released back to their home on early morning of January 10, 2020. This was after the 65 days of their incubation period. The eggs were found last November 5, 2019 in front of Movenpick Resort & Spa Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Region 6 was thankful for the turtle release in the island of Boracay, and the vigilance on turtle conservation sworn y stakeholders in the island. “This hatchlings release and the recent visitation of whale shark last November 2019 in Boracay are good signs that the island (Boracay) is getting better and better because of the on-going rehabilitation that the government and the stakeholders are doing,” said DENR 6 Regional Executive Director Francisco E. Milla, Jr.
