ZAMBOANGA CITY – A group of personnel of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA)-9 and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-9 will leave today for the province of Tawi-Tawi to formally launch the Climate Change Advocacy Campaign (CCAC) in this southernmost part of the country.
In a pre-departure meeting held here last night, it was learned that the Protected Area Management Board (PMAB) would also be holding a meeting at the Turtle Islands in Tawi-Tawi.
Aside from the CCAC launching, Mr. Cidur Julsadjiri of the DENR-9’s Protected Area and Wildlife Division (PAWD) said, a CCAC forum will also be also conducted to the students in Taganak Island.
Also joining the group to the Turtle Islands are representatives of the Biodiversity Management Office (BMO), Turtle Conservation Society of the Philippines (TCSP) and Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
A naval boat will take them from Bongao town, the capital of Tawi-Tawi province, to Taganak Island where a CCAC billboard will be erected. They will be back to Zamboanga City on Sept. 10.
