Beach safety procedures and information on the Marine Protected Area in San Juan were also presented.
Gov. Raphaelle Veronica “Rafy” Ortega-David, in a message delivered by her Executive Assistant Eleazar Belgica, highlighted the importance of securing environmental permits to sustain environmental protection.
“We recognize that despite po our busy schedules in our various industries, importante at required pa rin po ang pag acquire natin sa ating mga environmental permits para masiguro ang kaligtasan ninyo at ng ating kalikasan,” Gov. Rafy’s message.
Highlighting the importance of #LaUnionProbinsyanihan in driving environmental stewardship, the PGLU remains steadfast in its thrust to provide services and programs that foster environmental accountability among kaPROBINSYAnihan.
