Patuloy na nasa GOOD category ang air quality sa Koronadal at Tupi Stations base sa latest PM2.5 at PM10 monitoring ng EMB XII. Ibig sabihin, mas ligtas at mas komportable ang paghinga para sa karamihan ng mamamayan.

Pero tandaan: ang malinis na hangin ay responsibilidad nating lahat. Iwasan ang pagsusunog ng basura, panatilihing maayos ang sasakyan, at suportahan ang mga gawaing pangkalikasan sa komunidad. Maliit na aksyon, malaking ambag para sa mas malinis na hangin.

Patuloy na mag-monitor ng air quality updates mula sa EMB XII para manatiling informed at ligtas ang bawat pamilya.

The Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) Region XII successfully conducted the SOX Water Summit on May 20, 2026, in General Santos City, bringing together representatives from the academe, local government units (LGUs), national government agencies (NGAs), non-government organizations (NGOs), and various partner stakeholders under the theme, "Sustaining the Blue Heart of the South: Protecting the Biodiversity of Sarangani Bay through Science, Policy, and Innovation."

In his opening remarks delivered on behalf of EMB XII Regional Director Engr. Omar Saikol, Mr. Abdulkadir C. Andang, Chief of the Finance and Administrative Division, encouraged full participation from all stakeholders and stressed the importance of translating discussions into concrete action. He emphasized that the summit was never intended to end with a document alone, but with commitments — ones that participants would carry back to their offices, barangays, and boardrooms.

The summit served as a key platform for collaboration and knowledge-sharing among sectors committed to the protection and sustainable management of Sarangani Bay, one of the region's most vital marine ecosystems. Recognized for its ecological richness and economic significance, the bay plays a crucial role in fisheries, tourism, livelihood generation, and climate resilience across the SOCCSKSARGEN region.
