That single plastic bottle doesn’t seem like much, until it’s joined by billions of others. The crisis in our oceans isn’t just a "global problem"; it’s a collection of individual choices.

Discipline means choosing the reusable over the convenient. It means making sure your waste ends up in a bin, not a current. If we have the discipline to change our habits, the tide will eventually turn.

A three-day coral assessment was successfully conducted through the collaborative efforts of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO), Naval Special Operations Group (NAVSOG), Philippine Coast Guard, the City Government of Legazpi, and the Integrated Coastal Resource Management (ICRM) Unit. The activity focused on evaluating coral reef health, documenting marine biodiversity, and identifying areas for conservation and rehabilitation. This joint initiative highlights strong inter-agency coordination in protecting and sustaining coastal and marine ecosystems.

LEGAZPI CITY — Demonstrating its trademark resilience and proactive disaster management, Legazpi City has officially recorded zero casualties throughout the observance of Holy Week and the bustling celebrations of Easter Sunday.

Mayor Hisham Ismail proudly confirmed the milestone, attributing the success to rigorous preparation, swift community cooperation, and the unwavering vigilance of the city's safety and security sectors.

Guarding the Coastlines, Securing the People
Holy Week in Legazpi traditionally sees a massive influx of locals and tourists flocking to the city's scenic coastlines and beaches to celebrate Easter Sunday. To counter the inherent risks of drowning and overcrowding, the city government executed a masterfully coordinated safety plan.

Mayor Ismail gave special recognition to two pivotal units that worked around the clock:

The Legazpi City Police: For maintaining strict peace and order, managing traffic flow to heavily visited areas, and ensuring a visible, reassuring presence across the city.

The Integrated Coastal Resource Management Unit (ICRMU): For their tireless dedication in guarding the coastlines, monitoring water conditions, and actively ensuring the safety of thousands of beachgoers.

"Our achievement of a zero-casualty Holy Week is not a stroke of luck; it is the direct result of hard work, sleepless nights, and the tireless dedication of our city police and the ICRMU," Mayor Ismail stated. "They stood watch so that our families could reflect, recreate, and celebrate in peace. I salute their service."

A CULTURE OF SAFETY
The city's zero-casualty feat further cements Legazpi’s reputation as a model for public safety and disaster risk reduction. City officials also extended their gratitude to the public for cooperating with safety marshals and adhering to local ordinances during the long weekend.

As the summer season continues, Mayor Ismail assured the public that the city government will maintain its high level of alertness to keep both residents and tourists safe.

Kasalukuyang ginaganap sa Lungsod ng Legazpi ang walong araw na training ng 32 youth leaders mula sa Albay at Sorsogon sa ilalim ng Resilience, Innovation, and Sustainability for Empowered Youth (RISE) Project.

Inaanyayahan ang lahat ng turista, bakasyonista, residente, at pati ang mga lumalangoy malapit sa boulevard na ugaliing mag-𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗚𝗢 (𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗚𝗼), lalo na ngayong Easter Sunday.

Panatilihin nating malinis at maayos ang ating mga pasyalan at dalampasigan para sa kapakinabangan ng lahat. Ang simpleng disiplina ay malaking ambag sa kaayusan ng ating lungsod.

🌊 BAYANIHAN SA DALAMPASIGAN: Patuloy Clean-up Drive sa kahabaan Legazpi Boulevard

Isang mabilis at masigasig na pagtugon ang ipinamalas ng ating mga kababayan matapos ang pananalasa ng hanging Amihan na nag-iwan ng mga inanod na basura sa kahabaan ng ating ipinagmamalaking Legazpi Boulevard.

Isang Pasasalamat at Pagpupugay
Lubos ang ating pasasalamat sa mga nakiisa sa gawaing ito:
• Barangay Puro Volunteers – Sa inyong walang pagod na dedikasyon.
• ICRMU, OCENR, at City Engineering Office – Sa teknikal na suporta at kagamitan.
• Individual Volunteers – Sa mga mamamayang kusang-loob na nag-alay ng lakas.

Dahil sa inyong tulong, muling naging malinis, ligtas, at maaliwalas ang ating boulevard para sa mga joggers, turista, at bawat pamilyang Legazpeño.

📢 MAHALAGANG PANAWAGAN
Sa kabila ng tagumpay ng ating clean-up drive, muli po tayong nananawagan sa lahat na maging responsable sa ating mga basura. Ang kalinisan ng ating dagat ay nagsisimula sa ating mga tahanan at sa ating disiplina sa lansangan.

Upang maiwasan ang pagdagsa ng kalat tuwing sasapit ang Amihan:
1. Huwag magtapon sa mga daluyan ng tubig.
2. Itapon ang basura sa tamang tapunan.
3. Ugaliin ang pagpulot ng sariling kalat lalo na kung tayo ay namamasyal sa Boulevard.

Ang ganda ng Legazpi ay kayamanan nating lahat—pangalagaan natin ito para sa susunod na henerasyon. Dios Mabalos sa saindong gabos!
