In line with the Summer Kids & Youth Camp 2026 the Local Youth Development Office of Palompon conducted the Batch 4 , of the Nature & Marine Biodiversity Walk today May 3, 2026 , it was participated by Young and Youths in the Municipality together with their parents/guardians.

This one whole day activity starts at Maria Anabe Cave where they are listening on the storytelling about this native folklore, and followed by the Kayak Activity for the kids with their parents/guardians.

The second stop is at Tabuk Marine & Bird Sanctuary where they are introduced and familiarize the different kinds of Mangroves, Fishes, Corals and other Marine Species that are present in the Sanctuary, especially they enjoyed the Bat Watching Activity and Giant Clams Observatory Activity.

The third stop is at the Palompon Terrestrial Eco-Adventure Park where the kids get a chance to see the beauty of nature and the parents experienced the different rides: Sky Bike & Zipline.

And the last and final stop is at Palompon Sanitary Landfill at Barangay Taberna that allows the kids and their parents familiarize the different Solid Waste Management Programs and Machines that are used in the Municipality.

This wholesome, fun and unforgettable experience for the kids and parents was very successful with the help of the partnered departments, the MENRO, ECCD Teachers & Bantay Dagat.

May this program help young minds appreciate and be proactive on nature and marine conservation, that makes our Municipality more progressive and sustainable for the future generations to come.

Everyone had an amazing time during our Nature and Marine Biodiversity Walk! From discovering unique coastal ecosystems to learning about the incredible species that call them home, it was a day filled with learning, appreciation, and connection with the natural world.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—your curiosity and enthusiasm made it unforgettable!
