𝙂𝙇𝘼𝙉, 𝙎𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 | Around 500 fruit-bearing seedlings, 2 units of AquaSafe water filters, and 700 tablets of Aquatabs water purifiers were distributed by the Provincial Government of Sarangani, through the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO), to residents of Sitio Lanao Banwang and Sitio Lanao Kapanglao in Barangay Datal Bukay, Glan, during the Ronda Probinsya sa Barangay.

Under the leadership of Governor Rogelio D. Pacquiao, in collaboration with the Municipal Government of Glan led by Mayor Victor James Yap, Sr., the initiative formed part of the provincial government’s continuing efforts to bring essential services and development programs closer to communities in remote areas.

The distribution of fruit-bearing seedlings sought to encourage agroforestry among residents while contributing to biodiversity conservation, improving vegetation cover, and providing potential sources of food for local households.

Alongside the seedlings, PENRO provided one AquaSafe water filter in partnership with the Planet Water Foundation for each sitio to support residents’ access to safe drinking water, complementing the mission’s broader delivery of services to underserved communities.

The Provincial Government of Sarangani, through the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO), joins the celebration of World Migratory Bird Day 2026, highlighting the importance of protecting migratory birds and the habitats they depend on throughout their journey.

Migratory birds play an important role in maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity. Protecting wetlands, coastal areas, and other natural habitats helps provide safe resting, feeding, and breeding grounds for these species.

𝙎𝘼𝙍𝘼𝙉𝙂𝘼𝙉𝙄 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 — Field validation of coastal features in selected areas of Sarangani is being conducted by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) to verify and assess the extent of coastal uplift following the recent magnitude 7.8 earthquake, as part of its Coastal Resource Mapping and Assessment (CRMA) Project on September 21–22, 2026.

Coverage included Batulaki, Small Margus, Gumasa, Taluya, and Glan Padidu in the Municipality of Glan, as well as Barangay Tuyan in Malapatan, where NAMRIA personnel conducted on-site data gathering and verification to document changes in coastal features and update existing regional coastal resource information.

NAMRIA personnel For. Saldivar B. Asprit, Michelle Tania Marie D. Perdido, and Christopher Diondel S. Duque carried out the fieldwork with support from two DENR Protected Area Management Office (PAMO) personnel and two Provincial Local Government Unit of Sarangani Environment and Natural Resources Office staff.

The team utilized geospatial technologies, including the Field Map Web application, aerial drone imagery, and handheld GPS receivers, to formally document observed coastal uplift, update existing coastal resource mapping datasets, and generate baseline information for disaster risk reduction, environmental management, and strategic planning.

Data gathered through the validation will help improve the accuracy of regional maps and resource databases while providing updated references for assessing coastal changes, planning appropriate interventions, and strengthening the sustainable management of Sarangani’s coastal areas.

The field activity also highlights the collaboration among NAMRIA, DENR-PAMO, and PLGU-ENRO in strengthening field-based data gathering and resource documentation, particularly in assessing coastal changes that may have implications for disaster preparedness, conservation, and coastal resource management.

𝙂𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙇 𝙎𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙊𝙎 𝘾𝙄𝙏𝙔 | The Regular Mt. Latian Technical Working Group (TWG) Consultation Workshop convened concerned government agencies, local government units, and stakeholders at Greenleaf Hotel, General Santos City, on October 29, 2026, to discuss key concerns and management interventions for the conservation and sustainable management of the Mt. Latian Complex.

Spanning portions of Regions 11 and 12, the Mt. Latian Complex is among the major mountain ranges extending across Davao Occidental and Sarangani. Its Sarangani portion covers approximately 92,623 hectares, encompassing the municipalities of Glan, Malapatan, Alabel, and Malungon.

The complex supports diverse flora and fauna, including species of conservation importance such as critically endangered plants, vulnerable wildlife, and various bird species. It has also been recognized as a Key Bird Area by BirdLife International and a Key Biodiversity Area by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Its ecological importance prompted the issuance of Executive Order No. 41, Series of 2023, which established the Mt. Latian Taskforce and TWG and outlined their respective composition, duties, and functions.

The consultation provided an avenue for participating agencies, local government units, and stakeholders to share updates, deliberate on concerns affecting the complex and strengthen coordination in implementing appropriate management measures.

Through sustained consultation and inter-agency collaboration, the Mt. Latian Taskforce and TWG continue to support efforts to protect the complex’s biodiversity while promoting its responsible and sustainable management for future generations.

PENRO-LGU Sarangani joins the observance of 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, highlighting the importance of protecting coral reefs and sustaining the marine ecosystems that support biodiversity, coastal communities, and livelihoods.

Coral bleaching occurs when corals become stressed by prolonged changes in sea temperature, causing them to expel the algae that provide their color and much of their energy. While bleached corals are not necessarily dead, prolonged stress can weaken reefs and affect the marine life that depends on them.

This month, let us deepen our understanding of coral reef ecosystems and strengthen our commitment to their protection. Reducing marine pollution, practicing responsible tourism, and supporting coastal conservation efforts are among the ways we can help keep our reefs healthy and resilient.
