GATE, MVPinkMOU for Lingayen Gulf clean up

Lingayen- - -The provincial government of Pangasinan under the stewardship of Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. has recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Metro Pacific Investments Foundation, Inc. (MPIF) chaired by Manuel V. Pangilinan  for the implementation of coastal and underwater clean-up campaign for the Lingayen Gulf.Gov. Espino hailed the   project of the foundation dubbed, “Shore-it-Up: Rescue, Restore, Revive  campaign,” as he said that this will serve as a vital support to the Lingayen Gulf Rehabilitation program which is an existing scheme of the provincial government to help revive and regain the natural beauty of the Lingayen Gulf and other waterways in Pangasinan.It can be recalled that the present administration launched the rehabilitation program in 2009 that initially led to the clearing and cleaningof the Lingayen Gulf as well as the various river tributaries.The program has gainfully earned several awards and citations for its environmental and tourism impact.Ma. Luisa A. Elduayan, Tourism Division Chief, said that the highlight of the local government commitment will focus on the manpower requirement and coordinating support during activities and projects of the foundation.Activities for the Shore It Up- Lingayen Gulf Project include the following: Coordinating/Planning Meeting (August 9 and 10), Giant Clam Rearrangement at Hundred Islands in Alaminos City with diving and mangrove planting activities (August 24), and Lingayen Coastal Clean-ups and Environmental Seminar for Children (August 25).The City Government of Alaminos led by Mayor Arthur F. Celeste also signed a MOU, along with other towns and provinces in the country with MPIF.MPIF is a non-stock, non-profit corporation principally engaged in infrastructure projects in the country.Shore It Up campaign is now on its fifth year of implementation.Aside from coastal and underwater clean-up, the campaign likewise involves the conduct of environmental awareness sessions, tree planting activities, waste segregation, and installation of artificial reefs.
