COMPOSTELA VALLEY PROVINCE----- An ordinance declaring July 22 of 2012 and every year thereafter as Nature’s Day of the Province of Compostela Valley is approved by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) lead by Vice Governor Ramil L. Gentugaya.

Provincial Ordinance No. 09, Series of 2012 authored by SP Member Moran B. Takasan, is an ordinance complementing to Governor Arturo T. Uy’s advocacy of making ComVal as the Greenest and Most Environment-Friendly Province in the country.

It is unanimously approved by the SP members, during their 91st Regular Session, who believe that a sound environment is everybody’s concern.

With this, in the aim of maintaining a balanced ecology, the province constituents are enjoined to participate to the different activities and programs concerning environmental protection such as tree planting, riverbank and lakeside protection, coastal water clean-up including that of the ocean floor area, and other environmental care concepts.  (grace almedilla, ids-comval)
