00:05is joined by Javelio Z. Parr, Environmental Management Specialist II of the Philippine Reclamation Authority

00:12and Engineer Albert T. Tayabas, Environmental Specialist A of the Philippine Reclamation Authority.

00:18Good afternoon to you all and welcome to the new Philippines.

00:23Good afternoon.

00:26Good afternoon, ma'am.

00:27Good afternoon.

00:29For Sir Javelio, can you share with us the participation of the Philippine Reclamation Authority

00:38in the International Coastal Cleanup 2024?

00:41What are the other details about this?

00:45The Philippine Reclamation Authority participated in the four municipalities of Cavite.

00:53We counted Ternate in Barangay Bucana, Tanza in Barangay Hulugan Ocho,

01:00Nait in Barangay Bucana Malaki, and Marugondon in Barangay Patuan.

01:05And one of them is in Las Piñas, Paranaque Wetland Park, or known as Lalawapa now.

01:11So, the number of participants reached more than 3,000 in all of Cavite.

01:19And in Las Piñas, more than 100 participated in the Philippine Reclamation.

01:26And the Philippine Reclamation Authority, as a help to the municipalities or to this activity,

01:32also provided materials for cleaning, such as latex rubber gloves, sacks,

01:39lighters, and meals and refreshments for our volunteers here.

01:45That's it.

01:47Okay, Sir Giavellio, how were the six sites chosen for this Coastal Cleanup Program?

01:56And what specific activities were done by the Philippine Reclamation Authority for these sites?

02:04The Philippine Reclamation Authority chose the four municipalities of Cavite

02:10as a part of a project, or they are the major impacts of the project of SNS to Nicola Shoal of PRA.

02:19And in Las Piñas, Paranaque Wetland Park, the PRA has been cleaning for a long time,

02:24or has been joining these activities, especially for environmental concerns.

02:31So, for history, in 2010, the PRA started joining the cleanups.

02:38And in 2022, the PRA also joined in providing or helping in cleaning in Cavite.

02:45And the projects here are the International Coastal Cleanup,

02:50collecting different types of waste from coastlines.

02:54So, there are domestic waste, industrial waste, agricultural waste, marine debris.

03:01So, all of these were collected in this activity.

03:07And there are also details of how many kilos of PRA was collected per municipality.

03:14I have a question for Engineer Tayabas.

03:17For our countrymen to understand,

03:19why are our coastal areas now considered a critical ecosystem?

03:30Engineer Tayabas?

03:31Good afternoon.

03:34According to studies, the Philippines is one of the countries

03:40that produces or produces plastic emissions in our coastal areas.

03:45So, for now, marine litter is a big issue in our area.

03:52So, this is what we will do,

03:55this environmental awareness to resolve issues such as marine litter.

04:01Okay.

04:02Engineer Tayabas, what are the other environmental threats

04:07that our coastal areas are facing in the country?

04:14Aside from marine litter,

04:17there are many environmental threats,

04:20such as humidification,

04:26coastal flooding along the coastal communities.

04:30Those are some of the environmental threats for our countrymen.

04:35Okay.

04:36Sir Javelio, how important is the participation of local communities

04:41in the efforts of the government to take care of the coastal ecosystem of the country?

04:51One of the things is to raise awareness among people,

04:56especially among children.

04:59So, if we can start this from a young age,

05:04and for the people now,

05:07raising awareness of cleanliness can help the coastal communities,

05:11and not just for them, but for the whole country.

05:18Okay, for Engineer Tayabas,

05:20what are the efforts and steps of the Philippine Reclamation Authority

05:26to ensure the sustainability of your coastal conservation efforts

05:31after your participation in the International Coastal Clean-Up?

05:41Aside from our coastal clean-ups in coastal communities

05:47and other water bodies,

05:50we also carry out environmental programs

05:53in the municipalities of Cavite,

05:57such as Environmental Awareness on Solid Waste Management.

06:01We also carry out environmental monitoring stations,

06:06particularly, we monitor the water quality and air quality

06:10in the stations as part of our projects.

06:15Currently, we have an SNS project.

06:18We have monitoring stations there

06:20that monitor environmental conditions

06:23such as water quality and air quality.

06:27Okay.

06:28Thank you very much for your time,
