Fishing and engaging with local fishermen and listening to their stories and the challenges of balancing sustainability of livelihood and the environment.

Some of the older fishermen do indeed remember the Dugongs but they have said that since the building of certain factories and infrastructure by the coast, they have not been seen since. They say the last sightings were in 1999 going against the official last sighting in 2024

The Philippines stands as the second most biodiverse seagrass habitat globally, trailing only Western Australia. Our waters host 18 distinct species; notably, three of the Dugong’s favorite food sources are found in abundance across Bataan’s coastal ecosystems. This is specifically true in Mariveles, Bagac, and Limay. These meadows transform the province into a critical sanctuary, anchoring Bataan’s strategic role in national marine conservation.

Hope to see the Dugongs back in Bataan!Happy to see them healthy in Gensan!

Did you know? The Dugong holds a prestigious place in Philippine legal history: it was the first marine mammal ever to be protected by law in the country. In 1991, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) issued Administrative Order No. 55, which specifically targeted the protection of dugongs due to their rapid decline. This landmark legislation paved the way for the later protection of dolphins, whales, and the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape

Meeting with Department of Information and communications Technology (DICT) and Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) on project AGOS or the AI for Growth Opportunity and Sustainability for the overseas Filipino workers.

This matters in nurturing livelihoods, in Region III alone has 34,000 + OFWs (2025) with Bataan having a lion share of around 26,795 (2023 numbers). 72% of Bataan OFW’s are male which gives us insights into how to nurture people in order to protect the environment

Ever wondered how the "Sea Cow" made it to the Philippine archipelago? Unlike the Austronesian people who migrated from the north (Taiwan), the Dugong is a southern traveler with an epic history spanning 50 million years.

The story begins in the Tethys Sea (the ancient body of water between Africa and Europe) about 50 million years ago. While some of their cousins headed west to become Manatees in the Americas, the ancestors of the Dugong headed east along the coastlines of Africa and India.

The Dugongs used the "Sulawesi-Sulu Bridge." Because they are benthic (bottom) feeders, they followed the shallow continental shelves of Indonesia and Australia, "island hopping" through the Sulu Archipelago and the Palawan chain. Currently, Australia holds the largest number of Dugongs in the world at around 160,000.

As the Philippine islands rose and seagrass meadows stabilized thousands of years ago, the Dugong found its version of paradise. They moved northward, following the clear, shallow waters along the West Philippine Sea until they discovered the sheltered, nutrient-rich "pocket coves" of the Bataan Peninsula.

Guarding the youth and sickly is an essential part of protecting the environment.

We have to remember PEOPLE protect the environment. Institutions, rules, laws etc dont matter if the people are insecure.
