Subic has monthlong Earth Day celebration

By ANTHONY BAYARONG
The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority and its Ecology Center are holding a monthlong celebration in observance of Earth Day on April 22.

Ameth de la Llana, manager of the SBMA Ecology Center, said the celebration will educate everyone about the protection of Subic’s natural environment despite economic zone’s continued development.

Among the activities are an acoustic concert at the famous Subic boardwalk, a junk art contest, a photo contest, a body-painting contest, a garden show, a dog show, mural painting and an ethnic-dance competition.

Armand C. Arreza, administrator of the SBMA, said the celebration is a way to promote awareness among residents and investors of Subic Bay Freeport.

Arreza also explained that besides the strategic location, the port, the airport and the competitive fees, investors also consider the natural surroundings of Subic, which the SBMA has preserved through strict implementation of regulations.

Earth Day has been celebrated worldwide for over 30 years to increase awareness about environmental issues. It began in the United States, and coincides with a tree-planting holiday there called Arbor Day.
