The Baguio Country Club donated P1 million to help fund environment preservation and protection programs of the city government.
BCC General Manager Anthony R. de Leon handed the check to Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong during the flag raising ceremony at City Hall grounds last Monday.
De Leon said the city government will be assured of continuous support in various forms to help in efforts to sustain the preservation and protection of the city’s environment.
One of the present administration’s 15-point collective agenda is the revitalization of the environment to sustain the growth of the city tourism industry as the city’s cool weather condition is its natural pull for domestic and foreign tourists to frequent the city.
De Leon said this objective needs a consolidated effort by working to increase the forest cover and intensify the campaign to reduce the air pollutants, especially in the central business district.
Magalong thanked the BCC management for the donation.
The mayor said several groups have pledged to support the interventions of concerned government agencies and the city government for the improvement of the city’s environment. – PIO release
