Today, on World Water Day, the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) Siquijor led a collaborative effort to rejuvenate Capilay Spring, in partnership with the Municipal Local Government of San Juan and various other agencies including the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), and Philippine National Police (PNP), along with youth/work immersion students from Siquijor State College (SSC).

The event commenced with a warm welcome address from the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Officer (MENRO) Wilson Larot, Jr., expressing gratitude for PENRO Siquijor's initiative in rejuvenating Capilay Spring. Following this, PDO II Ryd Banguis provided a brief rationale, highlighting the importance of rejuvenating Capilay Spring every two years to preserve its natural beauty. He also shed light on the significance of celebrating World Water Day.

CMEMP Focal Cristy Ann Ricaborda then acknowledged the participants and provided orientation on the specific areas designated for each agency. The collaborative effort proved to be successful, contributing significantly to the preservation of our natural resources. World Water Day serves as a reminder of the importance of water conservation and sustainable management practices. Through initiatives like the Capilay Spring rejuvenation, communities come together to safeguard this precious resource for future generations.

As we reflect on the significance of World Water Day, let us renew our commitment to protecting our water sources and ensuring access to clean and safe water for all. Together, we can make a positive impact on the health of our planet and the well-being of our communities.
