DENR Region 6 Regional Director Francisco Milla Jr. inked two separate Memoranda of Agreements (MOAs) with Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas for the creations of two eco-parks here.
“Iloilo City is indeed a vibrant and liveable city. It is not just rich in culture, but also with its coastal and marine resources,” said Milla.
Among the two eco-parks is the 35-hectare forestland area in Barangay Hinactacan in La Paz district. Dubbed as “Eco Park 2,” the project will showcase the natural mangrove forests in this city as a social laboratory for marine and other wildlife management researches.
