ミンダナオ北部のカラガ地方で、気候変動の影響を抑制するプロジェクトが開始される。その名も「One Million Malunggay（100万本のマルンガイ）」プロジェクト。マルンガイは栄養価に優れたスーパーフードの一種であり、現在は国の野菜として認定されている。
このプロジェクトの具体的な実行を目指すため、環境天然資源省（以下DENR）は高等教育委員会（以下CHED）との了解覚書を締結した。DENRカラガ地方長官Nonito M. Tamayo氏は、ブトゥアン市バランガイ（最小行政区）にあるカラガ州立大学のヒーロー講堂で、George M. Colorado博士率いるCHEDと了解覚書に署名した。
「気候変動を抑制すること。周辺環境に緑を取り戻すこと。そしてコミュニティがマルンガイの木とその健康への恩恵に、より簡単にアクセスできるようにすることを主目的とする」とTamayo氏は語り、以下のように加えた。「Hindi lang pangkalusugan ang bigay nito, pang kalikasan pa（健康だけでなく、環境のためにもなる）」。
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
