ALAMINOS–A Japanese firm in the Philippines celebrated its ninth anniversary here by turning over a five-hectare mangrove park it established in the Hundred Islands National Park here.

Isuzu Philippines Corporation led by its president Yoshifumi Komura turned over the mangrove park including thousands of mangrove propagules to Alaminos City Mayor Hernani Braganza and members of the city council.

Also turned over by Komora were environmental signage to be installed in the Governor, Quezon and Children’s Island of the Hundred Islands.

This was a continuation of the company’s tradition of observing its anniversary by conducting socially responsible activities for local communities, Komura said.

“We all know the important role mangroves play in protecting the coastal areas against erosion and against storm surges,” Komora said during the turnover ceremony held at the Hundred Islands administration building at Lucap.

Mangroves also nurture flora and fauna to maintain the health of the local eco-systems. They are especially important in preserving the physical condition and beauty of the Hundred Islands, Komora said.
