00:49 It is very important that we give importance to the environment

00:53 and to conservation.

00:56 I have said that the culture of conservation must go hand in hand

01:00 with the culture of tourism.

01:16 No small act is ever wasted.

01:18 We should help conserve our environment, our coastal resources

01:25 by picking up any piece of trash that you can see along the coastline

01:29 or under the sea for that matter.

01:31 This is by no means for this day alone.

01:33 This is the work that is being done by our mayors,

01:38 our local officials all over the Philippines on a regular basis.

01:42 In the local government of Lapu-Lapu, they are committed to doing this.

01:46 We have an ordinance that the tourists should not simply throw their trash in the sea.

01:56 Our pamboats, our tourists, they have their own garbage cans, bags.

02:04 When they return, they will inspect if they have trash or not.

02:08 The mayor also gave the need for discipline in the conservation of the environment.
