27 Years of Conservation: Celebrating Our Legacy by Giving Back to Partner Communities

January 21, 2025, Cordova, Cebu – As part of the Coastal Conservation and Education Foundation’s (CCEF) 27th Anniversary celebrations, a donation ceremony was held in Cordova, highlighting the enduring partnership between CCEF and the Municipality of Cordova. For many years, Cordova has been a steadfast ally in championing coastal conservation and sustainable resource management, and this collaboration continues to bring impactful initiatives to the community.

In partnership with Manulife Business Processing Services (MBPS) through their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, CCEF donated 50 pairs of rain boots and 107 pairs of heavy-duty gloves to support the hardworking fisherfolk and community workers of Cordova.

These essential items were formally accepted by Cordova Vice Mayor Hon. Victor S. Tago III, SB Member Hon. Lemuel W. Pogoy, members of the Fisherfolk Organization in Day-as, and representatives from the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO), including Mr. Fred Anlocotan and Mr. Vincent Benitez, as well as the Coastal Resource Management Office (CRMO), represented by Municipal Fisheries Technician Ms. Mildred R. Uy.

The ceremony was also attended by Atty. Leonides A. Ator, the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator (MPDC) of Cordova, who expressed heartfelt gratitude for the continuous support from CCEF and its partners.

CCEF’s 27th Anniversary is more than just a milestone—it is a celebration of its unwavering commitment to coastal conservation and its mission to empower communities like Cordova. For over two decades, CCEF has worked hand in hand with Cordova to implement programs that safeguard marine biodiversity and improve the livelihoods of those who depend on the sea. As we look to the future, CCEF remains steadfast in its goal to inspire action and conserve our marine ecosystems. Together with our partners, we will continue to create lasting impact for the environment and the communities that depend on it.
