GUMASA, Sarangani
(May 20, 2013) - Wireless leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has once
again partnered with the provincial government of Sarangani for this year’s
Sarangani Bay Run for the Environment.
The fun run, which
was organized by the Sarangani provincial government, is one of the highlights
of the annual Sarangani Bay Festival.
The run, which Smart
is supporting for the second straight year, will help protect and conserve
marine resources in Sarangani Bay and Davao Gulf. Proceeds will fund WWF
conservation and climate change adaptation projects in Mindanao, as well as the
initiatives of Spectrum - a consortium of non-government organizations (NGOs)
based in the region.
“We are proud to be
part of this worthwhile undertaking.
This is not just a fun run to celebrate the Sarangani Bay Festival but
also a call to the public to help in efforts to protect and conserve the marine
biodiversity in the region,” said Atty. Maria Jane Paredes, head of Smart Public
Affairs in Visayas and Mindanao.
The run will be held on
March 24 at Gumasa, Glan, Sarangani, home to the famous beach in the
southernmost part of the country.
The Sarangani provincial
government has been holding the Sarangani Bay Festival since 2006 and activities
like the Run for the Environment are in line with its goal to protect and
promote the bay and the sea creatures that thrive in those waters.
Sarangani Bay is a
230-km stretch of shoreline that is not only a major source of seafood but is
also a fast-rising center of marine eco-tourism in the country.
