Dili na nato mahimo nga kita ra sa munisipyo jud. We need the barangays and the purok to achieve the objectives.” (What I hope for from every barangay is for them to become constant active partners, as they have always been, in taking care of our mother nature. The local government unit cannot achieve it alone. We need the barangays and the zone to achieve the objectives.”
During the ceremony, mowers were also provided to Barangays Alae, Damilag, Mampayag and Dahilayan from the Tourism Ecological Fee collections as a way of helping these Barangays maintain their clean and green projects as main roadway to Dahilayan Tourism sites.
