GASAN, Marinduque, April 22 (PIA) -- As part of the Earth Month, the Department of Energy and Natural Resources (DENR) Marinduque Provincial Office gave a lecture on Solid Waste Management and Climate Change Mitigation held at the conference hall of the municipality of Gasan last April 18.


There were two participants for each of the 25 barangays of Gasan in the seminar. The lecture was followed by a Coastal Clean-up at the Bay walk along Barangay Uno, Dos, and Tres by the participants, joined by other municipal employees.  
Athletes seeing action in the 2012 Palarong Pambansa are set to arrive in Lingayen, Pangasinan starting April 27.


The municipality of Mogpog also participated in this celebration with a Coastal Clean-up by the municipal employees and students of the Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES) on April 20 at Barangay Ulong.  
Verna Nava Perez, chair of the Palarong Pambansa, said athletes of Region 4B (Mindoro Marinduque Romblon and Palawan region) already arrived earlier and are now billeted at the Tandoc Elementary School in San Carlos City.


Marinduque regularly celebrates April 22 as Earth Day, which began in 2008 through the late President Corazon Aquino's Proclamation 1481. The province is being envisioned by its provincial government to become the new Agri-tourist destination. (LBR/MNL-PIA4B -Marnduque)
President Benigno  Aquino III will be the guest of honor and speaker during the opening program of the Palarong Pambansa on May 7 at the Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center.

The last time Pangasinan hosted the Palarong Pambansa was in 1995, or 17 years ago.

Tonisito Umali, DepEd Assistant Secretary, said members of the Philippine football team, Azkals, are expected to be at the opening ceremonies to provide motivation and inspiration to the athletes.
 
The general schedule includes the screening of athletes on April 28; refresher course for technical officials, May 4; and solidarity meeting in the morning and a Holy Mass at 5 p.m. to be officiated by Archbishop Socrates Villegas on May 5.
 
There will be Governor's Night at 6:30 pm of May 5 to be hosted by Governor Amado Espino Jr.
