    Day 4 of Pawikan Environmental Forum Reaches Students in Balanga, Pilar, and Orion

    The province-wide Pawikan Environmental Forum continued last November 20, 2025, reaching more young learners at Tortugas Integrated School in the City of Balanga, Balut Elementary School in Municipality of Pilar, and Capunitan Elementary School in Municipality of Orion.
    With every new community the program reaches, we continue to raise awareness and inspire shared responsibility for the protection of Bataan’s marine resources, especially our beloved Pawikan.
    We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the school heads, teachers, students, and our dedicated partners who supported the activity. Your cooperation helps drive the success of our conservation efforts. Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat!
    Together, let us help save the Pawikan!
