  • WVSU DagYoung Student Ambassadors mark International Coastal Clean-UP with Tigbauan turtle nest protection drive

    WVSU DagYoung Student Ambassadors mark International Coastal Clean-UP with Tigbauan turtle nest protection drive

    TIGBAUAN, Iloilo – The shores of Barangay Atabayan became the center of environmental action today, September 20, as volunteers gathered for a coastal clean-up drive under the Sanctuarium Maris: Sea Turtle Nest Protection Project.

    The initiative was spearheaded by the West Visayas State University (WVSU) DagYoung Student Ambassadors in partnership with the Positive Youth Development Network (PYDN), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Young Journalists’ Society (YJS), and the Development Communicators’ Society. They were joined by barangay officials, the Sangguniang Kabataan, women’s groups, 4Ps beneficiaries, and the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO).

    This project, funded by the Embassy of France to the Philippines and Micronesia, is driven by the student ambassadors, a university-recognized internationalization arm of WVSU International and Local Linkages Office.

    Since its launch in January 2025, the Sanctuarium Maris project has organized training sessions and workshops on sea turtle biology, conservation protocols, and rescue procedures for stranded or injured turtles. Activities also featured artificial nest net-making, a simulation of turtle nest protection, and a workshop on drafting environmental ordinances.

    The WVSU College of Law played a key role in guiding the community in crafting legal measures, which culminated in the passage of Barangay Atabayan Ordinance No. 2025-004, “An Ordinance Creating a Sea Turtle Nest Protection Program, Providing Guidelines for Conservation and Appropriating Funds Thereof.” This ordinance, now legally in force, strengthens local efforts to protect sea turtle nesting grounds in Tigbauan.

    Coinciding with the global observance of International Coastal Clean-Up Day, the activity further reinforced Tigbauan’s commitment to marine conservation and community-driven environmental protection.

  • New ordinance shield Turtle Nesting Grounds in Tigbauan; DagYoung Student Ambassadors’ Project gains ground

    New ordinance shield Turtle Nesting Grounds in Tigbauan; DagYoung Student Ambassadors’ Project gains ground

    In a strong affirmation of grassroots-led environmental protection, the Sangguniang Bayan of Tigbauan passed a resolution declaring Barangay Atabayan Ordinance No. 2025-004, “An Ordinance Creating a Sea Turtle Nest Protection Program, Providing Guidelines for Conservation and Appropriating Funds Thereof”, as legal and valid.

    The resolution, sponsored by Hon. Adrian Camposagrado and motioned by Hon. Marlon R. Terunez, Chair of the Committee on Rules, Ordinances, and Resolutions, earned the full support of the council. The ordinance strengthens local conservation efforts to safeguard sea turtle nesting sites in Barangay Atabayan, an identified breeding ground of the olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea).

    Legal Basis and Review Process

    Pursuant to Section 447 of the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160), the Sangguniang Bayan holds the authority to review barangay ordinances to ensure compliance with legal and procedural requirements. Barangay Atabayan first endorsed its draft ordinance for review in May 2025, but due to technical inconsistencies, it was referred back to the barangay.

    On August 13, 2025, the revised ordinance was resubmitted and thoroughly reviewed by the Committee on Rules, Ordinances, and Resolutions. The committee found the ordinance consistent with Section 391 of the Local Government Code, which empowers barangays to enact measures that promote the general welfare, prescribe penalties for violations, and undertake other functions mandated by law.

    Anchored on National Environmental Laws

    The resolution further recognized that the ordinance aligns with Republic Act No. 9147 or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act, which mandates the safeguarding of vulnerable species, including marine turtles. Barangay Atabayan, identified as a vital nesting ground for the olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), has faced threats such as poaching, pollution, and habitat loss.

    Community-Led Conservation Effort

    Barangay Captain Edison Camiña and the members of the Barangay Council emphasized that the ordinance strengthens the local government’s role in protecting marine biodiversity. The initiative complements the Sanctuarium Maris: Sea Turtle Nest Protection Project, launched in January 2025 by West Visayas State University (WVSU) DagYoung Student Ambassadors, in partnership with the Positive Youth Development Network (PYDN), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Young Journalists’ Society (YJS) and the Development Communicators’ Society,

    The project, funded by the Embassy of France to the Philippines and Micronesia, underscores the power of community-university partnerships in advancing conservation and sustainability.

    Final Action of the Sangguniang Bayan

    With no objections raised during the third and final reading, the Sangguniang Bayan formally resolved to declare Barangay Ordinance No. 2025-004 legal and valid, directing copies of the resolution to be furnished to Municipal Mayor Atty. Virgilio T. Teruel, the Liga ng mga Barangay, and Barangay Atabayan for proper information and action.

    A step Toward Lasting Conservation

    This move marks a milestone for Tigbauan’s local governance and environmental stewardship. By institutionalizing sea turtle nest protection through legislation, Barangay Atabayan sets an example of how community-driven conservation efforts, backed by legal measures, can ensure the survival of vulnerable marine species for generations to come.
