Marine Ecology Project (ECOM) on Cebu Island. (Philippines, Asia)
Living on the Island of Cebu in Asia. (The entrance of a third couple of protagonists)
KeiSky, as a young man, lived humbly on private land near a place called Pearl City. An unknown city in the south of Cebu Island that lies at the end of the Great River.
The key importance of living in Pearl City is that he has a Crescent shoreline facing northwest. 'The city of Pearls', as Pearl City is known: it is the safest place in the south of Cebu Island.
A bit of cross-cultural history.
Protected by an ancient superior deity, who according to legend: formed the mountain to protect that land from calamity and the four inferior deities (will we delve into this later?) Then the neighboring island was formed which also has protection from the deities.
KeiSky loves to travel; he really enjoys climbing the mountain 'which has impressive sunsets', as seen from his room.
He also likes the white Pacific coast in the north, 'brimming with colorful seabeds and crystal clear waters', the City Pearl seabed is dark (And shall we know why?)
The Ecological Work.
From a very young age, KeiSky has participated in protecting the mangroves that are the pride of the city of Pearls. The mangroves: They are home to a unique native crab in the area, native oysters, elusive shrimp and other delicious crustaceans and mollusks that inhabit the mangrove.
When he was 18 years old, his relatives in Cebu: They suggested that he take her to study.
For KeiSky's way of thinking: Cebu is a large city due to constant international trade, which is a daily chore, and this interaction allows meeting tourists from other countries and, consequently, people from other cultures.
KeiSky, left the beloved place of origin in the mountains to live in the big city on the coast, this took many years; to finally graduate from a prestigious and highly recognized university.
The Homecoming.
Although, his heart never stopped longing: returning to his homeland.
"When she had to be responsible for the family business," she was surprised to discover that her beloved town was modernized:
- The historic building from the Spanish period was demolished and the only memory of it is on display in the new Town Hall.
- The old hospital is just a building,
- the cemetery is nowhere to be found,
- the Christian school is modernized,
- that old elegant street that has this Spanish atmosphere is gone,
- the cinema is now a storage place.
The only places that remained are the Church, the Tourism building, the Police Station and the Park (which has a major modernization).
The Problem of Pollution.
KeiSky. Angry, she climbed the Ilijan hill for the first time, she noticed that the paving laid by the locals is new and she was brought into the city from mountains above.
The mangroves also decreased and the footpath in the park disappeared, the artificial fall disappeared, and even those pesky monkeys.
Seeing a completely new place, she "decided to continue the research that she started when she was in high school"; she financed an agricultural field and built a strong pillar for that purpose; she then she went on a week-long expedition to the places she loved the most.
The crystal clear waters are still there, but the sea lost its coral glow. The dense forest is now spacious, the eagles are much smaller than the crows and are also in decline elsewhere even in 'Punongs', oyster farming is now declining due to contamination with crabs, shrimp and other shellfish, the Black sand beach is now infested with jellyfish, and you can see them dead on the shoreline and the rivers are now very shallow. What happened? Or is it still happening?
In this context, through the Marine Ecology Project (ECOM); she partnered with the mayor of the city (after all, the city of Pearl is small) and money is not an issue in the Sky family.
With the ECOM Project:
(1) The shoreline and beaches are cleaned in the hope that the turtles will return as they control the jellyfish population.
(2) Rivers are cleaned and dug by removing fallen trees underwater to deepen the river,
(3) The school's research made a program to populate the corals, even on the neighboring island.
(4) Agriculture now has a built pillar that supports farms in the city's mountains and agricultural areas, also supporting fishing in rivers and lagoons.
(5) Hunters in the area are now registered with the government and can only hunt on the orders of farmers to keep farms and other bird species safe from overpopulation, even helping endangered wildlife to be trafficked across borders .
(6) This move helps Pearl City appear on the map, altering the name or riginal of the city, which has the city of Pearl outside its jurisdiction.
Environmental Problem: Corruption.
That said, the only problem is that the mangrove waters are not improving yet, the rivers are still not as fresh as before.
Sailing upriver: 'he sighted the source of contamination', finding a denatured connection with illegal mining.
The mountains of the city of pearls are rich in minerals such as: gold, magnesium, small amounts of iron, silver, copper and gravel is abundant, which is of greater value than gold. Due to its great demand in the market of growing cities for the construction of buildings.
When you come to witness the site with polluted waters running down the river, you can't help but feel like you want to fight, however: You can't confront them directly, as they carry firearms.
Having seen these limitations: He filed cases and hired investigators who only targeted the City that was once the Pearl's Capital.
The government is as corrupt as before. KeiSky, presented the case with concrete evidence of having violated the law, which is why she: she was fired from her, although she was paid for her service time. KeiSky continues.The pending and most concentrated reason in these cases: is that the mining site, located on a private land owned by the Oy Latro family.
