Meet Davao’s ‘Watershed Warriors’

They’re young, intelligent, committed — and they have the world on their shoulders.

Starting ‘Em Young. Using a net, these two children try to catch some fish and clean up some debris at the Malagos dam during the youth camp. Apart from having fun, they were taught how to help protect the city’s watershed, which is being abused both by humans and companies. (davaotoday.com photo by Alberto P. Egot Jr.)

   It is nice to have such watershed warriors but the problem is, the are government is fool enough and dull to regulate such cases (plantation expansion) It is because of the majic word “MONEY” or ” PROFIT”

   Hahahay hanggang program nalang tau nito walang tunay na aksyun!

   you did a good job guys! you’re a great example! i hope that the government will also support this project. there is only small percentage ( 3% ? ) of drinkable water in the earth. we have to help and love our mother earth, it is too polluted already. time will come there is no more potable water left. Ipadayon ang maayong buhat!

   It’s very nice to know jud na some of the youths nowadays are involved in this kind of activities. Na instead sa mga other hidden agenda sila maging active diba? hidden agenda like, involvement sa mga bad influences. at tsaka, young palang aware na and nagbibigay importansya sa ating kalikasan…!!!
   That’s good guys! you are really doing the right thing, and you are really proving that you love God, kasi your doing your responsibility as stewards of God’s Creation… -she-21,hcdc#09203261028
