The fierce volcano needs to be protected, too.
“Albay 3rd District Representative Fernando Gonzales has filed a bill to create a Mayon Volcano Natural Park (MVNP) to formalize the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act that will give necessary protection to the famous volcano,” reports Niño N. Luces in the Manila Bulletin.
Under the bill, Gonzales said, a Protected Areas Management Board (PAMB) will be created. Once that’s done, the government can allocate a budget for its management operations.
