Giant clamps, other marine life thrive in Jasaan
The first seeding of these giant clamps was in 2002 when his prececessor entered into a partnership with the Marine Biology Agency of the University of the Philippines based in Pangasinan.
More than 500 species of giant clamps were seeded at Agutayan White Island and later on became the municipality's marine life sanctuary.
The coastal waters of this town also serve as the breeding ground of the different species of fish and other sea creatures.
“Lo and behold almost 20 years had passed these small clamps have already grown more than a foot in diameter,” Jardin said, adding that having the giant clamps and various species of marine life living around the Agutayan White Island is an indicator that the marine resources thrive in the area and that the place is not pristine and clean.

MisOr LGU urges residents to save up for COVID-19 vaccine
MISAMIS ORIENTAL, Dec. 2 (PIA)--With the worldwide news circulating on the availability of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 vaccine, Misamis Oriental Provincial Inter-Agency Task Force (PIATF) chief Dr. Jerie P. Calingasan urges residents of the province to "save some for their health."
"The vaccines will be coming out, as it had been reported in the middle of December. I am looking forward to buying for ourselves, and we must not depend on the government that it will be given for free. That is why I said save some for our health” said Calingasan during the virtual flag-raising ceremony, December 1 at Provincial Capitol.
Calingasan said the news on the discovery of the vaccine is the ultimate hope during this pandemic and while people are mainly concerned on cost and quality, the doctor primarily considers safety, value saving and effectiveness.
There are three patterns in the clinical trials of the vaccine, he said. During the first phase, the vaccine is tested on a small number of people to check if it is safe.
In phase two, safety tests are done on more people to check for signs that the vaccine is producing and the experiences of the requirement, and assess if it is effective and safe.
Phase three trial is conducted on approximately 30,000 people.
Calingasan said the most important component to look into is how long the vaccine can protect an individual after being immunized.
Misamis Oriental has recorded 985 cases with ten municipalities having zero COVID-19 cases. He also lauded Tagoloan town for having only one case left in their municipal isolation unit.
Misamis Oriental's COVID-19 cases have decreased from 392 in October to 192 in November. (JAKA/PIA10)

Remaining imported trash sent back to South Korea
By Alwen Saliring
The remaining containers of imported garbage shipped to Misamis Oriental were sent back to its country of origin in South Korea on Wednesday, August 5.
The BF Mahia vessel that can carry only 70 of the remaining 100 containers left the Mindanao International Container Terminal (MICT) port in Tagoloan town around 11:00 a.m. Wednesday.
The last 30 containers will be loaded in the vessel “Vivalde” that is expected to arrive on Sunday, August 8.
Since the first re-exportation in January 13, 2019, six batches followed the first shipment of the illegally imported Korean Waste back to its country of origin in South Korea.
To date, a total of 4,872.45 metric tons of the more than 5,600 metric tons have already been re-exported.
MICT port collector John Simon of the Bureau of Customs in Northern Mindanao said the restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic caused the delay of the re-exportation.
"We are about to conclude the operations on the Re-Exportation of the 6,000 metric tones of illegal Korean Waste back to its country of Origin (Pyongtaek, Korea). As you very well know the Bureau of Customs had already initiated the Re-Exportation of 200 containers of Korean waste since January but the operations was little bit delayed by the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus,"Simon said.
