EMB accredits West Cove Resort as Pollution Control Fighter

The Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has given the West Cove Resort here a certificate of accreditation as pollution control officer.

This, after the EMB-DENR-Western Visayas invited the said resort recently as participant to the pollution control forum held in Iloilo City. The forum was also organized together with the Pollution Control Association of the Philippines Incorporated.

Said forum was held during the 33rd Regional Convention and General Membership Assembly on June 27-28, 2013.

The certificate of accreditation was signed by DENR regional director Atty. Jonathan Bulos dated July 17.

"This certificate shows that we are committed in preserving the environment and not to cause pollution especially for Boracay Island considered as one of the World's Best Beaches," said Mobo on Thursday.

Also earlier, the TripAdvisor, one of the world's leading tourism firms, has awarded the West Cove Resort with the Certificate of Excellence as one of the champions for 2013.
