As a fitting
culmination of the one week celebration of the FISH CONSERVATION
WEEK with the theme: “The Stake of the Youth in our Seas and other Aquatic
Resources”, the WWF-Philippines and the Society for the
Conservation of Philippine Wetlands (through its former president
Mr. Filemon G. Romero), organized an On the Spot Essay Writing Contest
held at the Conference Room of the Administration Bldg. of the MSU-TCTO
Sanga-Sangao, Bongao Tawi-Tawi last October 21, 2005. This was in
cooperation with the BFAR-Tawi-Tawi PFO, FISH Project, MSU-TCTO, Local
Government Support Program for ARMM, and Rotary Club of Tawi-Tawi.
The aim of the celebration was to raise
the awareness and motivate our young people to do their share in
protecting, conserving and properly managing the coastal resources
we have today so that the future generations will still continue to
benefit from the bounty of our seas. For the essay contest it aimed
to discover the innate talents of students in expressing themselves
in an expository essay format in either English or in the national
language and encourage students to further enhance their writing
abilities.
The participating schools were MSU Preparatory High School, Notre Dame of
Bongao, MSU TCTO Science High School, Tawi-Tawi School of Arts and Trade,
Tawi-Tawi Regional Agricultural College Laboratory High School, Maharlika
Institute of Technology High School, and Abubakar Computer Learning Center
High School. Winners were awarded cash prizes and trophies for the
respective schools.
