Cordova Mangrove Center with bird-watching deck launched
THE town of Cordova in Cebu’s Mactan Island now has a mangrove propagation center that also features a view deck for bird watching. The facility was funded by Metro Pacific Investments Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) and its subsidiary Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway Corporation (CCLEC). “We entrust this Mangrove Propagation and Information Center to the people of Cordova, under Mayor Mary Therese Sitoy-Cho, in the belief that they will use this to advance their environmental and economic agenda,” said MPIC Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan in a statement following the facility’s inauguration last week. CCLEC is the proponent of the P30-billion Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, an 8.5-kilometer toll bridge that will serve as an additional route between Mactan and Cebu City through the South Road Properties.
