LOOK | BLUE KNIGHT HEAD ROCK MARKER UNVEILED IN MANAY

A new landmark rises in Tagtalisay, Brgy. Zaragosa — the Blue Knight Head Rock Marker, a natural rock formation shaped like a knight’s head, now honored with a symbolic tribute.

Inspired by the Atenean values of courage, loyalty, and faith, the marker celebrates the Blue Knight spirit and highlights one of Manay’s hidden coastal gems. This initiative not only honors heritage but also supports eco-tourism and community pride.

Discover the spirit. Visit the Knight.

PAHIBALO SA TANAN
TSUNAMI ADVISORY – MGA GAGMAY NGA KALIHUKAN SA DAGAT

Tungod sa Magnitude 8.7 nga linog sa Russia, gipa-abot sa Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology kon PHIVOLCS nga adunay mga gamayng kalihukan sa dagat o minor sea-level disturbances nga maapektuhan ang baybayong dapit sa Davao Oriental ug uban pang lugar nga atubangan sa Pacific Ocean. Muabot ang tsunami waves nga adunay sukat usa (1) ka metro ang gitas-on ug ubos pa karong ala 1 hangtod alas 2 sa hapon, Hulyo 30, 2025.

Tungod niini, ang inyong probinsiyal nga panggamhanan sa Davao Oriental nagmando sa temporaryong suspensyon sa klase sa tanang tunghaan nga duol sa baybayon sa Davao Oriental, ingon nga lakang sa pagpanalipod sa kaluwasan sa atong mga kabatan-onan ug mga magtutudlo.

Gihangyo ang tanan nga:

✅ Magpabilin nga kalma ug dili magpanik.
✅ Likayi ang pagduol sa baybayon hangtod adunay opisyal nga pahibalo nga luwas na.
✅ Sundon ang mga mando sa inyong barangay ug lokal nga disaster response teams.
✅ Ayaw pagpakaylap og dili kumpirmadong impormasyon.
✅ Pangandam lang ug andama ang emergency kit kung kinahanglan.

Ang inyong kooperasyon ug kahimtang kay importante kaayo sa kaluwasan sa tanan.

Mag-amping ug magtinabangay kita kay KANATO INI!

Mangrove protection is wildlife protection. 🌱🌍🧬

These coastal forests serve as critical habitats for countless species; from fishes and crabs to birds and mammals. By conserving mangroves, we ensure a safe haven for marine and terrestrial wildlife, maintain biodiversity, and support the delicate balance of coastal ecosystems.

Saving mangroves means saving life, above and below water.
