On June 8, 2025, the JBLFMU Community Extension Services (CES) Office held a Community Meeting and Strategic Planning session at Tabunan Chapel, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras. The gathering brought together 47 community residents and local leaders to share insights, raise concerns, and actively participate in shaping future programs aligned with JBLFMU’s strategic goals.
This collaborative effort directly supports initiatives in the Igang Bay Marine Sanctuary (IBMS) by ensuring community engagement in environmental protection, sustainable resource management, and local development. By anchoring projects in shared responsibility and inclusive growth, JBLFMU CES reinforces its commitment to empowering communities while advancing conservation and sustainable practices that benefit both people and the marine ecosystem.
