Lawyer Mark Peñalver, executive director of Idis, shared during a media interview on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at SM City Davao, that the expo will showcase sustainable practices by Lunhaw awardees in areas like solid waste management, organic agriculture, forest protection, and water quality promotion.
“Ang gina anticipate namo kay everyday lahi-lahi man pod gyud ni siya na event and naa pod tay gipang-invite so most probably a hundred or more ang atoang gina expect na makabisita diri sa atoa (We expect over a hundred visitors, as there are different events each day and we’ve invited various groups),” he said.
He added that what sets this year’s expo apart is the introduction of an environmental quiz bee, engaging schools in sustainable practices and raising awareness among students in Davao City.
This year’s Luntiang Pluma edition is also unique, as it not only acknowledges local media’s contributions to green initiatives but also recognizes student journalists who have voiced concerns about environmental issues.
