Mount Hamiguitan (Extension) - Pujada Bay
Mount Hamiguitan (Extension) - Pujada Bay (On tentative list)
The Pujada Bay Protected Area consists of a mangrove park (Guang-guang), a peninsula shaped like a "Sleeping Dinosaur," a few islands and dive sites - all within the jurisdiction of Mati City, the capital of Davao Oriental province. Overlooking the bay is the mighty Mt. Hamiguitan (see attached photo).
In 2020, it was declared one of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World (MBBW); and what's more impressive is that this alluring landscape/seascape is located within an urbanized area, not in the usual isolated regions away from the towns and cities.
Having the bay inscribed as an extension of Mt. Hamiguitan will need concerted efforts among all residents, officials and visitors of Mati City - zero pollution, sustainable fishing and tourism, and biodiversity conservation. Herculean task? Maybe, but not entirely impossible.
