‘Save the mangroves’: Nadine Lustre joins calls to save nature’s ‘shield vs typhoons’

Nadine Lustre joined other Filipinos in advocating to save mangrove forest in the Philippines to protect them from strong typhoons.

These calls came after a report stated that the mangrove forest in Siargao Island saved some of the residents from the onslaught of Typhoon “Odette” (international name: Rai).

In an interview with One PH‘s “SaTotoo Lang” on December 21, Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar said that the massive mangrove forest in Siargao saved the residents from a storm surge detected in two to three areas there.
