(LEYECO II), conducted a working lunch and coordination meeting on July 29, 2026, to advance the 74-Hectare Adopt-a-Site Program and the Expanded Multi-Sectoral Memorandum of Agreement for the Tacloban Coastal Climate Resilience Corridor Program.

Ilagan, with representatives from DENR Region VIII, Leyte Metropolitan Water District (LMWD), and Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU).

The planned meeting was intended to expand collaboration with the Tacloban City Government, Department of Tourism, Department of Agriculture, Department of the Interior and Local Government, and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. Through these collaborative efforts, PH Haiyan continues to promote the implementation of environmental initiatives aimed at transforming Tacloban's northern coastal barangays into models of climate resilience, environmental stewardship, and sustainable community development. The initiative reflects PH Haiyan's continuing commitment to translating institutional partnerships into coordinated action toward a greener and more climate-resilient Tacloban.
