MANDAUE CITY, Cebu – The Mandaue City Government plans to develop mangrove swamps that are located on its coastal barangays into eco-tourism sites, according to Sharon Mangadlao, in-charge of the City Agriculture Office (CAO). Doing so was also a means to protect these from abuse and destruction, she said. Rene Cobong, president of the Federation of Fisherfolks and Bantay Dagat, said Mandaue City was home to a variety of mangroves that are found on its 10 coastal barangays. These include miapi, pagatpat, pututan, bakhaw baye, and bakhaw laki.
