Thanks for the support.
About Atty Oposa's invitation to Bantayan, the BCWD lawyers might not be able to go there because of earlier commitments.
I have talked though with the Manager's representative, he is offering for Atty Oposa and his staff's all expense paid visit here in Butuan for a consultation about the watershed case on that suggested date or to a new date of their choice.

I had finally sent an email to Atty Oposa cc to you regarding your request of local lawyer's names who you can coordinate with in facilitating legal approaches to bring the culprits of destroying the Taguibo watershed of Butuan City to justice.
Thank you in advance for the help.
Thank you.
