Davao City cited for clean air efforts

DAVAO CITY: A national environment group has declared Davao City as a “Clean Air City” and Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio as a Clean Air Champion for keeping the airshed clean and safe to breathe despite the city’s fast progress.

“Usually with progress and urbanization come air pollution,” said Michael Aragon, chair of Clean Air Philippines Movement Inc. (CAPMI), during the ceremonial kick-off of the Clean Air Month and National Environment Month at the NCCC Mall on Monday.
