The problem was fixed, and the result was measured and recorded.
DENR Region 9, through CENRO Imelda, released 140 critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle hatchlings (Eretmochelys imbricata) on Pandilusan Island, Payao, Zamboanga Sibugay on 19 July 2026. The clutch had been laid on the island's beach and was translocated to a safer spot after high tide threatened the original nest. The municipal government of Payao, the island caretaker, the 106th Infantry Battalion and the Coast Guard Sub-Station in Payao took part in the release.
