[June 26, 2012 Environment Summit, Convention Center, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental] The Amlan Pride campaign was presented to almost 1,000 Environment Management Volunteers (fishers, farmers, Barangay Population and Development Officers) province-wide and to the provincial and regional guests and partner during the Environment Summit.
The massive boat painting was started on May 08 and May 09, 2012 in Tandayag and Bio-os, respectively. A total of 100 boats of registered marginal fishers and one SM boat were painted full body and with the Pride campaign designs in both sides. This SM boat of the municipality was named Lappy, after the Pride campaign mascot. The boat painting was not just a one-shot activity considering that the fishers have to go fishing for their sustenance. Designing the boats by the artist was on the agreed schedule with the fishers. After the kick-off activity, the boat painting by fishers was still continued until June 8, 2012. Our partners from GIZ and the SM Lite participants were able to witness the continuation of the painting activity. It took 4 days in separate occasions for painting the body of the boats and a month to complete painting the Pride campaign designs in both sides of the boats.
