The Senate on March 1 adopted a resolution expressing its profound sympathy and condolences on the death of National Scientist and former Department of Environment and Natural Resources secretary Angel Alcala.
He was named a National Scientist through Proclamation 782 signed by former President Benigno Aquino III for his work. Marcos said Alcala passionately pursued his advocacy of protecting the Philippine marine ecosystem, starting the first MPA on Sumilon Island in Southern Cebu in 1974, and Apo Island in Southern Negros in 1982.
This gave international conservationists a reliable basis for establishing conservation programs on Philippine vertebrate biodiversity.
