Malaking parte ng Agusan River ang Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, na idineklarang protected area sa Agusan del Sur ng dating pangulong Fidel V. Ramos. Nagsisilbi itong drainage basin na malaking tulong sa mga Agusanon tuwing panahon ng tag-ulan at mula sa pagtama ng bagyo. Ayon kay Agusan del Sur Governor Santiago Cane, Jr., mahigpit na pinapatulad ng gobyerno ang Environmental Code sa Agusan Marsh. Nanawagan din sya sa lahat ng Caraganon na tumulong sa pagpreserba ng mga natural-grown trees na malapit sa wetlands dahil ang mga ito ang nagbibigay-buhay sa Agusan Marsh.

PBBM sees no need for special powers to curb inflation

MANILA – There is no need to ask for special powers to ease inflation, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said Wednesday, noting that several interventions are already in place to manage the prices of basic commodities. Marcos made the remark a day after the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reported that the country’s headline inflation could surpass the 9 percent level in February because of high prices of cooking gas and key food items. “I do not think that it is necessary to ask for special powers,” he said in a chance interview on the sidelines of an event at the Rizal Park, when asked if he is considering asking Congress to grant him special powers to curb inflation. “I already have the power to declare an emergency and to control the prices of commodities. So, I don't think there's any need for more than that. That is efficient,” he added. On Tuesday, the BSP said the inflation rate in February may fall within the range of 8.5 to 9.3 percent, citing the upside risks
