Plans:

The foundation is exploring the coasts of Laguna Lake along Rizal Province and Agno Bay in Pangasinan to help the residents preserve the coastal areas as eco-tourism areas.

Laguna Lake is the second largest inland freshwater body in Southeast Asia after Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia. SHFI is encouraging then the residents of the coastal towns of Rizal to support the foundation in its environmental protection campaign.

Sabangan Beach, the home of the famous natural umbrella rocks, in Agno Pangasinan, is a potential destination of nature-lovers and tourists in western Pangasinan. The foundation is very interested to help protect these natural rocks and beaches of Agno.
