During the photo exhibit showcasing the work of wild bird photographer Ed Santos at Solaire in Paranaque, Villar said a wetland center will be built at the Las Pinas-Paranaque Wetland Park before the end of the year. “Soon, our students will have another reason to frequent the park, not only for clean up and tree-planting activities, they will also have the wetland center to help them understand more why wetlands are important,” Villar said.
