 These are main ingredients a mural painter should possesses in order to deliver the message of conservation and protection of Mother Nature to the people.” This was shared by Guerrero Saño during the “Mural Painting Workshop” held last May 19, 2014 at the Library Hall of Davao del Norte State College, Panabo City. The said activity was part of the Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities of the Panabo City Pride Campaign which aims of inspiring local fishers to fish outside the Core Zone and use only hook and line in the Buffer Zone to increase fish population and sustain fishing in Panabo.

Inspired by the messages and AG Saño’s flight, the participants headed to Dondoy Elementary School to share and express their different strokes of conservation and protection and make the walls of the school colorful and attractive to students and passers-by. Saño also encouraged the participants to invite their relatives and friends to join the team to increase the awareness of the advocacy of protecting the Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Panabo. The group also did the painting in ARF Gym stage and walls.

Who is AG Saño?

AG Saño is popularly known when he joined the cast of now defunct teleserye “Got to Believe” where he worked with Chichay (Kathryn Bernardo) doing the mural painting. He is called by Rappler.com as the Dolphin Guy  and the artist responsible for some of the most ubiquitous street murals in the Philippines. These murals are not just beautiful, larger-than-life images of dolphins, rainbows, and dreamscape visions – they are concrete messages of conservation and peace.
