Dear Hon. Caminero,

Good day!

Thank you for your assistance and support to our on-going project, “Vulnerability Assessment of
Coastal Areas in Davao Gulf to Climate-related Hazards”¸ on its previous activities.

As part of science-based and dynamic assessments of biodiversity and coastal areas of Davao Gulf,
our research team would like to visit your offices on 08-09 October 2020 to request copies of
various data with consideration on physical, biological, and socio-economic factors. These data
are vulnerability assessment parameters that were discussed and agreed together with other local
government units during our project consultation last 03-04 October 2019 at Davao Eagle Ridge
Resort, Upper Ulas, Davao City. Our research team will be composed of For. Brian L. Pototan and
Mr. Christian Yancy A. Yurong.

For more information, you may contact our research personnel, Ms. Jonna Belle D. Hollite, at
jdhollite1@up.edu.ph or +639273626138 / +639285798423.

We hope for a positive response from your kind office.

Truly yours,

Annabelle U. Novero, PhD
