On, June 11, Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort & Spa, Cebu formally opened Maco’s Hub: Marine Conservation Kaakohan Center, located fronting the Shangri-La Marine Sanctuary at the beachfront. Inspired by its drive to uplift marine biodiversity, the center was named after the resort’s mascot, “Maco”, a seahorse, a known icon of a healthy aquatic ecosystem.

Maco stands for marine conservation and “kaakohan” is a Cebuano word meaning ownership. Having a strong sense of ownership towards the marine environment is what the hub aims promote to guests. It is adorned with a gallery where guests familiarize themselves with the marine species found at the resort’s sanctuary, and moving forward it will be the venue where guests participate in corporate social responsibility activities under the resort’s Care for Nature program.
Maco’s Hub inspires to create a healthy environment for over a hundred species of fish that call the Shangri-La Marine Sanctuary home, and ultimately to raise awareness on the importance of protecting underwater life throughout the world.
