SAFE JOURNEY Olive ridley sea turtles—an adult and a batch of hatchlings—are given a well-documented sendoff as they inch their way down the beach and toward the sea at Barangay Urbiztondo in San Juan, La Union province, on Wednesday. Attracting a crowd, the release served as the launching activity of the Philippine Experience Program of the Department of Tourism in Region 1. The turtle in the left photo was earlier rescued by the conservation group Coastal Underwater Resource Management Actions. —RICHARD A. REYES
