The CENTRO OUTDOOR SPORTS UNLIMITED

CENTRO's History:

As what has been posted at our homepage, we are Samar-based journalists who endeavored into coming up with an institution that can contribute on its own way in providing alternative livelihoods to Samarnons.

The concept was authored when the anti-mining advocacy in Samar Island spread with enormous support from different sectors of society, thus making some Samarnons asked Why mining should not be permitted? What are we going to do with our mineral resources? What livelihood then can we expect if we won't allow mining?

Our effort unbraggingly has succeeded at its initial stage in the Municipality of San Jorge, Samar - thus, we decided for it to continue due to the request of those who witnessed CENTRO's contribution in alleviating Samarnons livelihood condition - but of course in our own right.

We have here, our AFFILIATES and NETWORKS:
