Opening of the Meeting (No document) 1. The meeting was opened by the hostess, Stephany Dianne Stefanowitz, the Miss Philippines-Earth 2012 and Miss Earth Air 2012. She reminded the meeting that the Dugong was at high risk of extinction, and after the First Meeting of the Signatories in Abu Dhabi in 2010, the present gathering was another milestone in international efforts to protect the species. 2. After leading the meeting in a rendition of the Philippines’ national anthem, Ms Stefanowitz introduced Ms Theresa Mundita Lim of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippines (DENR). 3. Ms Lim introduced the other people on the podium, namely Ernesto D. Adobo Junior, the Deputy Minister followed by Nelson P. Devanadera, the Assistant Director and Ms Donna Kwan of the CMS Secretariat. She welcomed all the delegates to Manila and expressed her delight and honour at hosting the meeting. 4. Ms Lim related the story of Joanna, the injured Dugong calf.

However, lessons were learned from the experience.
