Elias and the Bikol River

By Lorie Santos

"Elias and the Bikol River" is the story of a young kid who longs to fish for his cat and swim in the river. When he goes to the Bikol River, he catches a can of sardines instead of real fish. Elias learns that he, along with his friends and other people, can help make the river clean again.

Elias and the Bikol River was first published by the Ina nin Bikol Foundation, Inc. in 2017 under the title "Si Elias asin ang Salog Naga". The story won the 'Sa Ugoy ng Inang Wika Contest' of the De la Salle University's Bienvenido N. Santos Creative Writing Center in 2017.

A portion of the sales from this book, and others in the series, will be donated to Sumaro sa Salog Inc. (SULOG), the lead proponent of Irukan which will house the Emelina G. Regis Sanctuary of Native Trees in Naga City, Philippines.
