The event was held in the presence of His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Labour, and Ayesha Ehma Sherif, Chief of the IOM Mission, with participation from representatives of the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), labour unions, and federations. The workshop aimed to raise awareness about preventive measures to safeguard workers' health and safety during the summer months by promoting safe and healthy practices to prevent heat-related complications. It also reinforced the importance of maintaining a safe working environment through compliance with national legislation designed to protect workers from natural hazards. Discussions during the event highlighted key summer-related illnesses affecting workers exposed to high temperatures and humidity.

Reticulated python turned over to DENR Bicol
A concerned resident in Legazpi City, Albay turned over a juvenile reticulated python or "sawa" to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Bicol. According to DENR Bicol, Rey Vincent A. Agustin from Barangay Arimbay brought the snake to the DENR Regional Office in Barangay Rawis, Legazpi City on July 3, 2025. He said it was for the safety of both the animal and the community. Personnel from DENR's Conservation and Development Division (CDD) and Enforcement Division (ED), led by Assistant Regional Director for Technical Services Atty. Ronnel C. Sopsop, received the python. After a quick health check, they released it within the Mount Mayon Natural Park. The reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) is classified as 'Other Threatened Species' under DENR Administrative Order No. 2019-09. DENR said this means that while it is not yet considered vulnerable, it is at risk due to threats like over-collection. All wildlife in the country are protected under Republic Act No. 9147 or the 'Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act.' DENR Bicol Regional Executive Director Francisco E. Milla Jr. encouraged the public to help protect native wildlife. 'I-report po natin agad sa DENR kung may makita tayong wildlife, buhay man o sugatan. Sama-sama tayong magbantay para sa ating kalikasan,' Milla announced.
