Dear Sir, 
I hope this message finds you well.
I am Ahmed Eladawy, I am a researcher at the Institute of Science Tokyo. As a part of the E-Asia project, we are supporting the conservation of mangroves in Batan Bay, Philippines. I visited the area in 2023 and 2024. I would like to ask about the discharge data of Aklan, Ibajay, and Panay rivers during 2020-2024. I can view the old data but I request the updated data for our project.
Best Regards,
Ahmed
