Notes de l'éditeur
- On Resource Conservation, Protection and Productivity
- 1. On forest management, our forest cover stands at 7.2 million hectares or 24% of our land area. 2. However, there are more degraded areas at 8 million hectares.
- 1. The government has taken determined efforts to protect and conserve our remaining forests. 2. For the first time, a nationwide logging ban in natural forests was issued through Executive order No. 23. The same Order also created the National Anti-Illegal Logging Task Force.
- The past year, we have confiscated 10.3 million board feet of illegally-cut logs and lumber, valued at P313 million. As a result, we filed 297 cases for illegal logging. We also closed 215 wood processing plant, especially those without source of logs supply.
- To complement the logging ban, we established the National Greening Program, where we will all plant 1.5 billion trees in 1.5 million hectares in 6 years. This is more than what we have planted the past 50 years. 2. This year, we will plant 50 million trees in 100,000 hectares. Already, we have produced more than 27 million seedlings.
- On Clean Air
- 1. Major urban centers are polluted. 2. In Metro Manila, air pollution, measured by the Total Suspended Particulates or the amount of dust particles in the air, was 84% beyond what is considered healthy, during the 1st half of 2010.
- 1. According to World Bank, 80% of this pollution in Metro Manila comes from vehicular emissions. 2. Nationwide, 18 million Filipinos are affected and the cost is P7.6 billion/year.
- 1. To address this pollution, we strengthened enforcement and regulations. We made the emission standards for motorcycles and tricycles more stringent. 2. We worked with various NGO’s, especially in EDSA to catch smoke-belchers using cellphones to take pictures. This will then be traced by the LTO.
- We worked closely with other agencies to reduce traffic (such as alternative routing schemes) and ensure compliance with emission testing.
- 1. We developed a program with the ADB to provide credit in the conversion of engines to electric. 2. This is now being piloted in selected cities in Metro Manila.
- 1. Based on our monitoring, air pollution in Metro Manila, in terms of Total Suspended Particulates, was reduced by 23% the past year. 2. While the air in Metro Manila is still polluted, we believe that the air quality standard is now within reach.
- On Clean Air
- 1. The waterways in major urban centers are deemed unfit for human activity. 2. Water pollution, measured by the demand for oxygen in water or BOD, in 19 major rivers in 2010 is 4 times the level of what is considered healthy.
- We have initiated the clean-up of waterways through the “Adopt An Estero” Program, where companies adopt a particular waterway. 2. An example is Estero de Paco which was adopted by the ABS-CBN Foundation. They have already cleaned up the estero. Before, the estero was full of garbage, as if one can walk on water.
- 1. Here is another picture of the estero. It is not only cleaning up but relocation of informal settlers as well.
- Adopting an estero also means putting vegetation, not only to beautify but to promote phyto-remediation or the clean-up of waterways using natural methods, through vegetation.
- Nationwide, 208 corporations have so far enlisted in the program, such as Jillibee, San Miguel, Toyota and Masinloc.
- 1. We also exerted efforts to reduce the garbage along our waterways. 2. We required the plastic industry to retrieve and recycle the plastics and launched the use of reusable bags, which are now being implemented in supermarkets like SM.
- We forged an agreement with 11 Metro Manila Mayors to put up solid waste management systems in subdivisions and condominiums to ensure waste segregation at source and during collection.
- 1. Good governance is the cornerstone of the Aquino Administration.
- 1. The Philippines is prone to natural hazards due to our location and geological and topographical attributes.
- We have already completed the geological hazard mapping of the entire Philippines, to determine landslide and flood-prone areas, and have distributed 65,000 map sheets to all local officials, up to Barangay level. 2. We have started a more detailed mapping for areas prone to landslides and coastal geo-hazard assessment of 46 municipalities.
- 1. Good governance is the cornerstone of the Aquino Administration.
- 1. Good governance is the cornerstone of the Aquino Administration.
- 1. We immediately initiated efforts at removing opportunities for graft and corruption. 2. We are now donating confiscated logs and lumber to the Department of Education. 3. So far, we have donated 2.2 million board feet that have been transformed into numerous school facilities and use for repairs of school buildings.
- They say that the DENR checkpoints are the ATM of our personnel. We have reduced the number of our checkpoints by 57%, from 274 to 118.
- We have installed 902 CCTV cameras in all our offices, up to the municipal level, to monitor our operations and transactions. 2. We also started to eliminate face-to-face transactions by using the banks, starting with the payment for water permits at NWRB.
- We strengthened our prosecution and justice system. As a result, we issued “show cause” to 78 personnel, formally charged 31 of them, penalized 6 personnel and dismissed from the service 8 employees.
- 1. We also conducted nationwide trainings for our personnel, the enforcers, fiscals and judges, through the Supreme Court, to improve our prosecution capability.
- 1. We believe that what we are all doing in partnership: the Executive, Congress, the Senate & all other sectors, is having an impact.
- From the 8th most corrupt agency, the DENR is now the 4th least corrupt agency, based on the perception of the public in the March 2011 Pulse Asia survey. The Movement for Good Governance, led by Professor SolitaMonsod, recently issued a 36-page assessment of the Administration and ranked the environment number 4 in government performance.
- The confidence of the public in the efforts of government in stopping the destruction and abuse of the environment has been reversed, from a net approval rating of -12 in the October 2009 to +36 in the June 2011 Pulse Asia Survey.
