By Gideon C. Corgue

PAGADIAN CITY, March 20---The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-9) represented by Regional Executive Director Arturo Fadriquela and Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), Zamboanga del Sur Chapter represented by Melchor Coronel signed the memorandum of agreement (MOA) that aims to promote environmental protection and conservation in Zamboanga del Sur.


The MOA signing ceremony was held inside the conference room of DENR-9 on Monday, March 18 and was witnessed by the division chiefs of the department and the KBP officers.

In the MOA, both parties agreed to enrich the 1-hectare existing plantation or forest cover located within barangay Baclay in the town of Tukuran.

Fadriquela said he was very happy that the MOA signing of the KBP local chapter was conducted and he also observed that the media practitioners are ready and willing to help the DENR in pursuing their vision of a greener and healthier environment.


Fadriquela said that the protection and conservation of the environment cannot be done by the DENR alone and it needs the support of its partners.

"We can be more effective in our environmental protection campaign if we are joined by our partners, especially the KBP Zamboanga del Sur chapter," Fadriquela said.

Fadriquela added that the partnership between DENR-9 and KBP will give great importance to the care and protection of the environment.

The regional executive director further said that DENR and KBP will work together to inform the people of the importance of protecting and preserving our environment such as planting trees and many others.

Meanwhile, KBP chairman Melchor Coronel expressed his happiness that DENR-9 responded to their request to find a public land where KBP members can plant trees.


"We are delighted that the DENR has offered us a hectare of forest land so that we have a place to plant trees and we have dreamed of this for a long time. With this forest land, it will be easy for KBP to carry out its reforestation and greening initiatives under the department's Adopt-A-Mountain Program," Coronel concluded.(jc/The Pagdian Times)
