    19 SEPTEMBER 2020, Saturday Headline STRATEGIC September 19, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 2 Opinion Page Feature Article DENR Leads International Coastal Cleanup Day Friday, September 18, 2020 People's Tonight DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu THE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will lead today, Sept. 19, 2020, its yearly coastal cleanup but with no large gatherings and fewer volunteers to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). According to Secretary Roy Cimatu, unlike in previous years, there will be no large gatherings this time at the traditional shoreline and creek sites to prevent the transmission of the virus that has already claimed hundreds of thousand lives and transmission to more than a million others. The Philippines has been an active participant of the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day – a global campaign to protect the ocean and its inhabitants. To mark the local observance, Cimatu said there will be lesser attendees composed mostly government employees who will convene along the coast of the historical Manila Bay on Roxas Boulevard. Volunteers have been encouraged to follow the government’s health protocols others were told to conduct clean-at-home efforts by reducing plastic waste. Cimatu stressed that an individual’s duty to keep the shorelines, rivers and waterways clean does not stop even with the pandemic – a task every Juan dela Cruz should take on every single day. The Environment head gave emphasis on proper disposal of coronavirus wastes, such as single-use face masks and gloves, which have become a new form of pollution threatening marine life and ecosystems.

Cimatu (RTVM / MANILA BULLETIN) This was part of the DENR’s response to a letter sent by the office of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno last Sept. 7, seeking the agency’s clarification on the safety of dolomite to public health. In his response dated Sept. 8, Cimatu pointed out that beach nourishment is the practice of adding sand or sediment to beaches to combat erosion and increase beach width. Beach nourishment, he explained, should be applied in Manila Bay because “Manila Bay is not considered prone to coastal erosion as it is mostly protected by seawalls, but the beaches are very narrow.” He cited that under the writ of continuing Mandamus issued by the Supreme Court on Dec. 18, 2016, a marching order was given to 13 government agencies, including the DENR to spearhead the clean up, rehabilitation, and preservation of Manila Bay “to make it more suitable for swimming, skin diving, and other forms of contact recreation and for protection of coastal communities.” “After dredging and clean up of the Bay, it was agreed upon by members of the different agencies involved in the rehabilitation of Manila Bay that the initial beach nourishment in Manila Bay will be applied in segment between the area fronting the US Embassy and the Manila Yacht Club to mimic a sort of a ‘pocket beach,’ the northern portion protected by the compound of the US Embassy and the south side sheltered by the Mall of Asia compound,” the letter read.

    Cimatu leads mangrove tree planting in BASECO By Ma. Alaine P. AllaniguePublished on December 24, 2020 DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu, with MMDA Cahir Danilo Lim with DENR-NCR Regional Executive Director Jacqueline Caancan and other officials lookk at what they have planted during a tree-planting activity in BASECO, Manila on Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2020. (Photo credit: DENR) QUEZON CITY, Dec. 24 (PIA) –Environment & Natural Resources chief, Secretary Roy A. Cimatu led a mangrove tree planting activity at the BASECO lagoon in Port Area, Manila on Tuesday, December 22, 2020. Joining him is Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chair Danilo Lim who appeared amazed at the developments done in the area. Lim was particularly delighted to find a thriving mangrove ecosystem in the lagoon area as he was seen taking his time feeding fishes that took refuge in the area during his inspection of the boardwalk that DENR National Capital Region constructed. Cimatu was himself likewise pleased with the progress made in the rehabilitation of BASECO beach area, repeatedly commending local officials, the MMDA, and DENR-NCR Regional Executive Director Jacqueline A. Caancan. According to Cimatu, DENR’s responsibility under the Manila Bay Rehabilitation Program is not confined to the physical rehabilitation, cleaning, and dredging of waterways alone. “Habitat restoration is a part of the rehabilitation efforts,” Cimatu stressed He added that the planting activity in BASECO was “only the start of habitat restoration in this part of Manila Bay", instructing the DENR National Capital Region to look into the rehabilitation of the entire coastal stretch of Metro Manila. The secretary mentioned, in particular, the shores of Parola area which stood opposite of BASECO at the mouth of the Pasig River to Manila Bay.

(MANILA BULLETIN) Also denied by the SC in its November 17 resolution was Akbayan’s plea to intervene in the 2008 Manila Bay environmental protection case that had long become final and executory. In a resolution, the SC said what it has been monitoring is the full implementation of its 2008 decision that directed practically all government agencies, including those in law enforcement, to speed up the cleanup, restoration, and preservation of Manila Bay. The SC even formed the Manila Bay Advisory Committee (MBAC) to monitor and evaluate the reports submitted by the agencies tasked to implement its decision. The committee is now headed by Chief Justice Diosdado M. Peralta with Associate Justice Rodil V. Zalameda as vice chairperson and Associate Justice Edgardo Delos Santos and Court Administrator Jose Midas P. Marquez as members. A copy of the SC’s resolution denying Akbayan’s motion to intervene and to cite the DENR in contempt was not immediately available. The SC’s public information office (PIO) said it would be uploaded in its website, sc.judiciary.gov.ph, once available.

  • Fish Kill Not Because of Dolomite — DENR Published 2 Hours Ago on September 18, 2020 04:05 AM by Francis Wakefield
    18 SEPTEMBER 2020, FRIDAY Headline STRATEGIC September 18, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE A7 Opinion Page Feature Article Headline STRATEGIC September 18, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 1 Opinion Page Feature Article Fish kill not because of dolomite — DENR Published 2 hours ago on September 18, 2020 04:05 AM By Francis Wakefield The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on Thursday brushed off insinuations by some quarters that the dead fish found floating at the seawall of Baseco in Tondo, Manila, might be due to the dolomite “white sand”. DENR Undersecretary Benny Antiporda insisted that the alleged fish kill was not directly due to the dolomite crushed dolomite boulders but because of the low level of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the area. “First of all, there is a divider in the Baseco area and Baywalk area. There is a big breakwater that it will cost you about five kilometers to go to the other side. It’s far away,” Antiporda said in a virtual presser. “If you notice, the wind blows towards the Baywalk area, towards the US Embassy. Now, if that’s how it goes, then the dead fish should be found in this area, near the pier and not at Baseco. Baseco is at the back of Pier South. Now, how can the dead fish found in Baseco be because of dolomite? That is very erroneous,” he added. The official then cited that a similar incident took place in the coastline of Las Pinas and Paranaque cities in October 2019 where nearly two tons of various species of dead fish were found afloat.

    04 SEPTEMBER 2020, FRIDAY Headline STRATEGIC September 04, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 1 Opinion Page Feature Article LMB, LRA working to link databases Published September 3, 2020, 11:48 AM by Ellalyn De Vera-Ruiz The Land Management Bureau (LMB) and the Land Registration Authority (LRA) are working on linking together their respective land information databases as they aim to provide the public a seamless and worry-free land-related transactions in the coming months. A joint memorandum circular is now being drafted that would allow both agencies to link together their land information databases using a software intermediary called Application Programming Interface (API). API will connect the LMB’s Land Administration and Management System (LAMS) with the LRA’s Philippine Land Registration and Information System (PHILARIS). LMB is the agency responsible for providing direction and technical support to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) field offices on land management and administration, while the LRA is an attached agency of the Department of Justice that handles the registration and transfer of land titles issued through administrative and judicial proceedings. LMB Director Emelyne Talabis said the data-sharing innovation is part of the government’s intensified efforts to cut red tape and improve the quality of frontline services to the public, pursuant to Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018. “The new system will relieve land title applicants from directly requesting and submitting land records from each agency as part of the verification and registration requirements,” Talabis said. “This will significantly reduce turnaround time in the processing of land transactions,” she added.

(MANILA BULLETIN FILE PHOTO) Department of Environment and Natural Resources-National Capital Region (DENR- NCR) Regional Executive Director Jacqueline Caancan led last Oct. 1 the sourcing of bamboo saplings from the DENR-Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB) office in Los Baños, Laguna, which they will use for the tree-planting project in Baseco. ERDB Director Henry Adornado committed to provide around 300 saplings, consisting of three species, Kauyang Tinik (Bambusa blumeana), Kauayang Kiling (Bambusa vulgaria), and Bayog (Bambusa meriliana). According to Arturo Calderon, chief of the Production Forest Management Section of the DENR-NCR, tree-planting in Baseco is a continuous program of the department to rehabilitate the Manila Bay. “We have initially planted 200 bamboo seedlings from DENR-Region 4A early this year,” he said in a phone interview. The tree planting project in Baseco and other parts of Manila has also the support of Manila Mayor Francisco Domagoso for the city’s urban greening plan. “(Manila) Mayor Isko (Moreno) has also suggested planting bamboo along stream banks. We are now sourcing out bamboo saplings that will be planted along the reclaimed easements in Manila,” Calderon cited.
