Laurea MANILA — The Philippines’ Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is among the recipients of “Oscar on Best Policies” award. Secretary Roy A. Cimatu, during the online awarding ceremony of Future Policy Award 2021 held recently, acknowledged the Special Award for Lead in Paint category which the Philippines received as a result of the issuance of DENR’s Administrative Order (DAO) No. 2013-24 or the Chemical Control Order for Lead and Lead Compounds. The DAO mandates the prohibition on the use of lead and lead compounds in the production/manufacturing of packaging for food and drink, fuel additives, water pipes, school supplies, cosmetics, and paints. Cimatu said the award bespeaks the commitment of the national government in protecting human health and the environment through responsive policies. The Philippines is among the top five awardees from the 55 policies nominated, and the first Southeast Asian country to win the award. The Future Policy Award dubbed as the “Oscar on Best Policies” is an annual event of the Germany-based World Future Council. Last December 23, 2013, then DENR Secretary Ramon J. Paje issued DAO 2013-24 pursuant to Republic Act 6969 otherwise known as the Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Act of 1990, and to other previous DAOs and implementing policies. The DAO 2013-24 aims to increase awareness about the toxicity of lead and lead compounds and the availability of the technically superior and safer alternatives.

Pinasalamatan ni Cimatu ang publiko at ang Pangulo sa ibinigay na pagkilala sa mga pagsisikap ng Manila Bay Task Force na linisin ang bahagi ng Baywalk. Sinabi pa ni Cimatu na ang pagdagsa ng mga tao sa Manila Bay noong nakalipas na weekend upang masulyapan ang white sand beach ay isang malakas na indikasyon na ang proyekto ay labis na sinusuportahan ng publiko. Nalungkot nga lamang ang environment chief nang hindi naipatupad ng maayos ang physical distancing dahil na rin sa kagustuhan ng mga tao na makita ang white sand beach. Ibinabahagi naman ni Cimatu ang mga papuri at pagkilala na natatanggap ng DENR dahil sa beach nourishment project sa iba pang mga mandamus agency.

    Government of the Philippines Department of Health Public Disclosure Authorized Philippines COVID-19 Emergency Response Project (P173877) and Additional Financing Project (P175953) Public Disclosure Authorized STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PLAN (SEP) Public Disclosure Authorized 04 FEBRUARY 2021 Public Disclosure Authorized 1 1. Introduction/Project Description An outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS- CoV-2) has been spreading rapidly across the world since December 2019, following the diagnosis of the initial cases in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Since the beginning of March 2020, the number of cases outside China has increased thirteenfold and the number of affected countries has tripled. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic as the coronavirus rapidly spreads across the world. As of March 26, 2020, the outbreak has resulted in an estimated 416,686 cases and 18,589 deaths in 197 countries and territories. COVID-19 is one of several emerging infectious diseases (EID) outbreaks in recent decades that have emerged from animals in contact with humans, resulting in major outbreaks with significant public health and economic impacts. The last moderately severe influenza pandemics were in 1957 and 1968; each killed more than a million people around the world. Although countries are now far more prepared than in the past, the world is also far more interconnected, and many more people today have behavior risk factors such as tobacco use and pre-existing chronic health problems that make viral respiratory infections particularly dangerous. With COVID-19, scientists are still trying to understand the full picture of the disease symptoms and severity.
