Department of Environment and Natural Resources ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT BUREAU V Solid Waste Management Section Regional Center Site, Rawis, Legazpi City ADOPT-AN-ESTERO/WATERBODY PROGRAM 2014 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT REPORT I. INTRODUCTION DENR Secretary Ramon J.P. Paje launched in 2010, the Adopt-an-Estero Program as a flagship program of the Department. The program attempted to respond to the continuing mandamus by the Supreme Court for agencies led by the DENR to clean up Manila Bay, particularly the esteros and waterways that empty into it. The program also tried to provide an integrated undertaking in light of the recent major floodings in Metro Manila and other parts of the country. The program was designed to be a collaborative undertaking among the estero community, private entities, local government units (LGUs) and the DENR. Recognizing that the water pollution problem does not persist only in Metro Manila area but in the entire country, the Department directed all Regional Offices of the Environmental Management Bureau-DENR to undertake a similar program in their respective regions. The different aspects of adapting to the changing patterns of climate, proper solid waste management (SWM), ambient water quality protection and the participation of the private sector were rolled into one umbrella program. These included: 1. The institutionalization of good sanitation and SWM practices among the estero communities through education and actual participation; 2. Reduction of water-borne disease particularly among children and vulnerable groups; 3. Reduction of incidence and risks of prolonged flooding caused by unimpeded water flow; 4. Minimization of additional pollution loads into receiving surface waters, e.g., lakes and seas; and 5. Sustainability integration through the Sustainability integration through the strengthening public-private-community partnerships, mainstreaming into regular LGU programs and passage of complementary local policies. The Adopt-an-Estero Program was implemented in Region V in 2011 with 13 adoptors, in 2012 with 29 adoptors, 23 adoptors in 2013 and 23 adoptors in 2014.
