SINAS LEADS PNP "MAKA-KALIKASAN" DRIVE
The Philippine National Police, in cooperation with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, is taking active steps to reforest a portion of the Marikina Watershed Area in Rizal as part of the police organization’s social responsibility to environmental protection.
“This initiative is not only socially relevant but is deeply rooted in the PNP core values of Maka-Diyos, Makabayan, Makatao at Maka-Kalikasan,” PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas said as he led 900 PNP personnel, DENR employees, and the 4x4 Expedition Philippines, an NGO partner of the police agency, in a massive tree-planting program in Rizal Sunday morning.
Some 10,000 assorted seedlings of hardwood and fruit-bearing species were planted in portions of the 368-hectare reservation awarded to the PNP Special Action Force under Presidential Proclamation 1355 series of 2007 in Sitio Canumay, Barangay San Jose, Antipolo City, Rizal.
Also present during the activity were DENR Undersecretary for Special Concerns, Edilberto C Leonardo, actor Albert Martinez, 4x4 Expedition PHL ambassador, and Bureau of Corrections head Gerald Bantag whose agency has also been awarded by DENR with land reserve.
Sinas said the PNP is committed to see these trees grow under the care of PNP SAF, to become living monuments of the national advocacy for environmental protection. He also pledged to work closely with the DENR in addressing the protection of mangroves in the country, adding that, "the police can serve as instrument of the DENR in pursuit of ecological balance and against natural resource degradation due to "kaingin", illegal mining, illegal logging, illegal fishing, and other violations of environment laws.
