The DENR 2 Day Care Center, with capacity of 50 heads, was built to take care of employees' children and grandchildren while they are in their nursery stage or when their nannies are absent.
One major concern of the management now a days is addressing efficiency and effectiveness of employees in the workplace. The DENR R02 in particular has been conducting seminar on capability building, personnel management and team building. Such trainings do not absolutely resolve the problem of employees’ efficiency. For instance, a working mother with multiple tasks in the office as well in her dwelling unit doing the usual household activities aside from rearing of the children from health care to education. In short, the work performance of an employee-mother is much affected.
To address such concern, DENR Region 02 has revived the operationalization of Day Care Center with two-pronged functions, to wit:
a) As Nanny Center and
b) As Semi- Formal Education Center
As early as October 2011, the Regional Executive Director has opened two jobs, namely: Day Care Center Teacher and Assistant Teacher.
These two jobs were duly announced and notices were posted in conspicuous places of DENR Regional Office, PENRO Cagayan and CENRO Tuguegarao and to our Regional Website.
On January 2012, deliberation was conducted for hiring a Nanny with qualifications and conditions hereunder enumerated:
a) At least 21-50 years of age with minimum 3 year experience as yaya/nanny within the Philippines
b) Application Letter
c) Certification of Good Moral Character from previous employer/s;
d) Certification from the Barangay Captain/Police;
e) Duly fille-uo Biodata with 2X2 ID picture;
f) After passing the screening, the applicant shall undergo a probationary 3 month contract.
g) Must be physically fit to take care of children in their tender ages (2-4 year old); and
h) With a salary of P5,000.00/month.
Guidelines prescribing the steps and procedures for nannying services of the Day Care was immediate formulated.

DENR, CEZA, LGU inspect Nangaramoan Beach
"We do not like to happen in Nangaramoan what happened in Boracay."
This was the statement of Cagayan Valley environment chief Atty. Gil A. Aromin during the joint site inspection by the DENR, Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA) and Local Government Unit (LGU) of Sta. Ana in Nangaramoan Beach, Sta. Ana, Cagayan, on March 22, 2018.
Regional Director Aromin emphasized that even before the situation in Boracay became a national issue, DENR Region 2 has already taken positive steps to contain and preserve the beach.
"What is best for the environment will be best for the people. All we have to do is to manage the resources properly and comply with environmental laws," Atty. Aromin added.
In January this year, business operation along Nangaramoan Beach, one of the world's finest beaches, was stopped for failure to comply with environmental laws and for violating Section 69 of Presidential Decree No. 705 as amended by Section 78 of Republic Act 7161, the Clean Water Act and the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act.
According to Engr. Avelino Natividad, chief safety officer of CEZA, self-demolition and clearing of establishments within the 20-meter salvage zone has already started.
After acquiring all the necessary documents such as the previous surveys of the site and the foreshore development and management plan, the DENR-CEZA-LGU team will convene to plan for necessary actions.
It can be recalled that in October 2017, the Community Environment and Natural Resources (CENR) Office of Aparri, CEZA and LGU Sta. Ana issued final notice to the president and members of the Nangaramoan Environmental Protectors Association to stop their business operation including further construction and improvement of establishments which were illegally erected.
There are 138 cottages, nine variety stores and five souvenir shops in Nangaramoan Beach.#
Parties ink Phil croc conservation hub
The population of Philippine Crocodile in Region 2 will soon increase following the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on the establishment of a conservation center and groundbreaking ceremony held on Feb. 15, 2018 at the Isabela State University (ISU) - San Mariano campus.
The Local Government Unit (LGU) of San Mariano, ISU Echague campus, Mabuwaya Foundation Inc. and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will be jointly managing the Conservation Center.
In his message of support, DENR Regional Director Atty. Gil A. Aromin expressed his gratitude to the partners for helping the Department in wildlife protection. “The DENR is the primary government agency mandated to protect and conserve our wildlife, however, we lack the technical and financial capabilities and facilities for the conservation of Philippine Crocodile,” Director Aromin said.
The LGU shall provide sand, gravel and boulders, and heavy equipment in the construction of the facility; designate information and tourist officer, and caretaker; promote the Philippine Crocodile breeding facility as a tourist attraction; and provide additional funding for the management of the facility.
For its part, the ISU shall allow the use of the designated area of 4,000 sq.m.; provide security during the construction period; and involve students and staff in the development if tge facility as a crocodile headstart and breeding center.
The provision of funding for the main construction of the facility including technical supervision of the building and management of the facility shall be shouldered by the Mabuwaya Foundation. It shall also provide technical supervision of crocodile husbandry and handling, and continue to source funding for the facility after year 2022.
As a requirement in the establishment of wildlife centers, the DENR issued the wildlife farm permit on Nov. 13, 2017.
The DENR shall also provide logistics, technical assistance and other related services in the establishment and maintenance of the facility.
The monitoring of the facility will be jointly undertaken by LGU San Mariano, ISU Echague, Mabuwaya Foundation and the DENR.
The Philippine Crocodile is considered as one of the rarest crocodile species in the world and classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
RD Aromin urged the partners to collaborate for the success of the initiative. “Let the Philippine Crocodile Conservation Center in this Region be known and be the exemplary conservation center throughout the country,” he said.#
Isabela LGU to pilot anew land titling program in Region 2
Inspired by the full support of the local government unit in the LGU-led Titling Program, the regional environment chief announced the pilot implementation of Rapid Land Tenure Appraisal (RLTA), a systematic land titling approach, in Quirino, Isabela.
Regional Director Atty. Gil A. Aromin made this pronouncement during the awarding of land patents to 120 land owners held on Feb. 13, 2018 at the Quirino Coliseum.
The Cagayan Valley chief recalled that the partnership in land titling between the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and LGU Quirino started in 2012 when he convinced Mayor Jossie Maria Bella L. Juan to enrol in the LGU-led titling initiative of the Department. Regional Director Aromin was then the regional technical director for Land Management Sector.
The partnership resulted in the launch of the LGU-led Titling program on Sept. 25, 2013 and the signing of the Memorandum of Partnership Agreement (MOPA) on June 23, 2014 making Quirino town the pilot in Region 2.
As required in the MOPA, the LGU headed by Mayor Juan created the LGU-led Titling Office and designated personnel to operate it. The local chief executive also created the LGU-led Titling Council.
“Hindi po natatapos ang tulong ng DENR,” vowed RD Aromin as he expressed his commitment to the mayor that all untitled lots will be titled before her term ends.
“Through the partnership of the DENR and the LGU, the processing of titles has been facilitated, thus, our constituents need not undergo the long, complicated and expensive process of land titling,” Mayor Juan said.
The local chief executive added that the awarding of patents is a dream come true to her constituents who have been longing to have their lands titled.
Emphasizing the benefits of titling to the LGU, Mayor Juan said through the land titles, revenue collection in the form of real property taxes increases thereby improving economic development in the municipality.#
