The Provincial Environment and Natural Resources (PENR) Office in Nueva Vizcaya forged today a Memorandum of Partnership Agreement (MOPA) with the 203rd Community Defense Center (CDC) of the Philippine Army (PA) for forest development at the DENR Ecological Park and Training Center in Aritao town.
PENR Officer Giovannie Magat and CDC director Bernard Ragus inked the MOPA to enrich the existing plantations and regreen denuded lands and cogonal areas within the eight municipalities covered by the PENR Sub-Office.
"The DENR is always ready to extend technical assistance in your endeavors and provide you quality planting materials to ensure high survival of your plantations," said Engr. Magat expressing his support to the greening endeavors of the PA.
He further appealed for the support of the uniformed personnel in forest development and protection.
For his part, Col. Ragus assured their commitment to the environment programs through 'bayanihan spirit'.
Former Provincial Board Member Flodemonte Gerdan, an army reservist, also expressed his hopes that illegal activities within the forest plantations will stop through the partnership.#
