Of the total donated volume, 10 cubic meters were turned over to BFP Orani, while 30 cubic meters each were given to the AFP 84th Infantry (Victorious) Battalion, Charlie Company, and the BJMP.
The logs, with an equivalent volume of more than 29,600 board feet, were turned over to the DENR from approved tree-cutting permits and will be used for lawful government purposes, including the operational and logistical requirements of the recipient agencies.
DENR Bataan chief Raul Mamac said the donation reflects the Departmentโs commitment to responsible forest resource management.
Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo said the initiative also highlights the importance of maximizing government resources through inter-agency collaboration.
โThe DENR remains committed to the responsible and transparent use of forest products for the public good. Through strong partnerships with fellow government agencies, we help support community safety while reinforcing our shared responsibility to protect natural resources,โ Pablo ended.
