CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) here donated 4,240 board feet of assorted logs to the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to support the improvement of its personnel welfare facilities at the Fleet Education, Training and Doctrine Development Institute (FETDDI) in Balagtas, Bulacan.
The subject wood materials were turned over by one of the Tree Cutting Permittees to DENR through its Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Baliwag.
The donation was formalized through a Deed of Donation signed by CENRO Baliwag Head Dennis Vergara and Commodore Roderick Elioran of PCG-FETDDI.
The donated forest products will be utilized for the improvement of infrastructure and welfare facilities that support the training and readiness of PCG personnel.
DENR Regional Executive Director Ralph C. Pablo emphasized that the initiative demonstrates the government’s commitment to responsible resource management while strengthening inter-agency cooperation.
“This donation reflects our shared responsibility to ensure that turned-over and confiscated forest products are put to beneficial use and preserve the economic value while upholding forest protection. Through continued collaboration with the PCG, we strengthen institutional partnerships that support both environmental protection and national service,” Pablo ended.
The DENR continues to enforce forest protection laws and ensures that turned-over and confiscated forest products are used to benefit government programs and public service institutions.
