𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐎, 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 — The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), together with local government personnel, wildlife responders, and coastal communities, rescued and returned two marine turtles to the sea following rough coastal conditions brought by the southwest monsoon in Barangay La Paz, San Narciso, Zambales.

Edward Sernadilla, head of the DENR Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Olongapo City, said Pawikan Rangers rescued and assessed a 13-centimeter juvenile hawksbill turtle (𝘌𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘺𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘢) after it washed ashore before safely returning it to the sea.

Sernadilla said responders later rescued a 50-centimeter olive ridley turtle (𝘓𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘺𝘴 𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘢) after finding it entangled in discarded fishing net near the local fish landing area. The turtle sustained deep wounds on its flippers and a chip on its carapace and received treatment and rehabilitation at the PawiCare Conservation Site.

PawiCare personnel, together with DENR staff, conducted the turtle’s physical and health assessment and fitted it with identification tag PH 1070A before its release.

San Narciso Mayor La-Rainne Abad Sarmiento led the release of the rehabilitated turtle, joined by representatives from the DENR, Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office, Bureau of Fire Protection, Philippine National Police, Philippine Coast Guard, and other wildlife responders.

DENR Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo said the immediate action of residents and wildlife responders helped ensure that the stranded turtles received appropriate care and returned safely to their natural habitat.

Pablo urged coastal communities to promptly report stranded, injured, or entangled marine turtles to the DENR, local environment offices, or trained wildlife responders for proper assessment and handling.

DENR Zambales Provincial Head Marife Castillo commended the residents, fellow state workers, and Pawikan Rangers for their quick action in responding to the stranded turtles.

Castillo reminded the public not to handle or release stranded or injured marine turtles on their own, particularly when the animals are entangled in fishing gear, and to seek assistance from trained responders.

The incident also underscored the threat posed by discarded fishing gear, or ghost gear, which can entangle and injure marine animals. The DENR urged coastal communities and fishing groups to properly manage fishing gear and report marine wildlife incidents to the appropriate authorities. (-30-)

𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐎, 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 — A long-tailed macaque (𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘢𝘤𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴) and two venomous snakes were released into suitable natural habitats after being rescued in Pilar, Bataan.

The long-tailed macaque, locally known as unggoy, was surrendered by a concerned citizen to the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) of Pilar. It was later turned over to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through its community office in Pilar for proper care and assessment.

Meanwhile, the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in Pilar turned over a Philippine cobra (𝘕𝘢𝘫𝘢 𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴) and a king cobra (𝘖𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘢) to the DENR Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO).

CENRO Pilar head Marivic Santos reported that the three animals were documented and assessed to determine their condition and suitability for release. Following evaluation, they were released into habitats considered appropriate for their respective species.

“We ensured the animals were handled safely during rescue, transport and release to reduce stress and protect both the wildlife and responders,” Santos said.

The rescued species are protected under Republic Act No. 9147, or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act of 2001, which prohibits unauthorized collection, possession, transport, or trade of wildlife.

According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, the long-tailed macaque is classified as endangered, the Philippine cobra as near threatened, and the king cobra as vulnerable. The three species are also listed as “other threatened species” under DENR Administrative Order 2019-09.

Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo urged the public not to capture or handle wildlife, particularly venomous snakes.

“We urge residents to immediately report wildlife sightings to the DENR, local government units, or other authorities. Continued support for conservation through habitat protection and the reporting of illegal wildlife activities is vital to safeguarding both wildlife and communities,” Pablo ended. (-30-)

𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐑, 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌𝐒 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓 𝐙𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐎𝐎𝐋𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. Farmers in Botolan, Zambales are set to benefit from new farming equipment provided through a partnership between the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) here and two mining companies, aimed at improving agricultural productivity and strengthening community-based livelihoods.

Marife Castillo, DENR provincial head in Zambales, said the DENR, Zambales Diversified Metals Corporation (ZDMC), and Zambales Chromite Mining Company, Inc. (ZCMCI) turned over farming implements and equipment to the Loob-Bunga Agro-Ecotourism Farmers Association, Inc. during a ceremony held in Barangay Nacolcol.

“The assistance is expected to help the farmers improve their agricultural activities and ease the labor requirements of farm work, while providing them with additional capacity to pursue agro-ecotourism and other community-based livelihood activities,” Castillo explained.

The turnover was formalized through a Memorandum of Agreement among the participating parties. Under the agreement, the farmers’ association will also be responsible for the maintenance and protection of a 9-hectare National Greening Program bamboo plantation within its area of responsibility.

DENR Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo said livelihood support can help communities become more capable partners in environmental protection.

“This is more than just a turnover of tools. It is an investment in the future of Zambales. By aligning community initiatives with sustainable forest management, we ensure that agro-ecotourism becomes a lasting source of livelihood while preserving our natural heritage for generations to come,” Pablo said.

The initiative forms part of the DENR’s continuing efforts to promote sustainable livelihood opportunities among communities engaged in forest management. Through partnerships with the private sector and local communities, the DENR seeks to strengthen the capacity of people’s organizations to develop productive enterprises while helping protect and sustainably manage forest resources.

𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐎, 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 — Personnel from the City Government of Baliwag turned over three healthy Brahminy Kites (𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴) to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) after the birds were recovered in Barangay Sabang.

Dennis Vergara, head of the DENR Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) Baliwag, reported that the birds were initially surrendered to personnel from the city government by a concerned local citizen.

Following the turnover, Wildlife Enforcement Officers (WEO) conducted a physical assessment and found the birds active, healthy, and uninjured.

Vergara said that, after the three raptors were found fit for release, the WEO team transported them to Biak-na-Bato National Park, where they were released back into their natural habitat.

The Brahminy Kite is classified as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. While it is not classified as a threatened species under the Philippines’ national list, the species remains protected under Republic Act No. 9147, or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act of 2001.

DENR Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo underscored the importance of public vigilance and prompt coordination with environmental authorities in ensuring that displaced wildlife are properly assessed and safely returned to their natural habitat.

He also expressed appreciation for the concerned citizen and local government personnel who helped facilitate the birds’ turnover to the DENR.

Pablo reminded the public to report displaced or injured wildlife to the proper authorities and to refrain from keeping or handling wildlife without the necessary authorization.

The DENR reiterated that the collection, hunting, possession, or trade of wildlife without the required permits or authority is prohibited under Republic Act No. 9147, which provides for the conservation and protection of wildlife and their habitats and regulates the collection, possession, transport, and trade of wildlife.

The public is likewise encouraged to report sightings of displaced or injured wildlife to the nearest DENR office or appropriate environmental authorities to help ensure their proper handling and safe return to their natural habitat. (-30-)

𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐎, 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 — The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) here has partnered with private companies to strengthen forest rehabilitation efforts in Doña Remedios Trinidad (DRT), Bulacan.

The DENR, through its Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Baliwag, recently signed three Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) with Eagle Cement Corporation (ECC) and Solid North Mineral Corporation (SNMC) for the adoption of 281 hectares of National Greening Program (NGP) plantation sites in Barangay Kalawakan.

Under the agreements, ECC will adopt an 11-hectare site in Sitio Catampacan, while SNMC will adopt 270 hectares in Sitios Tubigan and Calumpit.

CENRO Baliwag Head Dennis Vergara said the private partners will provide financial and technical support for the rehabilitation and management of the adopted areas, including planting, maintenance, protection, monitoring, and replanting when the survival rate falls below the prescribed 85% threshold.

The DENR, for its part, will provide technical assistance, prepare plantation development plans, and conduct monitoring and evaluation to help ensure the proper implementation and management of the adopted sites.

DENR Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo said the partnership will help mobilize additional resources and technical expertise needed to strengthen forest rehabilitation efforts.

“Forest rehabilitation is a shared responsibility. Through partnerships such as this, we can bring together the technical expertise and resources of government and the private sector toward a common goal of restoring degraded areas and ensuring that our forests remain healthy, productive, and protected for future generations,” Pablo said.

Meanwhile, PENRO Bulacan Rolly Mulato emphasized that the agreements mark a long-term commitment to protect and manage the adopted areas.

“The signing of these MOAs is not simply about planting trees. It is about making a long-term commitment to nurture, protect, and manage these areas. Together with our private partners and other stakeholders, we will work to ensure that the plantations are properly maintained and that today’s investments contribute to healthier forests in the years to come,” Mulato said.

The partnership supports the objectives of the NGP to increase forest cover and contribute to climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, environmental stability, and sustainable development. (-30-)

𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐎, 𝐏𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐀 — The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) here has received the newly constructed Protected Area Information Center (PAIC) at Biak-na-Bato National Park (BNBNP), a facility donated by Eagle Cement Corporation (ECC) under its corporate social responsibility program.

The PAIC will serve as a hub for environmental education, visitor information and park management activities.

Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo added that the new facility is designed to strengthen the management and protection of BNBNP while boosting its potential as a premier ecotourism destination.

“This milestone represents a shared vision of stewardship, sustainability and responsibility. We are grateful to Eagle Cement and all our partners for their generosity. They have shown that the private sector can be a true ally in conservation,” Pablo said.

Meanwhile, ECC Plant Manager Geneser Aves reaffirmed its long-term commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development, adding that it is in talks with DENR for the construction of additional facilities in the protected area.

The turnover ceremony was led by Pablo and Aves. They were joined by Rolly Mulato, DENR Bulacan provincial environment and natural resources officer; Dennis Vergara, DENR community environment and natural resources officer; Vincent Legarde, Bulacan provincial environmental management officer; and members of the SAMAKABA Association People’s Organization.

Declared a national park in 1937 through Proclamation No. 223 by President Manuel Quezon and currently covered by Proclamation No. 401, BNBNP is both a historic landmark and a biodiversity haven. The park is home to diverse animal species, including the endemic Biak na Bato limestone frog, Luzon hornbill and Philippine warty pig.

With the PAIC now operational, it is expected to enhance ecotourism, foster community participation and help preserve BNBNP’s ecological and cultural treasures for future generations. (-30-)

𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐑, 𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐁 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐔𝐏 𝐏𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒. In a joint cleanup drive to clear waterways of Pampanga, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) here and the Rotary Club hauled more than 250 sacks of wastes along rivers and roadsides of Barangay Calulut in the City of San Fernando.

During the cleanup activity conducted along Sapang Balen River, the river rangers of DENR provincial office in Pampanga and members of the Rotary Club of Southern Pampanga collected various residual and recyclable wastes composed of packaging materials, single-use plastics, slippers, styrofoam, old clothes, diaper and sanitary napkins, and plastic and glass bottles.

Additionally, biodegradable wastes such as grass, tree stems and branches, and kitchen wastes were collected in the area.

DENR Pampanga Provincial Head Roger Encarnacion highlighted that the initiative aims to help reduce flooding in the city by clearing waterways and roads of waste and debris.

"Beyond removing waste, this kind cleanup drive is about keeping our waterways free-flowing, reducing flood risks, and fostering a whole-of-society approach in protecting Pampanga’s rivers, where everyone do their part by managing their waste properly and taking accountability for the trash they generate everyday," Encarnacion noted.

As part of the campaign, the DENR reminds the public that proper waste management is a shared responsibility under the Republic Act No. 9003, or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, which promotes waste segregation, recycling and responsible disposal. The agency urged communities to comply with the law and help keep waterways, roads and public spaces clean and free of waste. (-30-)

Three reticulated pythons (𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘰𝘱𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴) were safely rescued and turned over to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) following the prompt response of Angeles City government personnel to reports from residents about the snakes found in separate private residences.

Personnel from the Angeles City Veterinary Office and the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), together with barangay officials, responded to reports of the snakes in Barangays Tabun, Pulungbulo, and Pulung Maragul.

The barangay officials promptly secured the reptiles and voluntarily turned them over to the city government offices for proper handling and assessment.

DENR Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo said the Angeles City government coordinated with the DENR Conservation and Development Division for the proper assessment and disposition of the rescued wildlife.

“Following the wildlife assessment, the snakes were found to be healthy and unharmed and were immediately turned over to the nearest rescue center in Clark, Pampanga, where they will receive appropriate care, rehabilitation, and monitoring,” Pablo said.

Pablo commended the concerned barangay officials and Angeles City government personnel for their prompt and responsible response, noting that timely reporting and proper coordination are essential in ensuring both public safety and wildlife welfare.

While the reticulated python is classified as a species of Least Concern under the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, it remains protected under Republic Act No. 9147, or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act.

The law provides for the conservation and protection of wildlife species and their habitats, and regulates the possession, collection, transport, and handling of wildlife.

“We continuously urge the public to immediately inform local government officials or the nearest DENR office upon encountering wild animals. Timely reports allow authorities to respond appropriately and help ensure the safety of both communities and wildlife,” Pablo ended. (-30-)
