Clean Air Project
Sec. Lito Atienza (left) points to Senators Loren Legarda and Pia Cayetano the colonies of illegal settlers living near the Pasig River. Atienza and Legarda both agreed that the illegal settlers be relocated to hasten the “rebirth” of the river which is now “slowly springing back to life” after being declared biologically dead 18 years ago.
Massive efforts on cleaning the air we are breathing have been put to implementation. Clean Air Laws have long been passed but may not be well executed but Sec. Lito Atienza intends to put the intelligent Laws into execution…
- Moreover, Atienza has been actively managing the rebirth of our rivers and lakes especially the Laguna Lake and Manila Bay. He has been all around the Philippines, like Baguio(Balili River), Batangas (Taal Lake), to inspect all bodies of water.All obstacles like illegally constructed fishpens hav been removed, all illegal settlers are being relocated. Massive cleaning and clearing activities are underway to start the long process of reviving all bodies of water, in cooperation with environment groups such as the Laguna Lake Development Authority and ABS-CBN Bantay Kalikasan to name a few.
- Secretary Lito Atienza warned all local executives to close down open dumpsites within their areas of jurisdiction or suffer the consequences of the law. He made the warning following reports that there remain 826 open dumpsites in various parts of the country.
- Moreover, Secretary Lito Atienza said the reported resumption of illegal logging in Dingalan, Aurora must be stopped at all costs, while those behind the nefarious activity must suffer the full force of the law. This is in reaction to published reports, which quoted a leader of Task Force Sierra Madre, that illegal loggers are again active in cutting down trees in Aurora province.
It sometimes comes to hit us that we don’t even value whatever God has given us. It’s high time that we do our share in saving our environment. The Philippines has been blessed enough to sustain our needs, no matter how populated we are. God has given us wisdom on how to take care of Mother Earth. Let us start doing our share.
