Philippine News Headline | Surigao City - The provincial government of Surigao del Norte headed by Governor Robert Ace S. Barbers has declared an all-out war against violators of the environment.
The provincial government is taking a vigorous stand in its efforts towards protecting and managing its environment and natural resources through the Advocacy for a Clean Environment and its Sustainability (ACES) Program.
Barbers utilized all law enforcement agencies such as Philippine National Police (PNP), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) for the no non-sense drive against environment violators.
"We are dead-serious in enforcing environment laws, rules and regulations", stressed Barbers, in a meeting with the officials from different local and national line agencies here.
He said the provincial government is very much concerned in the environment preservation and forest protection and that they need the help of the officials in their undertakings.
