THE Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) has made
significant strides in its reforestation efforts, planting over 12 million
trees and mangroves nationwide since 2020. This initiative aligns with
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s call for integrating reforestation into
disaster mitigation projects says the media.
PPA's Port Management Offices (PMOs) have been instrumental in achieving
this milestone, with Surigao leading the pack by planting nearly 4.9 million
trees.
Other
top-performing PMOs include Socsargen, Agusan, Zamboanga delNorte, and Masbate.
To ensure continuous environmental stewardship, PPA has mandated tree
planting for all contracts, accreditations, and permits. This policy, anchored on Executive Order 26 and
Republic Act 9729, requires applicants and grantees to plant at least 1,000
trees or mangroves before obtaining PPA clearances.
PPA General Manager Jay Santiago emphasized the agency's commitment to
combating climate change and protecting the environment. He stressed the importance of intensifying
reforestation efforts in response to the President's call and the increasing
frequency of natural disasters.
In partnership with the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources, PPA has planted 3,000 mangroves in various provinces
setting up a good precedent.
