BALANGA CITY — The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has donated 10 cubic meters of logs to the Department of Education (DepEd) Bataan Eastern District to upgrade public school facilities in the province.
Facilitated by the DENR Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Pilar, the turnover was formalized through the signing of a Deed of Donation, highlighting the continued partnership between DENR and DepEd in maximizing government resources for education and community development.
CENRO Pilar chief Marivic Santos said the donated logs came from lawful tree-cutting activities within the office’s jurisdiction and were assessed as suitable for public use.
“The donated materials will be used for the construction, repair, and improvement of school facilities, including ceilings, tables, and other essential fixtures. Through this initiative, we hope to help provide students with a safer and more conducive learning environment,” Santos said.
The initiative supports the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s efforts to improve learning environments through efficient resource utilization and stronger collaboration among government agencies.
DENR Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo said the donation reflects the agency’s commitment to responsible resource management while advancing whole-of-government efforts to improve public services.
“This initiative demonstrates how responsibly managed forest resources can create meaningful benefits beyond environmental stewardship. By supporting our public schools, we are investing in the education of our youth while reinforcing the value of collaboration among government agencies in serving our communities,” Pablo said.
The turnover reflects the government’s commitment to responsible resource management in support of public education and community infrastructure.
