TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan, July 4 (PIA) – Confiscated lumbers from the different Community Environment and Natural Resources Offices (CENROs) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) were donated to different local government units in the region for the construction of quarantine facilities.
Regional Executive Director Gwendolyn Bambalan said some lumbers were also used in the construction of quarters of law enforcers manning checkpoints in the different entry points in the region.
This is aside from the P1.15 million-worth of assorted goods from the voluntary contributions of DENR employees here which were used for the purchase of goods given to hospital’s medical workers, frontliners and less-privileged individuals of the region.
“We also volunteered some of our heavy equipment and other resources for the construction of quarantine facilities and quarters while some of our CENRO offices and other DENR-owned offices/structures served as quarantine facilities,“ Bambalan said.
She, however, said that the pandemic did not hamper the operation of the department especially in its drive against illegal logging, citing the two incidents of apprehension for the month of June. (BME/GVB PIA-2/Cagayan)
