Excerpt

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has allotted P90 million to the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in this city to undertake a “rigid rehabilitation and reforestation” of 2,800 hectares of coastal marsh land areas in this city. Zamboanga City CENRO chief Ben Acana said the mangrove rehabilitation and reforestation effort including the rehabilitation of beach forest is part of the National Greening Program (NGP) of the national government, one of the pet program of President Benigno Aquino III. Acana said the program’s funding will come from the DENR regional office in the Zamboanga peninsula or Region 9.
