The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Central Visayas will deputize people in the communities to help enforce environmental laws especially those pertaining to clean and sustainable water and solid waste management. As part of efforts to upgrade the water quality of 10 rivers in Central Visayas, provincial environment officers in Cebu, Bohol, Negros Oriental and Siquijor have entered the waterways into the Rivers for Life 2019 awards that would advance community and stakeholder empowerment. DENR Regional Executive Director Gilbert Gonzales said the Rivers for Life awards is a regional and national competition among 10 rivers in Central Visayas.
