Excerpt
Rotary District 3810, led by District Governor Odie Tarriela, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) supporting the activities, programs and projects of the department for the next 10 years. The signing took place at the Manila Yatch Club on Sept. 19. Tarriela also presented a pledge of support to DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu for his relentless effort to clean and restore the slowly dying Manila Bay. “DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu is instrumental in carrying out the Supreme Court Mandamus ordering 13 government agencies to clean up, rehabilitate and preserve Manila Bay. The mandamus was long neglected since 2008, and Manila Bay continued to deteriorate over the years,” commented Manila Yacht Club commodore and Rotary Club of Manila president Robert Lim Joseph Jr. Tarriela signed the MOU on behalf of the 116 Rotary Club presidents of District 3810.
