SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — 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 support the construction, repair, and improvement of public school facilities.
The turnover, facilitated by the DENR Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Pilar, was formalized through the signing of a Deed of Donation, underscoring the continuing partnership between DENR and DepEd in maximizing government resources for public education and community development.
According to CENRO Pilar Chief Marivic Santos, the donated logs were sourced 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.
DENR Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo emphasized that 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 ended.
