Sa Marikina City, problema noon ang basura na nagpapadumi ng kapaligiran at nagdudulot ng pagbaha dahil sa pagbara nito sa mga daluyan ng tubig.

Ngunit hindi lamang problema ang basura—maaari rin itong maging oportunidad para sa mas malinis at mas maunlad na komunidad.

Sa patuloy na pagpapatupad ng maayos na solid waste management, sinisikap ng lungsod na maproseso, magamit muli, at mapakinabangan ang mga basura, sa halip na mapunta ang mga ito sa kapaligiran at mga daluyan ng tubig. Alinsunod ito sa direktiba ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na panatilihing malinis at ligtas ang mga komunidad sa bansa.

Sa joint spot check ng integrated ecological solid waste management at riverway processing facilities ng Marikina City kasama si Pangulong Bongbong Marcos, binigyang-diin ni Sec. Mitch Cuna ang potensyal ng waste management bilang isang oportunidad para sa lungsod.

Nakikinabang ngayon ang mga mamamayan sa Marikina sa malinis na kapaligiran at sa mga oportunidad para sa mas matatag at sustainable na komunidad.

With heavy rains affecting parts of the country, knowing where climate risks are highest is critical to protecting communities and guiding public investments.

The DENR, under the leadership of Sec. Mitch Cuna, is strengthening provinces’ capacity through the Provincial Climate Risk Diagnostic (PCRD) Tool, which helps local governments assess climate risks, identify priority areas, and direct resources where they can have the greatest impact.

Better data means better planning, stronger resilience, and communities better prepared for climate risks.

From January to August 2026, DENR conducted 71 enforcement operations against wildlife poaching, illegal possession, and trafficking across the country.

“Protecting our wildlife requires sustained and decisive enforcement,” Sec. Mitch Cuna said. “Through sustained enforcement, strengthened coordination, proper investigation and case preparation, we remain committed to ensuring that violations of our wildlife laws are addressed and that our country’s wildlife resources are protected.”

The confiscated wildlife are turned over to appropriate DENR wildlife facilities and rehabilitation centers for proper care and assessment. When conditions allow, the animals may undergo rehabilitation and be released back into the wild.

President Bongbong Marcos is calling on cities and municipalities to adopt effective waste management systems that can help address both garbage and flooding.

The DENR is supporting LGUs in adopting these solutions so less waste ends up in our waterways, neighborhoods stay cleaner, and communities can be better prepared for flooding.

“Ito ang pinakamagandang halimbawa ng circular economy.” ♻️

Ito ang sinabi ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos sa kanyang pagbisita, kasama si DENR Sec. Mitch Cuna, sa integrated solid waste management facilities ng Marikina City.

Patuloy na itinutulak ng DENR ang mahigpit na pagpapatupad ng Ecological Solid Waste Management Act o RA 9003 at mga sistemang maaaring gawing modelo ng iba pang LGUs.

Sa pamamagitan ng segregation at source, segregated collection, at collection efficiency, nakamit ng Marikina ang 55% waste diversion rate noong 2025.

Ang Marikina ay patunay na sa maayos na sistema, at pakikiisa ng komunidad, maaaring mabawasan ang landfill dependency at gawing resources ang ating basura. 🌿

Kapag may tamang sistema, ang basura ay may panibagong gamit. ♻️

Sa Marikina City, nakita ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. kung paano nagiging konkretong solusyon ang maayos na segregation, recovery, recycling, at composting.

Sa pamumuno ni DENR Sec. Mitch Cuna, patuloy na itinutulak ng DENR ang mga solusyong nagbibigay-halaga sa basura, nagpapalakas sa mga LGU, at nagtataguyod ng circular economy. 🌿

Sec. Mitch Cuna opened the ASEAN Heritage Parks Forum 2026 in Quezon City, bringing together protected area managers, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, experts, and partners from across Southeast Asia.

The opening also featured messages from Department of Tourism - Philippines Secretary Maria Bernadita Angara-Mathay, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte, ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity Executive Director Dr. Jerome Montemayor, and ASEAN Deputy Secretary-General for the Socio-Cultural Community San Lwin.

The Philippines is home to 14 ASEAN Heritage Parks, safeguarding some of our country’s most important ecosystems.

These places are more than protected areas on a map. They help keep communities safe, provide food and livelihoods, regulate water, support biodiversity, and strengthen resilience to climate change.

The Forum puts communities at the heart of conservation, recognizing the people who live in and depend on these ecosystems as essential partners in protecting them.

As ASEAN Chair, the Philippines is working with its neighbors to strengthen cooperation, share solutions, and ensure that protected areas are not only protected on paper, but effectively managed on the ground. 🇵🇭

The Philippine Eagle’s survival is threatened when the forests it depends on are lost or degraded. Protecting these habitats goes beyond protected-area boundaries.

With 46% of its high-suitability nesting habitat found within indigenous ancestral domains, indigenous stewardship is critical to protecting these landscapes.

In line with President Bongbong Marcos' directive, the DENR, together with Philippine Eagle Foundation, United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, Global Environment Facility, the and other partners, launched a community-led conservation planning initiative for selected ancestral domains in the Eastern Mindanao Biodiversity Corridor.

By combining indigenous knowledge with conservation science, communities can help protect critical habitats and the forests they sustain.
