Gov and the environmentalists

CEBU Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia challenged environmentalists to subsidize the cost of generating power from renewable energy sources.

Garcia said using solar or wind energy will increase the cost of power to as much as P30 to P50 per kilowatt hour.

The governor asked environmentalists, like lawyer Benjamin Cabrido, if they are willing to subsidize the cost because the government cannot.

“We can't afford to subsidize that at the expense of other social services that we must spend for," she said.

She asked environmentalists to look for a group that can subsidize the cost.

A Cebuano lawyer who is known for his causes to protect the environment has proposed for the abolition of the Department of Environment and Natural Re-sources.

Antonio Oposa, a Ramon Magsaysay Awardee in 2009, said that the DENR should be replaced with two agencies for environmental conservation and devel-opment.

The two agencies, according to Oposa, will be the National Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Natural Resources.

DENR is established by virtue of Executive Order No. 192 issued by then President Corazon C. Aquino on June 10, 1987.

Its sectoral functions include the environmental protection as well as allocating, regulating and monitoring the use and exploitation of water resources.

The department also ensures proper management of solid waste through an Integrated Solid Waste Management Program, monitors and regulates the importation, manufacture, processing, handling, storage, transportation, sale, and distribution of hazardous waste.

Meanwhile, the Climate Change Commission yesterday appealed for greater cooperation to advance its information and education advocacy on climate change and its impacts in the Philippines, as it aims for 100% awareness of Filipinos on the issue, which has been deemed as among the worst problems facing the world today.
