Pampanga Board fine-tunes proposed environmental code

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO–Third District Board Member and Chairman on Committee on Environment Nestor “Bay” Tolentino expressed optimism on the approval of the first ever environmental code which aims to address the growing problem on environmental issues specifically on solid waste system.
In an interview, Tolentino said that last Friday the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) called a committee hearing on all concerned stakeholders for the final deliberation of the environmental code which would regulate law on environmental management.
“We called all concerned stakeholders to fine tune the implementing rules and regulations of the environmental code and also to draw more suggestions from them before its passage on the Sangguniang Panlalawigan level, “ Tolentino said.
He said that as chairman of the Committee on Environment he is hopeful that the first ever provincial environmental code will be enacted in the first half of January 2013.
Meantime, Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (ENRO) is optimistic that the SP will approve the provincial environmental code which aims to protect the province from the effects of the global warming.
ENRO head Engr. Arthur Punsalan said Governor Lilia G. Pineda and Vice Governor Joseller “Yeng” Guiao strongly support the passage of the vital legislative measures on environment.
Punsalan said the environmental code, the first ever streamlined, consolidated and comprehensive provincial environment code is “encompassing” to address the problem on all illegal activities concerning environmental protection like illegal fishing and quarrying.
“The proposed environment code is comprehensive and encompassing as it covers air, water, land resources use and all aspects of environmental management,” Punsalan added.
Earlier, Tolentino said the code is centralized around the “powers of the governor and Capitol,” and was created based on existing environment and other laws as its backbone.
“Our environment code took into consideration many existing laws like republic acts on solid waste management, wildlife resources conservation, toxic substances, small-scale mining , protection of caves and cave resources, Philippine Fisheries Code , Local Government Code, Water Code, Anti-Illegal Logging, coastal management, environmental impact system and even our local tax ordinances on quarrying to name a few. Also, the members of the technical working group are representative of all stakeholders involved as environmental management, protection and preservation is everyone’s concern,” Tolentino furthered.
Experts from the Department of Agriculture, Department of Public Works and Highways, Bureau of Fisheries and local government officials also attended the committee hearing.
“We want to involve everyone in this very critical code on our environment so we can further streamline it and customize it for the province’s needs, so much so that local government units without an environmental code could adopt it or use it as a parallel law. What is important here is to regulate and implement laws ‘with teeth’ to manage our environmental resources,” Tolentino added.
Under the code’s provision a proposed provincial environmental clearance certificate or PECC acquisition facility is also included in the code.
“That will be a first if approved. Industries or players in the industry will have to secure a PECC from Capitol because we really want to regulate everything when it comes to the environment. We will be able to gain headway with the approval and implementation of the environment code. We are optimistic about this,” Punsalan said earlier. ● Marna Dagumboy-del Rosario
