Angeles City youth urged to help save environment
ANGELES CITY – Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan called on the youth of Angeles City to intensify their support on protecting the environment, even as he expressed concern over the possible cutting of decades-old trees along the MacArthur Highway because of a road-widening project of the national government.
In a speech before students of the College of Engineering and Architecture of the Holy Angel University, Pamintuan said that insofar as policy and regulations are concerned, Angeles City has all the policy and regulatory requirements to protect the environment.
But he stressed these policies and regulations can only be effective if supported by the people.
“We have launched programs that involve the mobilization of our people, including the youth, because we know that we can address the issues on the environment only through the involvement and cooperation of everyone. We have launched the One Million Trees program, whose aim is to plant one million trees in our city,” he said.
He expressed elation over the support of various sectors, particularly the youth, on the tree planting program.
“But as we are planting trees, I am disturbed that decades-old and ancient acacia trees along MacArthur Highway that traverses our city have been marked “X” – meaning they are going to be cut because of a road-widening project by the national government,” he said.
About 400 trees, according to him, may be affected by the project.
“Although I believe and support infrastructure development, such development should always consider its impact on the environment. I cannot, in conscience, allow the cutting of these magnificent acacia trees, while we are ironically involved in an aggressive tree planting program,” he stressed.
Pamintuan said he will not issue any permit to cut the trees.
“I am inclined not to, unless they present to me a workable alternative to save these trees, even as the road-widening project proceeds,” he added.
Pamintuan also cited the many environment-related projects consistent with the policies, regulations and programs the city have adopted.
Among them are the clean-up of waterways, particularly Sapang Balen and Abacan River; waste segregation; anti-littering; zero-waste management; limiting if not banning the use of certain plastics and Styrofoam products, among others.
“However, the key to the implementation of these programs and projects is the involvement of our people. Even as we already experience the severe backlash of our neglect and abuse of the environment, still many of our people, sadly including many of our poorer sectors, still fail to appreciate these efforts. Which is why the involvement of the youth in rousing up, in educating, and in mobilizing our people on environment concerns is very important,” Pamintuan said. ●Charlene Cayabyab
