Environment Secretary Gina Lopez welcomes a member of an indigenous group who attended the first People’s Day held Wednesday (August 10) at the DENR central office in Quezon City. Around a hundred individuals from various sectors, including indigenous peoples, non-government organizations and other ordinary citizens, came either to present the concerns of their communities or extend their support to the new administration through partnership. On hand to assist Lopez in responding to issues raised are key officials of the department, including those of bureaus and attached agencies. Lopez said that henceforth, People’s Day will held every Wednesday in all DENR offices nationwide to allow officials and employees to address public concerns and queries. Aside from “People’s Day”, the public can call or text, 0917-552-9344, or send an email to aksyonkalikasan@denr.gov.ph for their concerns. ###
