Form management body for Awai lot
CITY Mayor Benjamin S. Lim has created through Executive Order No. 208 a management advisory board for the city government-owned lot in barangay Awai in the municipality of San Jacinto to ensure compliance to the Adopt-a-Watershed/Adopt-a-Mountain project.
“There is a need to come up with policies which will bring out all potential utilization of the property that will result in the best interest of the public,” according to Lim.
The body is tasked to explain and answer queries relative to the implementation of the Adopt-a-Watershed/Adopt-a-Mountain project and to immediately address possible conflicts that may arise.
It will also submit periodic reports to proper agencies on the status of the project and make recommendations for the proper implementation of the program.
Lim tasked Sangguniang Panlungsod member Nicanor Aquino to chair the advisory board being the SP committee chair on environment and natural resources and land utilization, while Environmental Consultant Nicanor Melecio is co-chairman.
The members of the board are Dagupan City Water District General Manager Ramon Reyna, Community Environment and Natural Resources Officer Rogel Pimentel, and a representative each from the local government unit of San Jacinto and barangay Awai.
Lim earlier signed a memorandum of agreement with Reyna and Pimentel to pursue the Adopt-a-Watershed/Adopt-a-Mountain project that seek to develop Awai into a tourist forest park. Under the MOA, the DCWD which has an existing Adopt-a-Watershed project, will adopt the Awai property while the DENR which has an Adopt-a-Mountain project, will provide technical assistance.
