The President held her weekly meeting on climate change and reforestation inside the MOP, right in front of giant aquariums that contained rare and endangered species of fish, manta rays, sharks and other ocean dwellers while listening to the briefing conducted by Presidential Adviser on Climate Change Mitigation Secretary Heherson Alvarez in the company of Manila Mayor Alfredo S. Lim, Congressmen Amado Bagatsing (5th district) and Jaime Lopez (2nd District).
She asked Mayor Lim to ensure that MRF and recycling facilities will be set up in all barangays of Manila, in keeping with the mandate of the Clean Air Act.
The President agreed with the suggestion of Alvarez to make the MOP a showcase for schoolchildren on the importance of preserving the environment, especially the marine habitat, to mitigate global warming and climate change.
?If we only show to the children, through field trips here, how important the marine biodiversity and forest resources are in mitigating climate change, then they will exert their best effort not to destroy the Earth?s environment,? the President said.
She said the MRF?s to be put up do not have to be very big. ?In fact the MRF varies in sizes and costs. They could be anywhere from 10 square meters costing P200,000 to 200 square meter costing P2 million. But what?s important is we reduce the waste we put into landfills,? the President emphasized.
She then cited the MRFs put up at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources compound (to cater to nearby Philippine Information Agency compound and the Barangay Vasra along Visayas Avenue); the MRF in Philamlife Village and in Malacanang Complex.
Mayor Lim told the President that one MRF was put up in the Cardinal Sin Village but it is not operating yet because the residents complain about the noxious smell.
She also asked Alvarez and Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Lito Atienza to provide the forum whereby barangays and schools that are already practicing climate change mitigation measures can share their ?best practices? with those which are not yet doing these initiatives. She particularly wants a knowledge sharing in areas like MRF installations, garbage segregation and recycling and converting plastics into concrete materials for hollow blocks and styropors into sealants.
?Often there is just very little awareness of these things and when they learn of the benefits that these would bring to their barangays and schools, then they adopt to it more easily,? the President said.
