DID YOU KNOW: April is ‘Month of Planet Earth’
April is recognized as “The Month of Planet Earth” by virtue of Proclamation No. 1482 signed on April 10, 2008 by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
The proclamation takes note of the Philippine support for the global consensus on the need to protect and save the planet from environmental degradation and to ensure a sustainable future for all.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources, together with other concerned agencies, is tasked to spearhead the activities that highlight the promotion of earth sciences toward a better society. —Marielle Medina
