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
