The information Officers' Summit aimed to convene denr mimaropa Information Officers across the region to collaboratively design the 2024 communication plan and develop the 2025 budget proposal. This gathering also provided an opportunity to orient newly designated and existing information officers with communication standards within the organization, aligning them with the directives from the Strategic Communication and Initiatives Group (SCIS). To ensure a more strategic, impactful, and well-managed approach for 2024 and 2025.

Through a guided sea educational immersion and interactive experiences with nature initiated by the LGU Puerto Galera – MENRO and Stairway Foundation, the Information Officers gained new perspectives on best practices in the conservation of the municipality’s coastal and marine ecosystems.

The DENR MIMAROPA, in partnership with Puerto Galera National High School, launched the Environmental Youth Ambassadors program to empower students to lead environmental advocacy and initiatives within their school and community. Five students were appointed to lead their school in conducting various environmental advocacies and initiatives, serving as role models for their peers, namely Rhein Grace C. Magbuhos, Yesha C. Garcia, Nikka Jane P. Pamor, Phenelope A. Garcia, and Dexter Jethro C. Enriquez. These students demonstrated a deep commitment to environmental conservation and showed leadership potential.

Through the collaboration with DENR MIMAROPA, these Youth Ambassadors receive invaluable support and mentorship, ensuring they are well-prepared and equipped with the essential knowledge and resources to successfully execute their environmental endeavors.
