“The free flow of information on matters of public concern is crucial to maintaining an informed community.”
With this in mind, I wish to extend my greetings to the publication “Kalikasan” which has been dishing out important information on environment matters, including government policy relating to the environment, by which the citizenry at large may be guided.
As a newsletter of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Isabela, it understandably reflects the stand and sentiments of the DENR leadership and programs in the province, which is in consonance with the DENR national office, but this does not diminish the value of news and information regularly fed to its recipients.
I hope “Kalikasan,” as the name connotes, always advocates environmental protection, one of which is to continue empowering the community with appropriate information that would encourage them to involve themselves in such endeavors. Indeed, community participation can only be achieved and maximized through a well-informed community.
On behalf of The Philippine STAR, may I therefore extend to those men and women behind “Kalikasan” my warmest greetings on your 13th year. May you have many more years of bringing enlightenment to your clientele as well as to your neighboring citizens.
May I also reiterate our enduring partnership, along with other media partners towards our common mission of preserving and nurturing Mother Nature.
