Green Philippines Plan

While I really don't know enough to evaluate the Green Plan I do think that the government should plan to hire a different person to format the messages. Do we really need

PGMA: "Green Philippines Plan" now being implemented
Manila (8 March) -- The Arroyo administration has started implementing the "Green Philippines Plan" – the macro blueprint for mapping the country's environment and economic policies.

Manila (8 March) -- This was announced by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo when she sent off last Thursday (March 6th) at Villamor Air Base in Pasay City the "Sagip-Tulong ni PGMA Caravan" that brought emergency relief to the residents of flood-devastated Eastern Samar in Region 8 or Eastern Visayas.

Manila (8 March) -- In her speech at the relief goods send-off at the fixed-wing hangar of the Presidential Airlift Wing (PAW), President Arroyo enumerated her administration's "initiatives that seek to protect the fragile ecosystems in Central Philippines, as part of the responsibility of the Philippines to future generations."

Manila (8 March) -- "Protecting the environment is one of our top priorities. An example of our efforts to preserve the 'Green Philippines' is our support for the Samar Island protected area, the Southern Leyte ecosystem, and the Bicol River Basin…"

Manila (8 March) -- The President then revealed that the bigger environmental sustainability plan for the entire country is now in the works:

Manila (8 March) -- "On a broader scale, we have also begun the Green Philippines Plan, a blueprint for mapping our environment and economic policies that will allow for sustainable development that does not fall on the backs of the poor or erode our environment."

Manila (8 March) -- The President, however, stressed that "there is a cost to make the Green Philippines come to life."

Manila (8 March) -- "For instance, the enforcement against logging in the Samar Island protected area, the relocation of the Ginsaungon, Southern Leyte families to a new community, and the P250-million budget this year for the Bicol River Basin."

Manila (8 March) -- But, President Arroyo pointed out, "the cost is greater without the plan and the investment in our people and our environment."

Manila (8 March) -- Braving incessant rains that inundated the eastern seaboard of Region 8, President Arroyo visited Eastern Samar in mid-February, bringing goods for almost 35,000 people.

Manila (8 March) -- Each victim municipality also received from the President "a share of the 500 kilos of seaweed seed stock worth P75 million to help the victims back on their feet."

Manila (8 March) -- The President has also "ordered the line agencies to effect as soon as possible the rehabilitation of all the provinces on the eastern seaboard hit by the heavy rains, especially the repair of roads and other infrastructure needed to return normalcy."

Manila (8 March) -- Noting that the Philippines is prone to natural calamities such as flooding, landslides and earthquakes, and that these are caused in large part by climate change and global warming, the President assured that her administration has "taken and will continue to take actions to mitigate the pain on our people."

Manila (8 March) -- "Malakas at lumalagong ekonomiya ang sinisikap nating ilikha upang makatulong na tiyakin ang kapayapaan, katiwasayan at katatagan sa ating bansa (We are working hard towards attaining a strong and growing economy to ensure peace and security).

Manila (8 March) -- "Ito ang dahilan kung bakit bumabangon tayo araw-araw para kumayod at mag-focus parang laser beam para ayusin ang ating ekonomiya. Gumawa tayo ng mahihirap at di popular na mga desisyong itaas ang buwis, at hulihin ang mga nandadaya sa buwis, para tayo ay makapuhunan sa ating imprastraktura at sa ating taong bayan."

Manila (8 March) -- As for projects whose gains would surely trickle down to local populations, the President pointed to the surfing tourism business in Guiuan, Eastern Samar, where the administration has brought in investors for the purpose of creating jobs and ensuring a more predictable life for countryside folk.
