The 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 (𝗠𝗛) 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿 (𝗣𝗖𝗢) 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 officially commenced today, October 26, at the Human Resource Training Center (HRTC), Basco, Batanes, bringing together representatives from various government agencies and private establishments committed to environmental protection and compliance.

The opening program was graced by Governor Jun Aguto, who expressed his appreciation to the trainers and participants for their valuable contribution and demonstrated commitment to protecting Batanes’ pristine environment.

STOO Maria Rhodina Barsana Aguto, on behalf of the Provincial Heritage and Tourism Office (PHTO), warmly welcomed the trainers and participants and extended her gratitude to the Philippine Center for Environmental Awareness and Sustainability (PCEAS) for accommodating the Provincial Government of Batanes’ counterparting arrangement. This partnership makes the training more affordable and accessible to Batanes stakeholders, bringing essential knowledge and capacity-building opportunities closer to home.

With an overwhelming turnout of 75 participants against the expected 40, the training highlights the growing commitment of local agencies and establishments to responsible environmental management.

On the first day, participants in the Managing Head training received their certificates of completion, while the Pollution Control Officer trainees will continue their intensive five-day training until October 30.

More than a compliance requirement, this initiative reinforces a shared commitment to safeguarding Batanes’ natural heritage through responsible practices, environmental stewardship, and sustainable development.

Together, let us protect what makes Batanes extraordinary! 🌱
