A new collaboration on forest and natural resource management in the Bangsamoro Region was formalized on September 2, 2026, as UPLB and the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources, and Energy of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MENRE-BARMM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the Executive Conference Room, BM Gonzalez Hall. https://uplb.edu.ph/all-news/uplb-menre-ink-partnership-for-forest-and-natural-resources/

Today, we observe the celebration of the ๐ˆ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐ƒ๐š๐ฒ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‚๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ง ๐€๐ข๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ž ๐’๐ค๐ข๐ž๐ฌ, and the haze we have been experiencing over the past few days serves as a stark reminder that climate action and the pursuit of cleaner air are change and the push for better air are intrinsically linked, a message underscored by this yearโ€™s theme โ€œ๐‚๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ง ๐€๐ข๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐‚๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐€๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐งโ€.

This is transboundary haze, a powerful and timely reminder of the interconnected nature of our environment and the urgent need for collective action. There could hardly be a more compelling circumstance to underscore the significance of today's observance.

Forest and peatland fires across our neighboring country of Indonesia have been burning since late August, and the habagat has caused the haze to settle over much of the Luzon region and parts of the Visayas. The DENR-EMB Air Quality Monitoring stations have registered โ€œacutely unhealthyโ€ levels as of September 1, with particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or smaller (PM2.5) at over four times the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline value, with most of the Philippine population being advised to wear masks to protect themselves from the air they breathe.

The cause of these unfortunate events is the same. Forest fires deliberately set for land clearing are further intensified by El Niรฑo conditions and a warming climate. What we are witnessing is therefore not only an air quality emergency, but also a climate crisis.

The haze now enveloping much of the Philippines' airspace may not have originated within our borders. Yet it reaches us as a direct consequence of land use practices, governance gaps, and a changing climate that recognizes no boundaries.

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌโ€™ ๐‘๐ž๐ฉ๐ฎ๐›๐ฅ๐ข๐œ ๐€๐œ๐ญ ๐๐จ. ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ—, ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ž ๐‚๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ง ๐€๐ข๐ซ ๐€๐œ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ—, remains the cornerstone of our national air quality management framework. It mandates the DENR-EMB to establish an air quality monitoring network to regularly measure and report air quality conditions in key areas, while providing mechanisms for enforcing emission reduction measures and standards. Importantly, the law also recognizes that air pollution can transcend national boundaries and provides for bilateral and multilateral cooperation in addressing transboundary air pollution.

At the regional level, ASEAN Member States has adopted the ๐€๐’๐„๐€๐ ๐€๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐ง ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ฌ๐›๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ซ๐ฒ ๐‡๐š๐ณ๐ž ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ, which has since been ratified by all ASEAN member states. The agreement commits governments to prevent and monitor land and forest fires and to cooperate in responding to haze when it crosses national borders. What is happening now is precisely the kind of situation the agreement was designed to address. Its implementation and the political will to uphold its commitments will continue to be tested as climate and land-use pressures increase the likelihood of similar incidents.

Meanwhile, ๐‘๐€ ๐๐จ. ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ๐Ÿ— ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐‚๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐‚๐ก๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž ๐€๐œ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ— establishes the policy framework for addressing climate risks, including those associated with drought, land degradation, and extreme fire conditions. It also calls for climate adaptation to be integrated into land-use planning and natural resource management.

The climate risks we face today require science-based policy responses, not merely emergency advisories.

At the FDC, we are committed to bridging science and policy and advancing evidence-based solutions to emerging challenges in forest and natural resources governance.

The UPLB Forestry Development Center (FDC) proudly congratulates Dr. Elenita L. Racelis for receiving the Best Presentation Award during the 8th Asia Future Conference, held on 25โ€“29 August 2026 in Sendai, Japan.

Dr. Racelis received the award for the study, โ€œValuing Carbon Credits from Highland Forests in the Philippines: A Basis for Conservation and Sustainable Management,โ€ co-authored with Dr. Diomedes A. Racelis and For. Aldin C. Alegre.

This recognition highlights her valuable contribution to advancing research on forest carbon valuation, conservation, and sustainable forest management, helping strengthen the scientific basis for innovative approaches to protecting the Philippinesโ€™ highland forests.

Your FDC family celebrates this remarkable achievement and is proud of you!

From a courtesy call to exploration and conceptualization! ๐ŸŒฑ

A productive and inspiring meeting with Dr. Ernie Guiang, PCAARRD-TTPD Unit, IAF Team, and FDC staff to explore researchable priority areas in agroforestry and potential funding support from DOST-PCAARRD.

Dr. Guiangโ€™s engagement is part of the UPLB Alumni Fellows Program, initiated by the Office of the UPLB Chancellor through the Office of Alumni Relations.

One important issue that emerged from the discussions was the policy implications of agroforestry researchโ€”particularly understanding what happens on the ground, its impacts, and the factors that may be limiting farmers from adopting technologies that have been available for quite some time.

The afternoon roundtable discussion generated even more ideas and promising areas for collaboration. ๐Ÿ’ก

Kudos to the IAF Team! FDC is more than willing to collaborate on research and policy issues that can help strengthen agroforestry and contribute to meaningful change on the ground. ๐ŸŒฟ
