National Greening Program sa Cavite, hindi raw maayos na naipatutupad ng DENR
Summary
TLDRThe Commission on Audit's report highlighted the ineffective implementation of the National Greening Program (NGP) by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) from 2013 to 2015. Issues like poor tree monitoring, animal damage, and the planting of trees in unsuitable or private lands plagued the program. Despite efforts to replant and monitor trees, challenges such as road widening and lack of coordination with local governments resulted in significant tree losses. The report calls for better planning, protection, and long-term maintenance of planted areas to ensure the survival of trees.

Q & A
What was the main issue identified by the Commission on Audit (COA) regarding the National Greening Program (NGP) from 2013 to 2015?
-The COA report revealed that the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) lacked an effective and efficient system for implementing the National Greening Program (NGP) during this period.
What happened to the trees planted in Barangay Langkaan, Dasmariñas, Cavite, under the NGP?
-The trees planted in Barangay Langkaan were reportedly destroyed or eaten by animals, while others died due to inadequate care, particularly from livestock like cows and carabaos.
What specific challenges did the DENR face in monitoring and maintaining the trees planted under the NGP?
-The DENR faced challenges such as the destruction of planted trees by animals and insufficient monitoring, especially during the critical first three years of tree growth, which are vital for the survival of the plants.
How did the local government of Dasmariñas respond to the problem of animals destroying the trees?
-The local government of Dasmariñas passed an ordinance in 2015 that required animals to be tied up to prevent them from damaging the planted trees.
Why were many of the trees planted in Cavite destroyed by road widening projects?
-A lack of coordination between the DENR and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) led to trees being planted along roadsides, which were later destroyed by road widening projects.
What problem did Barangay Kabuko face with regards to planting sites under the NGP?
-Barangay Kabuko had limited planting areas, which led them to plant trees along roadsides and private lots. This posed a risk to the survival of the trees, as they were more susceptible to being cut down during road projects.
How does the NGP define appropriate planting areas for trees?

🌳 Challenges in Implementing the National Greening Program (NGP)
The Commission on Audit (COA) reported that from 2013 to 2015, the implementation of the National Greening Program (NGP) by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) was ineffective. The report highlights discrepancies in the number of trees planted, with issues in the Langkaan area in Dasmariñas, Cavite. It was noted that the trees planted in 2011 were either destroyed or eaten by animals. Poor maintenance, especially in the first three years of planting, and lack of funding for monitoring contributed to the failure of the program. Local authorities like the barangay officials tried to mitigate the impact by tying animals to prevent them from damaging the trees. However, a lack of coordination between DENR and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) led to planted trees being affected by road widening projects, undermining reforestation efforts.
🌱 Replanting and Relocation Efforts Amid Challenges
Due to limited planting sites, the barangay planted trees along roadsides, which eventually led to their removal because of road widening projects. The DENR was criticized for selecting inappropriate locations for planting, which were not suitable for tree growth and survival. There were efforts to replant dead trees, with barangay officials trying to maintain them, but many trees were planted on private lots, which put them at risk. Moving forward, DENR aimed to focus planting in suitable areas such as mountains and coastal regions instead of roadsides. The Barangay Kabuko faced problems such as residents illegally cutting ipil-ipil trees for profit. The report also mentioned the issues with maintaining the planted trees in General Trias Sports Park, as the number of surviving trees fell short of the target, with several areas still overgrown and lacking proper care.

Highlights
COA reported from 2013 to 2015 that there was no proper and effective system in implementing the National Greening Program (NGP) by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
In the NGP accomplishment report, 2,000 trees were said to have been planted in Barangay Langkaan, Dasmariñas, Cavite.
The DENR was criticized for lack of monitoring, as many planted trees were destroyed or eaten by animals, while others simply did not survive.
The local government of Dasmariñas implemented an ordinance in 2015 requiring animals to be tied up to prevent them from destroying plants.
The COA report highlighted a lack of coordination between the DENR and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), leading to trees being destroyed during road widening projects in Cavite.
The DENR planted 3,000 trees in Barangay Kabuko in 2011, but some were cut down due to a road widening project along Governor's Drive.
Barangay Kabuko planted trees along roadsides due to a lack of available planting sites, but some of these trees were at risk of being cut down because they were planted on private lots.
The NGP accomplishment report claimed that over a thousand trees were planted in General Trias Sports Park, but only a fraction survived.
Sports Park management has maintained the remaining trees by watering them and removing vines and weeds, but not all trees survived.
Forest Foundation Philippines expressed doubts about the accuracy of the DENR's tree planting reports, criticizing the focus on the quantity of trees planted rather than the number of trees that actually survived.
Critical monitoring was lacking during the first three years after planting, which are crucial for tree survival.
Private landowners cutting down ipil-ipil trees for profit became an issue in Barangay Kabuko, violating NGP regulations.
The COA noted that NGP funds allocated for monitoring and maintaining planted trees were insufficient or not properly utilized.
The DENR responded by adjusting its planting strategy, focusing more on planting in mountainous and coastal areas instead of along roadsides.
In some cases, the DENR planted trees during the dry season, contributing to their low survival rate.

[Musika]
2011 wala ka ngang makikitang bakas ng
tanim na puno mula sa
ngp ang mga itinanim sinira at kinain ng
mga hayop yung ibang itinanim hindi nila
doon na mahogani papunta rin doon sa
amin ah yun n ano rin yan Ganon din
namatay din gawa nga rin ng mga bakat
kalabaw na sinisira ng bakat kalabaw Ah
yung iba kasi noong araw maraming mga
hayop sa aming gala yung mga baka
kalabaw maraming gala kahit merong
trigard yung puno nasisira pa rin ng ano
ng baka atsaka
kalabaw ayon sa kaa nagkulang sa
pagbabantay sa mga itinatanim na puno
ang
DNR lalo pa't kritial ang unang tatlong
taon para mabuhay ang isang halaman
Meron naman kaming time na ginaganap
yung monitoring namin and then
ah pag kami naman ay nagmo-monitor
naka coordinate din kami sa mga barangay
At yang
ah sinasabing mayong mga nasira o Yun
nga hindi masyadong nakaki or what
namamatay kasi nga kung may Presence ng
Uh mga hayop possible na maapakan kainin
kaya kung kaya nilang kainin So yun mga
talagang isa sa mga naging problema
namin dito sa pagpapatupad ng ngp pero
hindi naman lahat ng
lugar kailangan May pondo para i-monitor
at para i-maintain yung mga itinanim
natin ano sa loob ng tatlong taon dapat
binibisita mo ung mga itinanim mo
tinatanggalan mo ng ung mga
damo at iba pang tumutubo na maaaring
makapatay dito ah kung kailangan bilig
ah lalo na agag sobrang init dinidiligan
din yan sa pagkaalam namin meron namang
nailang pondo diyan yung DNR ano base sa
mga budgets na naipakita sa amin hindi
ko lang alam kung papaano At bakit
walang pondo na naibibigay dito sa mga
adaptors nitong
mga planting areas under the national
greening
program bilang tugon ng lokal na
pamahalaan ng dasmari sa problema
nagpatupad sila ng ordinansa noong 2015
na kailangang nakatali ang mga alagang
Hayop para hindi makapanira ng
halaman sa report ng kaa sa calabarzon
region nagkulang daw ang DNR sa
koordinasyon sa
DPWH kaya sa huli ang mga itinanim na
puno sa Cavite nasagasaan lang ng road
widening project
sa ulat ng penro noong nakaraang taon
nasa 3000 ang puno na naitanim sa
barangay kabuko sa 1 Martires Noong
2011 nabuhay daw ang mga tanim taliwas
ito sa kaa report noong
[Musika]
2013 may mga naputol daw na puno sa road
widening project governor's drive
2011 sa tabing kalsada na lang kasi
nakapagtanim ang barangay kabuko dahil
pribado ang mga bakanteng lote sa
Barangay kasi po Ma'am Wala pong kaming
area na pagtataniman ng mga puno kaya
yung mga tabing daan ang aming
tinataniman hindi rin naman namin kasi
Ma'am alam kung kailan ang Road
widening iyan kasi sa totoo lang
kung masasab gusto ko ah kung pwede kong
sabihin yan ang isang naging problema sa
Cavite talagang kulang na kami sa mga
planting sites so Itong mga Road ses na
sa aming assessment ay pwede pang tamnan
pero at least pinipili din namin hindi
basta-basta magtanim ka na
magtanim ang mga punong namatay
pinalitan naman daw ng Barangay gaya
niyang mahan e eh kami ho ang may tanim
nian at saka yung mga akasya rito simula
po sa boundary ng tanawan sa hanggang sa
boundary namin dito sa Barangay San
Agustin may mga tanim po kami
diyan ang problema itinanim sa pribadong
lote ang ibang mga puno kaya nanganganib
din itong
maputol nakasaad sa ngp na kailangang
pampubliko Ang lupang tataniman ng mga
puno dapat ang unang pag-iisipan ay yung
lugar kung saan tayo magtatanim Ano yun
ang first consideration Saan ba tayo
magtatanim Ito ba ay ah angkop na
palakihan at tubuan ng ng puno o
magkaroon ng Gubat kung hindi Hwag tayo
doon magtanim ano kasi nagsasayang lang
tayo ng pera ng tao pera ng gobyerno at
at pawis ng mga tao para maiwasan na
yung pagpuputol nagkaroon tayo ng
instruction sa field offices natin as
much as possible lilimitahan na natin
yong pagtatanim ng puno along Road sides
no dadalhin na natin yung pagtatanim ng
puno doon sa ating mga kabundukan or
even d sa Coastal
areas sinit rin ng kaa ang pagkamatay ng
mga puno dahil itinanim ito sa panahon
ng tag-init
problema rin sa Barangay kabuko ang
pagpuputol ng mga residente ng puno ng
ipil-ipil para
pagkakitaan tulad ng mga kahoy na ito na
nakumpiska ng mga tanod nitong
Hunyo labag sa batas ang magputol ng
puno batay rin sa ngp accomplishment
report mahigit is libong puno ang
naitanim sa mahigit dalawang ektaryang
lupa ng General Trias sports Park kasi
ito naman very evident naman na wala
naman 2 hectares Ong area eh so hindi ko
alam kung paano nila ni-report basta
kami sumuporta lang doon at nag
nag-request kami ng mga seedlings na
binigay naman nila kaya lang
katulad nga ng sabi natin na hindi lahat
nag-survive
sa aming pagbisita wala pang is libo ang
puno na nasa sports
Park may espasyo sa sports Park na
walang tanim masukal na rin ang
bakanteng lote ah sa ngayon po kasi
eh araw-araw po ang pag-ulan kaya po
mabilis ang ang ang pag ano ng damo pero
Yan po ay aming nililinis naman simula
po nung nag tree planting mine-maintain
po namin ang mga puno po dito sa
pamamagitan ng pagdidilig ng
halaman inaalisan po ng mga baging sa
ilalim para po Patuloy ang pagyabong ng
mga halaman
[Musika]
dito inaalagaan naman daw ng sports park
ang mga natirang puno rito
sa kabuuan ng report ng ngp sa Cavite
Noong 2011 nakapagtanim daw ng halos 100
at
54 puno ang DNR sa higit t ektarya ng
lupa sa
probinsya hindi naniniwala ang forest
foundation Philippines sa report na ito
ang sa isip nila Kapag nagtanim sila ng
madaming ah Punla madaming seedlings yun
na ang National greening program naging
paramihan ng maitatanim sa paramihan ng
lugar Hindi po paramihan ng ng seedlings
na Itatanim kundi paramihan ng nabubuhay
ng seedlings pagkatapos ng tatlong taon
ganun po yung batayan namin
