The Department of Environment and Natural Resources through its Provincial ENR Office (DENR-PENRO) in Capiz province recently provided help to frontliners assigned in six checkpoint areas in Roxas City.
PENRO Capiz donated a portion of their salaries for the frontliners.
“Checkpoint frontliners are also heroes in their own ways. They keep the community and the province protected from possible massive local transmission of the corona virus disease. As such, they deserve the help they get from organizations like us in the government,” Capiz PENR Officer Ruel L. De Los Reyes said.
De Los Reyes along with senior staff collected Php40,200 which were used to buy the following: 8 sacks rice with 50 kg/sack, 8 boxes cup noodles with 24pcs/box, 16 boxes sky flakes, 8 packs safeguard with 6pcs/pack, 24 boxes tetra pack juice with 10pcs/box, 8 gallons Zonrox bleach with 4 liters/gallon, 8 boxes 3-in-1 coffee with 72pcs twin packs/box, 8 boxes nature spring with 40 bottles (350ml)/box, 16 pcs. Chicken Lechon, and 120 pcs. Jollibee Yum Burger.
The identified recipients were the six checkpoint areas within Roxas City (Brgys. Lonoy, Adlawan, Lawa-an, Balijuagan, Tanza and Bato), all entry points of Roxas City, and two Border Checkpoints of the province in the municipalities of Sapi-an and Dumarao, Capiz.
“I am proud of this initiative done by the DENR employees in the province of Capiz. We are all facing an enormous invisible enemy but there they are, helping others in the best ways they can,” DENR 6 regional executive director Francisco E. Milla Jr. said.
