Message from the Department Head
A personal welcome and overview of our commitment to safeguarding Misamis Oriental's natural heritage.
GERAN JOHN T. FLORES
PLENRO
Welcome to the official webpage of the Provincial Local Environment and Natural Resources Office (PLENRO) of Misamis Oriental. On behalf of our entire office, it is my distinct pleasure to share our ongoing work and commitment to safeguarding our province's rich natural heritage.
In close coordination with the Office of the Provincial Governor and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, PLENRO is mandated to drive sustainable development. We formulate and implement comprehensive policies and programs aimed at environmental protection, resource conservation, and pollution prevention.
To ensure every community receives adequate environmental services, our key initiatives focus on:
Forestry and Conservation
We manage seed banks, produce high-quality seedlings for local tree parks, and support forest development beneficiaries to maintain a healthy ecological balance.
Environmental Quality and Enforcement
We issue and monitor permits to control pollution. Our representatives inspect commercial and industrial establishments to ensure strict compliance with national and local environmental laws.
Disaster Frontline Response
We serve on the frontline during natural or man-made calamities, leading critical rehabilitation and environmental renewal efforts in affected areas.
Resource and Quarry Management
Under Ordinance No. 1571-2022, we serve as the Secretariat for the Provincial Mining Regulatory Board. We monitor quarry operations, penalize illegal activities, and utilize collected fees—including the Ecosystem Services Fee—to directly rehabilitate affected quarry sites.
Solid Waste Management
We collaborate with component cities and municipalities to refine and implement sustainable ecological waste management plans.
Protecting our environment is a shared responsibility. We actively partner with the DENR, non-government organizations, and communities to keep Misamis Oriental safe and clean. We invite you to collaborate with us in building a greener, more resilient province for generations to come.
