The Department of Environment and Natural Resources-CAR has designated new regional official and three other field officials.
 
Pursuant to Special Order Nos. 527, 528, 529 and 530 series of 2020, Development Management Officer V For. Florencio Pacio was recalled to head the Technical Services Division of Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office Abra.
 
His post as CENR Officer of CENRO Lamut was turned over to For. Manuel Magkachi. Magkachi who formerly headed the DENR-CAR Regional Office's Enforcement Division turned over his post to Atty. Charine Abalos.
 
In PENRO Kalinga, Mr. Denne Capuyan is the new Technical Services Division Chief.
 
The new officials immediately assumed their post after the virtual oath-taking led by Regional Executive Director Ralph Pablo.
 
Pablo reminded the newly designated officials that this is a crucial time to be designated to a new position as the year is about to end. This means that there may not be enough time to cope with the backlogs but still, the new leaders have to do it. He congratulated the newly designated officials while challenging them to make a long-lasting impression by delivering the work expected of them in the remaining months of 2020. As leaders, the Regional Executive Director hopes the officials hold on to their commitments, walk their talk and make impact in their respective offices.
 
Assistant RED for Management Services Atty. Cleo Sabado-Andrada reminded that in some instances, leaders are chosen because reforms are needed.
 
She emphasized that passionate and aggressive leaders are those needed in the Department. "Leaders don’t act only in situations when they are needed. They don’t act on problems and conduct investigations. But leaders prevent problems especially when these are within their control," she said.
Highlighting that government administration is now different due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she called for a reformed and modern kind of leadership saying “We expect our leaders to be abreast, active and responsive on social media, as part of the new normal and strategies in leadership”.
 
Environmental Management Bureau-CAR Regional Director Ma. Victoria Abrera, in her message, said that she could see all the newly-designated personnel as ready to assume the positions they are assigned with. She urged them to continue to serve the public with dignity, diligence and commitment.
 
"The unending challenges force us to work together," Assistant RED for Technical Services Augusto Lagon shared.
