The Army’s 7th CMO Battalion here headed by its Commanding Officer Lt. Col. Benito V. Doniego Jr. has launched a new full-blown battle: To help preserve and protect the environment. | |||
Col. Doniego said that they have a standing order from their Commanding General Ireneo Espino of the 7th Infantry Division, to now shift their battle in protecting and preserving the environment since the threat of insurgency in Bataan has been a thing of the past. | |||
“Our soldiers are always going out in full battle gear from the Camp not to wage war against the rebels but to plant trees, clean the streets and going after illegal loggers and other forms of environmental concerns,” pointed out Col. Doniego inside his headquarters here. | |||
Known as adopted son of Bataan for having established good rapport to the community, media and the local officials in the province since he was a young Lieutenant, Col. Doniego said that their main concern now is work for the protection of environment such as going after the suspected illegal loggers and even fishers who, he claimed, were sabotaging the country’s beautiful environment. | |||
Doniego and his men were seen by newsmen leading in the clearing of the Roman highway of fallen trees that blocked the main road at the height of typhoon "Pedring" and "Quiel," including the one giant tree that fatally fell on the vehicle of Gov. Tet Garcia. Gov. Garcia’s driver Efren Pascual died of severe head injuries while the governor miraculously survived. The governor’s vehicle, a Ford Van colored white, was in total wreck. | |||
In declaring Bataan and other neighboring provinces as insurgency-free, Col. Gregorio Catapang, Brigade Commander of the Army’s 703rd Infantry Brigade, had said that the Army in Central Luzon is now concentrating in environmental programs such as planting trees, clearing the clogged rivers and waters ways, running after illegal loggers, among others. | |||
Soon to become Army general, Catapang said that the army are now focusing much of their attentions in protecting the environment due to alarming climate change that is now hitting the globe. | |||
So with the leadership of the Sangguniang Kabataan headed by its national president Assistant Secretary Lousie Gabriel “Gabz” del Rosario who have been working hand in hand with local leaders in the country to promote environmental awareness. | |||
