“The
future of humanity is everyone’s responsibility. This is why we never get tired
of telling people that Earth Day must be everyday, everywhere, for everyone,”
said Earth Day Network Philippines Chairman, Dr. Metodio Palaypay.
Palaypay
underscored the critical role of media in bringing out the message of earth
care to the public when he addressed the press and bloggers last 31 March 2015 at
Merrell Concept Store, Market! Market! Bonifacio Global City in a media
briefing for Pro Earth Run 2015. In the end, he entreated the members of the
press, “Into your hands, I commit Mother Earth.”
Meanwhile,
DENR Director for Strategic Communication and Initiatives Service Jesus Enrico
Moises Salazar commended Earth Day Network Philippines for the environmental work
it has been doing over the years. “While the result of your labor may not
always be immediately felt, it will eventually yield something good for the
country.”
Earth
