Defensor
liable for IFMA Oriental Negros Gov. George Arnaiz said he believes Environment Secretary Michael Defensor could be held liable and charged for canceling the Integrated Forest Management Awards contracts, covering about 16,000 hectares of land in different parts of the province. Arnaiz said he will join the complaints of the Tree Planters Federation of People's Organizations of Oriental Negros over their cancelled 30 out of 50 IFMAs under contract with non-government and people's organizations in the province. Arnaiz said that, contrary to Defensor's perception of "unsatisfactory
performance," the IFMA contracted projects in the province were
doing well and are about to be harvested. |
