THE City Local Environment and Natural Resources Office (Clenro) celebrated its 23 anniversary earlier this morning at Duaw Kagay-an Park this city.
“Ni ingon ko, nganong Feb 14 man gyud? Mao diay ning adlaw diin na-pasar ang ordinasya na nagbuhat sa Clenro. Timing kaayo siya diay, kay adlaw sa gugma, ug dapat lang gyud higugmaon nato atong kinaiyahan. Mao kini karon nga anniversary atong isaulog pamaagi sa tema: Paghandum, Pagsaulog, ug Pagpadayun sa Pag-amoma sa Kinaiyahan,” Clenro chief Engr. Armen Cuenca said in his welcome speech.
Cuenca also acknowledges that there is still room for improvement in their service, and the need for its office to redirect their focus on pressing environmental issues faced by the city.
“Last Friday, amoang gi himo ang redirection. Pag tanaw unsa ang mga butang nga angay buhaton na haom karon nga panahon so daghan amoa nakita nga angay bunahaton pa, ug sa kanonay amoa gyud gina-impart sa amoa mga kauban sa opisina nga dili ta magpabilin sa atong comfort zone, padayun ta tungod kay taas-taas pa atong pakig-bugno sa atoang kinaiyahan.”
For his part, Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Rolando Uy congratulated Clenro and its members for their services, particularly those who recently retired.
“Dawata subli ang akong pahalipay sa siyam ka mga kawani sa Clenro na nakahuman, nakatapos sailahang serbisyo ug pag alagad ug pag-amping sa kinaiyahan. Wala ninyo makita unsa inyo nabuhat, natabang ug napa-ambit sa inyong pilaka tuig nga pag serbisyo pero ang sukdanan mao ang atong kahimtang kung gi-unsa ninyo pag-panga sa atong kinaiyahan,” Uy said.
Committee Chairman on Environment, Abaday, during the activity, congratulated Clenro for its service in preserving and protecting the environment for the past 23 years and calls for solidarity in the protection, utilization, preservation, and use of our environment.
“Dili ni mahimo sa usa lang ka departamento, dili sad kini mahimo sa mayor lang ug sa city council. There should be a concertive effort sa tanan katawhan sa kumonidad that is our responsibility dili lang sa Clenro. Ang pag (panalipod) sa atoang environment para kini preparation sa atong young generation. So we are preparing this environment for the future, not only for the present.”
