The Commission on Human Rights on Thursday lauded the first-ever green camp in Metro Manila via Project Green Camp Karingal of the Quezon City government and QC Police District to promote environment-friendly workspaces in other police districts.
“The Commission fully supports this partnership between the local government and QCPD as it demonstrates their full commitment towards actively taking an effort to address the climate crisis in the country,” it said. It invoked Article II, Section 16 of the Constitution providing that “he State shall protect and advance the right of the people to a balanced and healthful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature.”
Along with QCPD director Rederico Maranan, Mayor Joy Belmonte spearheaded the launch of the partnership in Camp Karingal and underscored the overall goal to shift toward a green, resilient, and sustainable city under the city government’s One Million Trees Initiative. The program is the first-ever green camp in the Philippines, wherein 166 green cops pledged to sustain a clean environment and conserve nature. Camp Karingal has already established urban gardens, maintained a proper waste segregation system, rainwater harvesting system, and installed solar lights.
