“Mahalaga ang FLUP sa panahon ngayon, hindi lang dapat pangalagaan ang natural resources kundi ito rin po yung magpoprotekta sa atin sa mga kalamidad. Kung hindi po natin pangangalagaan ang ating kagubatan ay tayo rin po ang mapipinsala nito”, stated by Dr. Bitong as he stressed the FLUP as the momentous approach in protecting the natural resources and the community.
