“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.
The active participation of the Sangguniang Bayan-Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, Head of Municipal Offices (MLGOO, MBO, MDRRMO, MTICAO, MPDC, MAO, AND Assessor’s Office), Regional and Provincial Offices (DENR-III, ENRO, PPDO, PENRO), NGA’s, APECO, NCIP, CSO’s, Fisherfolks, and representatives from 24 Barangays of Casiguran plays a vital role in the success of the participatory process and the outcome leads on proceeding to the next step which are drafting, legitimization and approval of FLUP.
