agricultural usage and control and abatement of pollution from
agri/aquacultural activities. (AO 2007 -26)
Section 22. Linkage Mechanism
• DOH – set, revise, enforce drinking water quality standards
• DOST – evaluate, verify, develop and disseminate pollution
prevention and cleaner production technology
• DepED, CHED, DILG, and PIA – prepare and implement a
comprehensive and continuing public education and
information program
• Adopt-an-Estero/Water Body Program
- Adopt-an-Estero/Water Body Program is a collaborative
undertaking between and among the Estero Community, Donor-
Partner, Local Government Unit/s, other government agencies and
the DENR.
- Objectives: Mobilize estero communities in cleaning the estero
and enlist their active participation in the actual clean up, and in
implementing and preparing plans to sustain a clean estero in the
future years.
• Who is an Estero Donor/Partner?
- A Donor/Partner may be a business establishment, an industry
association, a non-government organization or any other group that
volunteers to be a major actor in cleaning the esteros.
