PRIORITY PROGRAMS
On the heels of the successful implementation of DENR’s National Greening Program from
2011 to 2016, the state saw it fit to further extend its implementation to year 2028 and, thereby,
issued Executive Order No. 193, series of 2015 titled “Expanding the Coverage of the
National Greening Program” (ENGP). It aims to cover the remaining 7.1 million hectares of
unproductive, denuded and degraded forestlands nationwide.
The 2011-2016 NGP, which was created by virtue of Executive Order No. 26 issued on February
24, 2011, posted an accomplishment of some 1.7 million hectares that were planted with 1.3
billion seedlings, including the creation of h some four million jobs that benefitted around
558,323 individuals as hired workers.
Under the ENGP, the Duterte Administration targets to reforest some 1.2 million hectares
between 2017 to 2022 in accordance with the updated 2016-2028 Master Plan for Forestry
Development .
The ENGP likewise seeks to attract private sector interest to invest in forestry-related
undertakings like tree plantation development and forest protection projects as a measure to
achieve carbon neutrality.
