With the election of Undersecretary Benny Antiporda as Lions Club International district governor, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources is looking forward to building stronger partnership with the group.
Antiporda was elected unopposed as governor of District 301-A2 of the Lions Club International, "the world’s largest civilian service organization," through an online election last May 24, during which canvassing and proclamation of winners were live-streamed on Facebook.
Antiporda is expected to leverage the organization’s social mobilization work to help the DENR in promoting the conservation, management, development and proper use of the country’s environment and natural resources.
“My dual role as DENR undersecretary and official of a civilian service organization allows me to expand my reach, help even more people and champion the cause of environmental protection,” he said.
