Oversight bodies to protect, develop Lake Lanao river basin created

The Provincial Government of Lanao del Sur in cooperation with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) created oversight bodies to protect and manage the Lake Lanao River Basin.

The Lanao Basin Management Council and five sub-watershed management councils were created in a workshop held on January 9-10, 2017 in Grand City Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City.


The workshop was aimed to ensure that Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project or (INREMP) activities are carefully planned and carried out through the oversight bodies to protect, manage and develop the Lake Lanao River Basin.

INREMP is intended to address unsustainable watershed management in four priority river basins including Lake Lanao.

Members of the oversight bodies were also oriented on their roles and responsibilities to effectively manage the watersheds in Lake Lanao River Basin.

Present during the meeting were Governor Bedjoria Soraya A. Adiong, Vice Governor Mamintal “Bombit” A. Adiong, Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) Lordelie Enjambre who represented Secretary Abul Khayr Alonto, Municipal Mayors League President Atty. Dimnatang L. Pansar, Pipalawan Naga, Interior and Local Government Assistant Regional Director McMillan Lucman, local chief executives, and representatives from the provincial DENR, Philippine Army, National Power Corporation, Mindanao State University.

Provincial Governor Adiong said failure to protect Lake Lanao will have a negative impact not only in the lives of the Maranaos but to all Mindanaoans.


She said Lake Lanao presents many benefits to people - be it economic, recreational, aesthetic, cultural, educational, scientific, and ecological. (PIO Lanao del Sur/PIA-10)
