IPIL, Zamboanga Sibugay | Young environmental advocates from 28 schools across the Zamboanga Peninsula came together on September 9, 2026, at the Atrium of the Provincial Capitol in Ipil for the 4th Regional Environmental Youth Summit.

For the members of the Youth for Environment in Schools Organizations (YES-O), the summit was an opportunity to meet fellow student advocates, hear from people working in environmental conservation, and talk about issues that matter to their schools and communities.

This yearโ€™s summit moved away from the usual lecture format and brought environmental discussions closer to the participants through an interactive talk show. Environmental experts, conservation practitioners, and youth champions shared their experiences while students were encouraged to ask questions and take part in the conversation.

Resource speakers include: Christian Paul B. Vailoces, Local Youth Development Officer from the Municipality of Dumalinao, Zamboanga Del Sur, Atty. Jay Mark P. Balbosa of DENR Region 12 vice Marc Mustre F. Sarcauga, Chief of the Protected Area Management and Biodiversity Conservation Section of DENR 9 and Mr. Roland Pereyra, European Union โ€“ Philippine Green Economy Partnership (EU-PH GEP) as Local Government Union Advisor for Isabela City, Basilan with Ms. Mariane Catherine F. Tapales as the event Moderator.

The activity highlights the important role of YES-O in encouraging students to take part in environmental protection. Since its establishment under DENR IXโ€™s Dalaw-Turo Program in 2013, YES-O has provided a venue for students and educators to engage in environmental awareness and stewardship.

The summit was organized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region IX, in collaboration with the Department of Education (DepEd), the Provincial Government of Zamboanga Sibugay headed by Governor Dulce Ann K. Hofer, and the 2nd Congressional District of Zamboanga Sibugay led by Congresswoman Anna Marlesa Malahat Hofer Tamano-Hasim.

For the young people who took part, the summit is a reminder that environmental protection also starts in places familiar to them: their schools, communities, and everyday lives.

AFP Advances CHR Leadership with First Civilian Director I

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) formally welcomed Ms. Marites M. Sierra as the first Director I of the AFP Civilian Human Resources (CHR) during an oath-taking ceremony held here. The ceremony was presided over by Lieutenant General Edmundo G. Peralta PA, The Deputy Chief of Staff, AFP representing AFP Chief of Staff General Antonio G. Nafarrete PA.

Director Sierra brings nearly 25 years of government service to her new leadership role, underscoring the AFPโ€™s commitment to strengthening its CHR management. Her appointment reflects the AFPโ€™s recognition that CHRs are not merely an administrative function, but a critical leadership responsibility that contributes directly to organizational effectiveness, professionalism, and mission readiness.

As the first Director I to lead AFP CHRs, Director Sierra assumes a significant responsibility in shaping a more responsive, professional, and people-centered civilian workforce. The strength of the AFP is not measured solely by those in uniform, but also by the dedicated civilian professionals whose expertise, commitment, and service help sustain the institution and keep the organization mission-ready.
