"Environmental Governance" - Definition

"Multi-level interactions (i.e., local, national, international/global) among, but not limited to, three main actors, i.e., state, market, and civil society, which interact with one another, whether in formal and informal ways; in formulating and implementing policies in response to environment-related demands and inputs from the society; bound by rules, procedures, processes, and widely-accepted behavior; for the purpose of attaining environmentally-sustainable development, a.k.a., "green growth."

Conceptualized by Ebinezer R. Florano in Florano (2008), "The Study of Environmental Governance: A Proposal for a Graduate Program in the Philippines." A conference paper read in the EROPA Seminar 2008 with the theme, "Governance in a Triptych: Environment, Migration, Peace and Order," held on 23-25 October 2008 at Traders Hotel in Pasay City, Philippines.

IN MEMORIAM MAYOR ROMAR MARCOS, MUNICIPALITY OF NAUJAN, ORIENTAL MINDORO


This blogspot joins the people of the Municipality of Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, in mourning for the untimely demise of its beloved Mayor, Honorable Romar G. Marcos, who was just recently re-elected to his post during the May 10, 2010 elections. Mayor Marcos died today, June 8, 4:30 a.m. at the Philippine General Hospital due to a liver ailment.

Mayor Marcos will be remembered for pursuing "environmental protection" as part of his development plans encapsuled in the acronym HEART which stands for: H for health; E for education, environment and employment; A for agriculture and livelihood; R for roads and infrastructure; and T for tourism, trade and telecommunications. He made headlines in Or. Mindoro when he questioned the construction of gabion in 2006 in Barangay San Andres which he thought caused the severe flashloods in his municipality since then. In January 2010, a sudden flashflood in Naujan caused the death of two Naujenos. Mayor Marcos led the rescue operations.

Mayor Marcos was one of our "green politicians" who accepted our invitation to be a case study in the research study entitled, "Green Vote in Philippine Politics: The May 10, 2010 Elections" which will be presented at the latter part of this year. In our modest way, we will remember and honor Mayor Marcos through this study.
