Atty. Ofelio A. Tactac, Jr. CESO V, as he highlights the importance of community support in fight against illegal logging activities during the Dialogue with the Diteki Famers Association, January 12, 2021, Brgy. Diteki, San Luis, Aurora.
SAN LUIS, AURORA –To address the issue on illegal logging operation as claimed by residents from Brgy. Ditek, San Luis, Aurora, a dialogue with the Diteki Farmers Association headed by Mr. Manuel Buenconsejo was initiated by the DILG Aurora along with the DENR, PNP and AFP last January 12, 2021, 10:00 in the morning.
Operations against the illegal logging in Brgy. Diteki were already intensified by virtue of an earlier meeting with the farmer’s group representative set December last year. Said meeting resulted in the confiscation of illegally cut logs and their means of transportation. Nonetheless, because of the porous environment and threats to the DENR personnel exemplified when a forest ranger manning a checkpoint was repeatedly shot, apprehending illegal loggers remains a big challenge.

The event was done thru virtual or web based conferencing and streamed on Facebook Live taking into consideration the Municipality's strict adherence to health and safety protocols discouraging public gathering. Local Officials headed by Mayor Ricardo Bitong were joined by officials from the Department of Information, Communications Technology (DICT) Region 3, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and DILG Aurora.
Mayor Ricardo Bitong, in his message, thanked the DICT, DTI and the DILG for their assistance in the establishment of the eBPLS in the Municipality and highlighted the benefits it will reap from the said system.
DILG Provincial Director Atty. Ofelio A. Tactac, Jr. CESO V stated that the eBPLS will promote and encourage entrepreneurs to open and register their business which is vital to reinvigorate the economy suffering from the pandemic.
The eBPLS implements business processes based on RA 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Law (EODB).
