DENR reacts to Masungi Georeserve Foundation’s press release on Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s post calling President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to “intervene and continue to protect Masungi.”
DiCaprio’s post
on Instagram said the success of Masungi is “in jeopardy, as the Department of Environment and Natural Resources threatens to cancel the agreement that protects this area from prolific land grabbing activities.”“The Filipino people own the area occupied by Masungi Georeserve Foundation and the operation of resort venues that charge the public for day tours, meetings, and weddings remains non-compliant with Philippine laws,” the DENR said in a statement released Thursday, July 4. | via Iya Gozum/Rappler rplr.co/EnviScienceChat
