Protecting the Ipo Watershed starts with empowered communities.

As part of the 2-Year Implementation of the Bantay Ipo Project, FosPEEE conducted a Perception Survey on December 8–13, 2025, with 353 participants comprising adults, youth, and children from Barangays San Mateo, San Lorenzo, San Isidro, and Puray. The survey gathered insights on community knowledge, attitudes, and practices on watershed protection.

The results will help guide the development of an Information, Education, and Motivation (IEM) Plan to strengthen community engagement in protecting and sustaining the Ipo Watershed.

In the recently conducted Philippine CSO Consultation on the Global Plastics Treaty co-organized with Aksyon Klima, Dr. Michelle Reyes of Healthcare Without Harm urged the Philippine delegation to prioritize human health in the upcoming INC-5 negotiations.

She emphasized the need for a treaty that reduces plastic production, ensures non-toxic materials, and promotes transparency. Importantly, she advocated for a sectoral approach to address specific health impacts and opposed blanket exceptions for the health sector. By incorporating these recommendations, the Philippines can contribute to a global treaty that safeguards both human health and the environment.

With the INC-5 just a few weeks away, let's strengthen the call for a strong, health-centered global plastic treaty!

“FosPEEE and CBPI conducted its Year 2 - 3rd Quarter Site Monitoring and Maintenance for PCAPI R4's 1-ha tree-planting site”

Fostering People’s Education, Empowerment, and Enterprise (FosPEEE) and the Calawis Punlaang Bayan Inc. (CBPI) conducted its Year 2 – 3rd Quarter monitoring and maintenance for the 1-ha tree-planting site of the Pollution Control Association of the Philippines Region 4A (PCAPI 4A) last June 2, 2023. The maintenance activity involved site clearing, brushing, and weeding of each planted seedling as well as replacement planting for the dead seedlings. On the other hand, the monitoring activity involved leaf collection for species identification and counting. The tree-planting site, which was planted last August 21, 2021, has been up for almost two years and will continue to thrive as time goes by thanks to the efforts of CBPI and the funding provided by PCAPI R4. The last monitoring and maintenance activity will be conducted on the first week of September which will cap this two-year engagement.

FosPEEE and CBPI have been conducting this activity as part of the Adopt-a-Forest Initiative under the Partners for Forest Project. As donors provide monetary support and manpower to plant trees in a specified area within the Marikina Watershed, the partner People’s Organization continues to monitor and maintain the site quarterly for two years to ensure that the seedlings survive and grow into a forest. These efforts were done to rehabilitate the damaged areas of the Marikina Watershed caused by incessant illegal logging and poaching conducted in the past.
