Nagpahayag ng “excitement” si Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy Cimatu matapos na agarang kumpirmahin ng Commission on Appointments (CA) ang kanyang ad interim appointment kahapon.

“I am pleased, honored and humbled by the vote of the Commission on Appointments confirming my nomination. I am excited about this opportunity to continue serving the public as Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources,” sabi ni Cimatu.

Pinalitan ni Cimatu si dating DENR Secretary Gina Lopez, na hindi kinumpirma ng CA noong Mayo.

“The challenge for me now is to prove that President Rodrigo Duterte and the honorable members of the CA have made the right decision in placing their trust and confidence in my abilities to lead the DENR towards fulfilling the broad mandate entrusted to it,” ayon sa retiradong heneral.

“Rest assured that under my watch, the DENR will push for people-centered agenda in pursuit of environmental protection and sustainable development. It is high time that every Filipino, regardless of status in life, should have equal access to the benefits of clean environment and sustainable natural resources,” dagdag pa ni Cimatu.
