He also stressed that if the environment is not fully taken care of,
resources are not preserved and promoted; thus, the quality of life is
degraded, the economic system become less functional.
TKDCI was created "to promote comprehensive human development,
which has to include care for the integrity of creation" he added.
Mr. Eduardo B. Principe views the cultivation of the area as the
organization's first major step in showing the people that they can be
successful in bringing back balance in the environment. "In this way,
we can easily convince other people to take care of the environment,"
he said.
Other members of the Board of Trustees and volunteers of TKDCI,
together with other representatives of DENR Region IV-A witnessed
