President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo enjoins the public to actively participate in the observance of Global Warming and Climate Change Consciousness Week on November 19 to 25, 2009.
Memo Circular No. 186 directs the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Global Warming and Climate Change, in cooperation with the Presidential Task Force on Climate Change, to spearhead the 2009 celebration.
All the government agencies are enjoined to participate and help in the awareness campaign on climate change through several suggested activities.
One of the suggested activities is the convening of the National Organizing Committee for the observance of the week-long celebration.
Another suggested activity is the holding of the Friday Climate Change Briefing with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Finally, in order to drum up public support for the week-long activities, the display of Global Warming and Climate Change Consciousness Week banners or tarpaulins in all government offices and GOCCs, is also suggested. (PIA)
