00:00The Masugi Go-Reserve Foundation, Inc. and the DNR need to talk
00:06to improve the Masugi Geo-Reserve, which is a protected area.
00:12This is the point of Professor Antonio Contreras,
00:16a political analyst who has a saying to talk about.
00:19Contreras' saying is really controversial and full of controversy.
00:27One of the things he says about the DNR is that the MGCI does not comply with the law.
00:34But when it comes to the care of the Masugi, the MGCI is in favor of it.
00:41The DNR did not fulfill its agreement signed in 1997
00:47by the Blue Star Development Corporation or the parent company of the MGCI.
00:53Contreras says that the real enemies are the ones who destroy the Masugi.
00:58He says that the Masugi should be taken care of because it is the one
01:02who provides protection in Metro Manila against calamity.
01:08According to my research, even though there are problems,
01:12there is one thing that is clear.
01:14In 2017, there was a memorandum of agreement between the DNR
01:20and the Masugi Geo-Reserve Foundation Incorporated
01:23to take care of the 2,000 hectares of the Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape.
01:30And this was approved by the MGFI because there were many awards
01:37that reflected the enthusiasm of the ecosystem,
01:42protecting the ecosystem from destruction.
01:47And when there is a fire, the first to defend themselves
01:51so that the forest guards of the MGFI do not spread fire.
