The Quarry Permittees Association (QPA) of Negros Oriental, led by its President Ruben William V. Carballo, has partnered with Integrated Digital Outdoor (IDO) Solution, OPC, Maayo Shipping, Inc., and the Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (NOCCI) to fully implement the provisions of the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) Circular No. 2020-27 dated June 17, 2020 and the newly-enacted Negros Oriental Provincial Ordinance No. 29, Series of 2023.
The signing of the agreement took place during a special meeting at Mezzo Hotel in Cebu City on August 14, 2023. The event was attended by DENR Regional Executive Director (RED) Paquito Melicor, Jr., Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB-7) Regional Director Arman Malicse, and DICT-7 Regional Director Frederick Amores.
In the meeting, QPA received full support from the three government agencies to implement all the provisions of EMB Circular 2020-27 by adopting the Provincial Eco Asset Reporting Monitoring System (PEARMS) Digital Platform provided by IDO Solution, Inc. Additionally, NOCCI and Maayo Shipping, Inc. will provide manpower and administrative support.
The PEARMS Digital Platform plays a vital role in efficiently monitoring the movement of assets and trucks of all silica, sand, and gravel permittees in Negros Oriental. It ensures transparency, compliance, and effective monitoring of quarrying activities in the province.
NOCCI and QPA will also seek support from local government units in Negros Oriental to adopt the PEARMS Digital Platform and ensure strict compliance with and enforcement of the newly enacted Negros Oriental Provincial Ordinance No. 29, Series of 2023.
