Department of Environment and Natural Resources 11 (DENR-11) executive director Bagani Fidel Evasco, who is also the chairman of the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB), is pushing for the temporary closure of the Mt. Apo Natural Park due to the unappealing findings from their recent trail and camp assessment in Davao del Sur entry points.
The PAMB, however, adopted the deferment of the agendum for the closure of Mt. Apo during its emergency EnBanc Meeting on Tuesday, February 23, 2021. The decision to hold the closure was made after 25 of the members, both from Region 11 and 12, voted in favor of the motion to defer while eight others are not in favor of the decision.
