An assessment of the effectiveness of the Philippines national government in protecting the environment is shown below:
The Philippines's national government under the leadership of President Rodrigo Duterte has made decisions to improve the environment. The closure of Boracay Island is one such decision. The Enhanced National Greening Program is another effort by the government to reclaim the environment. However, critics believe that these efforts are not enough.
The leadership of the Philippines' government has made strides to resolve environmental concerns in the nation.
The President intends to close Boracay Island which has been a source of pollution. He also intends to reclaim Manila Bay. Critics believe that there are loopholes in these policies.
For example, the reopening of 23 mining sites that were formerly closed by Environmentalist Gina Lopez reveals that the government was not really committed to its reclamation efforts.
