New DENR 6 RED assumes post
Former Regional Executive Director (RED) Ricardo Calderon of Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region XI, Davao City, took over as the new regional head of the department here in Western Visayas.
Calderon accepted the key of responsibility and accountability from out-going RED Lormelyn Claudio in a simple turn-over ceremony held at the DENR Regional Office at Fort San Pedro, yesterday, January 12, where it was witnessed by the officers and personnel of DENR 6 and media.
Calderon who is a native of Laguna, had served the DENR since 1986 from the then Bureau of Forest Development. A Forester by profession, he rose from the ranks with flying colors. He had been a RED since January 18, 2006.
Accordingly, Claudio will be assigned to the DENR Central Office.
It will be recalled that through DENR Special Order No. 2009-01 Environment Secretary Lito Atienza had reorganized the DENR’s REDs nationwide as part of the department’s continuing organizational development.
Under the said directive, all the DENR REDs were replaced except for Regions IV A, IV-B, V, VII and XIII. (PIA)
