The Role of Environmental Governance in Improving the Potency of Philippine Forestry Rules

Environmental agencies like Forestry Management Bureau (FMB) are reposed with the responsibility to protect and develop the natural assets of the nation.

With the responsibility is authority. The agencies are to prescribe the necessary rules and regulations to govern how the assets are to be managed, utilized and kept for the common good. They are in the business of making and enforcing rules.

This paper discusses the nature of rules. It looks into how their potency to enforce their aims and intentions rests on the ability of environmental agencies to overcome certain issues relating to governance. It examines the measures that might be undertaken to improve both the rules and the governance of the Philippine environment.
