PAGADIAN CITY - The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) region IX is conducting a five (5)-day Training and Workshop Design on Applied Geo-Tagging Technology for National Greening Program (NGP) Coordinators and Implementers at Chandler Suites Hotel from December 17-21, 2012 in Pagadian City. 
This training is in line with the department’s focus of providing importance to transparency and accountability in the implementation of its banner program particularly the National Greening Program.

FMS Regional Technical Director Ali M. Bari in his message said that Geo-Tagging is now being employed as a management  tool in the NGP and has made a difference compared to monitoring and validating accomplishments from past reforestation efforts.

“Geo-Tagging technology shall aid project validators in monitoring greening activities under the NGP even in far-flung areas. It shall utilize and associate a digital resource such as photos, website, and short message system with a physical location given in terms of longitude and latitude coordinates which can pinpoint any reforestation site with a high degree of precision, provide accurate data and make the information available to everyone, “ RTD Bari said.

RTD Bari added that this new technology utilizes equipment such as Desktop or laptop computers, tablets, Global Positioning System (GPS) units with cameras and cellular phones to gather, input and upload spatial, textual and photo data and process them for a more simple and comprehensive presentation on-line or off-line.

The training workshop is being conducted by selected personnel from the Management Information System Division-DENR Central Office in coordination with the Forest Management Services and Planning and Management Division – Management Information System in the region.
