Secretariat
Since its inception, the Network has adopted a “Secretariat-by-Rotation” mechanism where member organizations serve as the secretariat each year.
Among the organizations were Sagip Pasig Movement, Clean & Green Foundation, Inc., Green Army Network Foundation, Inc. As secretariat, they officially received all donations and issue corresponding receipts as well as coordinate the information flow of the activities of the Network’s members.
In 2006, the leaders of the network decided to register a Secretariat which will handle the communications, coordination and networking work for EDNP.
Thus, Earth Day Network Philippines, Inc. (EDNPI) came to existence headed by nine (9) Trustees ably assisted by its Executive Director. The first Board of Trustees were: Ms. Odette Alcantara as Country Coordinator; Ms. Bebet Gozun as President; Mr. Edicio dela Torre as Secretary-General, Atty. Wigberto Tañada as Corporate Secretary, Ms. Bella Clemente as Treasurer with Mr. Bert Guevara, Mr. Von Hernandez, Dr. Metodio Palaypay and Mr. Isagani Serrano as members. Its first Executive Director was Mr. Voltaire Alferez.
