'These logs and flitches were donated to the provincial government in a deed of donation signed on Oct. 14, 2022, between the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Caraga Region (DENR-13) Executive Director Nonito Tamayo and Gov. Santiago Cane Jr.,' Asugan said in an interview.On Tuesday, both officials led the turnover of the armchairs to the province's Department of Education (DepEd) office, represented by Superintendent Miverva Albis, at the provincial government center in Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur. In a statement, the DepEd-Agusan del Sur thanked the DENR-13 and the provincial government for the armchairs.
