"Sa huling bahagi ng Environmental Summit ay isa ang bayan ng Atimonan sa mapalad na nabigyan ng tropeo ng pagkilala na nagpapakita ng tagumpay ng mga programa ng MENRO na hindi natin makakamit kung wala ang aktibong partisipasyon ng mga mamamayang Atimonanin. [The town of Atimonan was one of the lucky ones to be awarded the trophy of recognition in the final part of the Environmental Summit, demonstrating the success of MENRO programs that we would not have achieved without the active participation of the Atimonanin citizens.]" sabi ni Mayor Mendoza.
