On March 31, 2023, OIC-PENR Officer Imelda M. Diaz hosted the regular TV Program entitled “Talakayang Pangkalikasan ng DENR Marinduque” via live telecast at 3:00 PM in Marinduque News Network (MNN), a Local Radio-TV Network in Marinduque Lucky Seven Channel 3. This month's episode focused on the celebration of 2023 National Women’s Month. This 2023, the PCW launches a new recurring theme for the celebration: “WE for gender equality and inclusive society”.

PENRO Diaz noted the various activities organized by DENR-PENRO Marinduque, in support of the Philippine Commission on Women’s (PCW’s) campaign to signify support for gender equality and women’s empowerment, and to cap off this month-long celebration, this Office invited Hon. Adeline M. Angeles, Vice Governor of Marinduque and 2022 Gender and Development (GAD) Champion, as the Special Guest and Resource Person. Vice Governor Angeles emphasized her advocacy in the ongoing endeavor of the Provincial Government of Marinduque to institutionalize numerous programs and projects in support of women’s right and protection. She emphasized the “Saklolo at Gabay sa Ina at Pamilya (SAGIP) Ordinance,” which provides for the Provincial Government's institutionalized intervention in the recovery of abused women and children.

In terms of environmental preservation, she emphasized that as a legislator, she had submitted various Resolutions, such as the Marinduque Environmental Code, which she hoped would be enacted within this quarter or throughout her term. This is an initiative that will safeguard the environment while promoting a variety of activities and projects that may be environmentally hazardous. Furthermore, she emphasized her contributions to several women's organizations, such as the Boac Women's Club. She went on to list the practical contributions of Marinduque's oldest NGO, the Marinduque Council for Environmental Concerns (MACEC), to the protection and conservation of the environment in the province of Marinduque.

Masiga, Gasan, Marinduque, in conjunction with the celebration of World Wildlife Day on March 3, 2023, with this year's theme "Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation," which provides an opportunity to focus on people at all levels who are working to make a difference in the conservation of species of wild fauna and flora. In addition to World Wildlife Day, she cited that on March 2, 2023, PENRO Marinduque released sixty (60) turtle hatchlings at Brgy. Lupac, Boac, Marinduque.

This year’s local theme, “Alay ng Bayan sa Inang Kalikasan, Kawayan,” underscores the importance of bamboo and its potential to aid in today’s most pressing socio-economic and ecological issues.

The event was spearheaded by the National Greening Program Coordinators of PENR Office which was participated by Local Government Unit (LGU) of Sibuyao and Bayakbakin, respectively. The activity was aimed to raise awareness on the ecological benefits bamboo for it plays an  important role in absorbing greenhouse gases, insulating carbon dioxide from the environment and producing 35 percent more oxygen than its equivalent tree size.

The safety protocols pursuant to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management and Emerging Infectious Diseases on COVID-19 were strictly followed and implemented during the activity.

The World Bamboo Day was created by Kamesh Salam in the year 2009 at the 8th World Bamboo Congress held in  Bangkok. He was the former president of the World Bamboo Organization.

Since 2009, WBO has been celebrating International Bamboo Day to increase the awareness of bamboo in the world. To generate awareness about promoting the bamboo industry, 18 September was marked as World Bamboo Day.
