Abstract: The study is a phenomenological qualitative paper that employed thematic analysis to examine the various ecological endeavors of government agencies in the Province of Ilocos Norte, Philippines. Participants were chosen through a purposive sampling technique. Their projects were evaluated to determine whether they align with the objectives and values inscribed in the Peers Ty System and whether they comply and are categorized as integral to the system’s aims. As for the findings, the study found that all the agencies have their own environmental projects, but these do not meet the qualifications for managing CO2 emissions. The reason for the insufficiency was due to limited funding, which devalued the performance of the agencies. The agencies were highly motivated and committed, but were constrained by the case at hand due to the scarcity of budget. The call is within the purview of national administrators to provide funds for agencies to meet the requirement to protect resources as part of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of the Paris Agreement. Ten (10) years from now, if we don’t act and find ways to look for additional funding, it is expected that we will be in a situation of environmental struggle. It is a challenge to the national government on how to respond to the climate demands of the times.
