MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Feb. 17 (PIA) --- The entire province is getting ready for the historic tree planting revolution slated on February 25.
The tree-planting revolution, which coincides with the commemoration of the 26th anniversary of the EDSA Revolution, is in support to the nationwide program to protect and preserve the environment.
Dr. Mary Joyce Guinto-Sali of the Mindanao State University – Institutional Research and Evaluation Office (MSU-IREO) said the activity aims to contribute to the disaster risk reduction and management initiatives of the province.
It is also designed to help the communities where the seedling will be planted to develop a sense of responsibility, thereby, creating an environment-loving image of the province, she said.
A total of 4,000 seedlings are expected to be planted during the activity where each of the municipalities in the province has been tasked to plant at least 100 seedlings.
The seedlings and other planting materials will be provided by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), National Power Corporation (NPC), Lanao del Sur Electric Cooperative (LASURECO), and the various tree growers here.
Other participating agencies to the tree-planting revolution are the Department of Education (DepEd), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP), as well as, the local government units (LGUs), Barangay leaders, and Sangguniang Kabataan leaders in the entire province.
