TUBOD, Lanao del Norte -- Around 5,000 seedlings were planted in Lanao del Norte as part of the provincial government’s observance of the Environment Month.
Participants planted 2,000 giant bamboo and 3,000 mahogany seedlings along the one one-kilometer downstream in Barangay Bulod, Tubod town, Lanao del Norte in June 28.
Governor Mohamad Khalid Q. Dimaporo and Lanao del Norte first district representative Imelda Q. Dimaporo led the tree planting.
Provincial, municipal and barangay officials, multi-sectors from the women, youth, non-government organizations, people’s organization, the Boys and Girls Scouts of the Philippines, the Armed Forces, Philippine National Police and other government agencies attended the tree-planting.
The Department of Education meanwhile sent the most number of participants.
Fifteen candidates for the Search for Miss Lanao del Norte 2012 also joined the tree-planting.
This year’s Environment Day kicked off with a program in the morning at the Kolambugan wharf. This town has been recognized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) for its Mariculture Park.
Gov. Dimaporo thanked his constituents and other government agencies for the full support they have been giving his administration in protecting the environment.
Officials from DENR Region 10 were among those who delivered messages, as the nation celebrates the Environment Month focusing on Green Economy and what does it mean to people.
Last year’s Environment Day was celebrated alongside of the Cathedral Falls, the tourist-destination site of Kapatagan town. It started with a program at the site followed by planting of 3,000 mahogany seedlings along the perimeter of the waterfalls, according to Ramon Serapio, provincial environment officer of Lanao del Norte local government unit.
The tree planting of the province goes with the government’s National Greening Program, to plant some 1.5 billion trees covering about 1.5 million hectares for a period of six years from 2011 to 2016.
This annual activity is in partnership with the Environment Office of Lanao del Norte-Provincial Government and the DENR-Provincial Environment Office (PENRO).
