Soldiers of the 47th Infantry Battalion planted some 19,000 trees on July 18. Personnel of the Aklan Community Defense Center, government workers from the national and local government units and students joined the planting as part of their contribution to the government’s Green Philippines program.
According to Capt. Antonio Tumnog of the 47th IB based in Camp Jizmundo, Libas, Banga, they planted trees at Brgy. Panayakan in Tangalan, Aklan. The tree planting activity started at 8:00 o’clock in the morning.
Of the 19,000 tree seedlings for the tree planting activity, seven thousand were provided by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Kalibo, Aklan, while the 12,000 seedlings, consisting of fruit and non-fruitbearing trees, were propagated by the personnel of the Aklan Community Defense Center.
The Aklan Community Defense Center group was joined in the activity by schools here in Kalibo with ROTC units like the Aklan State University and the Northwestern Visayan Colleges. The Aklan 1st Ready Reserve Battalion was also with the CDC group.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), along with other national government agencies, civic and volunteer groups, also joined the tree planting.The tree planting activity in Aklan initiated by the soldiers was originally scheduled June 29 but was reset on July 18.
Capt. Tumnog said the tree planting on July 18 was just a kick-off activity as the Philippine Army aims to continue this program not only in Aklan or in Western Visayas but in the whole country. /MP
