    Press Release

    All is set for Sept. 26 TreeVolution


    By Claro A. Lanipa
    PAGADIAN CITY, Sept. 23 (PIA) The Department of Environment and Natural
    Resources (DENR)-9 has reported that all is set for the first of its kind event dubbed
    TreeVolution come Sept. 26 starting at 8:30a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
    Mr. Carlito Tuballa, regional technical director for Forest Management Services
    (FMS) in a media forum held on Tuesday said this is a very significant event
    because we will be breaking the record established by India for having planted
    1,945,535 million trees in a span of one hour in 108 locations across the country
    with 340,200 participants.
    This big event will be participated in by six regions in Mindanao targeting at least
    4.6 million seedlings to be planted in 9,200 hectares of land and will be participated
    in by at least 244, 444 planters. Each participant is expected to plant at least 20
    seedlings in a span of one hour with 500 seedlings per hectare, Tuballa added.
    On the other hand, Community Environment and Natural Resources Officer Vitaliano
    Valdez said it is important that we plant trees to help protect and preserve our
    environment, but more so we will be capturing the sensitivity of the people by
    promoting public awareness on the environment.
    Meanwhile, Melvin Sarcauga, focal person for National Greening Program (NGP) said
    the TreeVolution is not only to break the record set by India, but more importantly
    to stir the hearts and minds of Mindanaoans the importance in planting trees for
    the protection of our environment, adding, by planting trees we can help lessen
    the effects and impacts of climate change that we are now experiencing.
    Both Serena Cabrera and Vilaliano Valdez CENROs of Pagadian City and Guipos
    municipality, respectively, were elated to report that a big turnout of participants
    came to their offices to manifest their participation in this gigantic event.
    TreeVolution is a joint activity of the DENR, Mindanao Development Authority
    (MinDA), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in collaboration
    with the local government units. (FPG/CAL/PIA9)
