In a statement, NSTP Coordinator, Eleazarico Macalling emphasized the importance of tree planting activities

“Tree planting is a very important activity that must be encouraged and normalized. We get huge benefits from trees and considering the environmental concerns we have these days, we must never underestimate the power this program could bring”, said Mr. Macalling.

The planted seedlings came from the National Tobacco Authority.

This is the fifth tree planting activity of MCNP and ISAP since 2020, and the third time this year. The last being led by Community Extension Services Office together with the General Education Department.
