MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Feb 14 (PIA) --- The police here has already started planting at least 750 mangrove seedlings to strongly support the nationwide tree planting campaign, in compliance with the President's National Greening Program. | |||
Superintendent Hector Enage disclosed that each of the 52 organic police officers and staff in the police station are required to plant at least six trees every month for a year. | |||
Enage said earlier this month they were able to plant 500 mangrove trees in Barangay Pasay mangrove in Maasin City in close coordination with the barangay officials, who also contributed their share of mangrove seedlings to the tree planting. | |||
On February 11, Saturday, the Maasin City PNP conducted the second tree planting in Barangay Manhilo mangrove area and planted another 250 seedlings, Enage added. | |||
Enage said the will further coordinate with the Department of Agriculture and barangay councils in the city for the rest of the tree planting activities particularly in their need for tree planting materials and planting areas. | |||
The tree planting activity of Maasin City Police Station is in consonance with the campaign of Police Director General Nicanor A. Bartolome, chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) to plant 10 million trees for the same period and to PNoy's call to plant a billion trees to mitigate climate change.(PIA8- Southern Leyte) | |||
