LUCENA CITY, Quezon- The provincial government of Quezon through the environment and natural resources office will plant two million mangrove trees on June 22 at coastal barangays in Quezon province.


This is in partnership with other government agencies such as the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine National Police, Department of Education, local government units, non-government organizations, and religious organizations.
LUCENA CITY, Quezon- The Pag-IBIG Fund - Lucena branch appealed to the 8,367 housing loan borrowers with unpaid account, and delinquent and unregistered employers that have not yet register their company and workers to avail the Pag-IBIG Fund housing loan restructuring and penalty condonation program.


The program, dubbed, “Quezon’s 2 in 1” or “2 milyong bakawan sa isang araw na taniman” is one of the priority programs of the provincial government headed by Gov. David Suarez which aims to protect coastlines and coastal communities from tidal surges and typhoons by planting mangrove trees along the coastal areas.
According to Norma Cayabyab, chief of marketing and enforcement division, said the program gives its members an opportunity to settle their housing loan account and registration of employers and workers until June 2012.


According to environment and natural resources office (ENRO-Quezon) headed by Romulo M. Edano Jr. OIC, ENR Officer, mangroves also absorb air and water pollution, especially organic waste. Mangroves also provide nourishment, habitat, and refuge to larvae and fry stages of varied species of fishes, crustaceans, and mollusks along with fish, prawns, and crab.
“We informed the housing loan borrowers and delinquent and unregistered employers thru mails but as of this time only 26 members had sent their intention to avail the program. Still we are waiting until on the due date to accept their reply," Cayabyab said.


The program will provide livelihood to local residents of the costal barangays specially the fisher folks.
Cayabyab encouraged delinquent members, either individual or company, to avail this program in able to avoid uncomfortable circumstances.


The two million mangrove trees will be planted in 247.96 hectares of coastal barangays in the towns of Pagbilao, Mauban, Real, Infanta, General Nakar, Patnanungan, Burdeos, Lucena City, Sariya, General Luna, Padre Burgos, Agdangan, Unisan, Pitogo, Macalelon, Catanauan, Mulanay, San Francisco, Buenavista, San Narciso, San Andres, Atimonan, Gumaca, Calauag, Lopez, Guinayangan, Tagkawayan, Alabat and Perez, Quezon.
Meanwhile, Pag-IBIG Fund is now using ‘cash card’ to all borrowers of ‘multi-purpose loan’ (MPL).
 
The planting materials will be funded under the “Securing Quezon's Future" Program of the provincial government in line with the national greening program of the government.
