Provincial government employees and other stakeholders will converge in the upland barangay of Sinundolan, San Remigio, to plant 2,000 fruit-bearing seedlings to mark the “Pista kang Kagubatan” in Antique on June 26.<\/p>\n
The annual activity is mandated under Provincial Ordinance No. 2015-109, designating every last Friday of June for the tree-planting activity, Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer Vivian Marfil said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are encouraging provincial government employees and those others willing to join in the tree planting activity to bring at least two fruit-bearing seedlings that they could plant in the area,” Marfil said in an interview.<\/p>\n
Among the seedlings they target to plant are jackfruit, mabolo or velvet apple, casta\u00f1as, and duhat or black plum.<\/p>\n
With the yearly activity, they hoped to develop the six to seven-hectare area into a micro watershed that will serve as a year-round source of water for the community.<\/p>\n
Last year, they planted 1,500 seedlings in the same barangay. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
