From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 12): 7th Infantry Division to plant 3,500 saplings in honor of AFP's 78th founding anniversary

With the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) celebrating its 78th founding anniversary this Dec. 21, the Nueva Ecija-based 7th Infantry Division announced that it will plant 3,500 fruit and hard wood trees in honor of the occasion.

This will be planted at the vast camp area of Fort Ramon Magsaysay, the main base of the unit.

Major Gen. Hernando DCA Iriberri said the tree planting activity already started Dec. 11 and will continue until all 3,500 saplings are planted.

Aside from this, the 7th Infantry Division will conduct a bloodletting program in collaboration with Philippine National Red Cross with the aim of collecting at least 40,000 cc of blood.

Through this way, Iriberri said the 7th Infantry Division will join the rest of the military in simply celebrating the 78th anniversary of the AFP.
