8ID troops plant trees in Samar province

From the Philippine News Agency (May 6): 8ID troops plant trees in Samar province

In line with its environmental protection mission, the 8th Infantry Division announced that it has planted 50 mahogany and 100 fruit-bearing trees at the outskirts of its headquarters at Barangay Maulong, Catbalogan City, Samar.

Major Amado Gutierrez, 8th Infantry Division spokesperson, in a statement Tuesday, said planting took place last May 1.

He added that the project is also in support of the government's National Greening Program.

This year alone, the 8th Infantry Division had already planted 1,390 assorted fruit bearing and non-fruit bearing trees.

"Since the rainy season had already started, 8ID is now implementing its tree growing activities and had directed its subordinate units to do the same. The directive also emphasized to work with other stakeholders in conducting tree growing activities in their respective areas of operation," Gutierrez said.
