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.
