Ten Filipina beauty queens, headed by Miss Earth 2015
Angelia Ong, graced the formal launching of “Race to One Million Seedlings” on
Friday at the newly created nursery for seedlings in Camp
Aguinaldo , Quezon City
This took place 9 a.m. in front of Civil Military Operations
School, said Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) public affairs office chief
Col. Noel Detoyato.
Ong and nine other Miss Earth queens joined the launching of
the project and ribbon-cutting.
While cadets taking up Reserve Officers Training Course
(ROTC) with their sponsors from 28 schools in Metro Manila participated to
represent and encourage the youth to take part in the effort.
The event formally introduced “Race to One Million
Seedlings” and opened it to public’s participation for the potting and creation
of a million seedlings which will be planted on available spaces in National
Capital Region (NCR) including the La Mesa Dam and Marikina Riverbank.
The AFP, through its Civil Relations Services (CRS),
organized the project which was soft-launched in last Dec. 7 at the Climate
Change Summit in Camp
Aguinaldo
The launching serves as signal for the public to begin
potting seeds to create seedlings which they will register via the Facebook fan
page “Race to One Million Seedlings”.
Efforts of the participants who will register seedlings will
be accounted for by a committee through photographs or videos of their
seedlings’ progress and growth.
“Top grossers” or those participants with the most number of
seedlings registered and monitored every month will be given prizes of various
merchandise as recognition of their efforts.
