planting activity.
Some 3,000 narra trees were planted on the riverside of Sta. Barbara, Iloilo by Smart Communications. This is an annual activity and is now on its third year.
Sta. Barbara Mayor, Hon. Isabelo Maquino graced the event and thanked PLDT and Smart for the endeavor.
“During typhoon Frank, we experienced flooding. By planting trees, we help save Mother earth. I do hope this is a beginning of our development,” Maquino said.
The municipality of Sta. Barbara was in full force in supporting the activity. Present were representatives from the Local Government Unit (LGU), municipal officials, PNP-Sta. Barbara, barangay officials, Sanguniang Kabataan (SK), student volunteers from the University of San Agustin, a biker group and I-serve. Three groups were deployed to plant trees in Barangays Bulong Oeste, Bulong Este and Cabugao Sur.
