IT IS NOT JUST TREE PLANTING, IT IS TREE GROWING!

The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) Regional Office VI, led by Regional Manager Engr. Jonel B. Borres, together with the Iloilo-Guimaras Irrigation Management Office under the management of Division Manager Engr. Randy C. Alipis, actively participated in the nationwide tree planting activity with the impactful theme “Luntiang Kagubatan, Matatag na Irigasyon.”

NIAns, in collaboration with supporting organizations, successfully planted trees in Brgy. Aguilar, San Lorenzo, Guimaras. The significance of the activity stands as a contribution to the international advocacy for sustainability and environmental protection.

In his inspirational message, RIM Borres emphasized the importance of a long-term commitment to the environment. “It is our responsibility to answer the call to protect nature. This must not be just tree planting... it’s tree growing!” he stated, as he encouraged everyone to go beyond common tree planting and ensure the nurturing and survival of the trees.

This initiative reflects NIA’s commitment not only to environmental preservation but also to building resilient irrigation systems through necessary and eco-friendly actions.
