AKLAN-CAPIZ IMO JOINS NATIONWIDE TREE PLANTING TO SUPPORT ENVIRONMENTAL AND IRRIGATION GOALS

Under the leadership of Division Manager Engr. Raymond B. Mojares, the Aklan-Capiz Irrigation Management Office (IMO), took part in the Annual Nationwide Simultaneous Tree Planting Activity with the theme, “Luntiang Kagubatan, Matatag na Irigasyon,” held in Barangay Bayuyan, President Roxas, Capiz.

The collaborative effort included participants from the Panay River Basin Integrated Development Project (PRBIDP), President Roxas Municipal Police Station, the LGU, Irrigators’ Associations, and barangay officials. A variety of native and fruit-bearing trees, such as banasi, acacia, salong, mahogany, and narra, were planted.

Engr. Mojares emphasized the importance of nurturing the trees after planting. Supporting this advocacy are PENRO-Capiz, MENRO, BLGU, and Mr. Enrico L. Banico, who generously provided the planting site and pledged continued support for the trees’ growth.

This meaningful undertaking is part of NIA’s commitment not only to sustainable irrigation development but also to environmental preservation and climate action through the National Greening Program.
