I am grateful and blessed to be given the opportunity to go along with Miss Philippines Earth 2014, Jamie Harrell and Miss Earth Water 2013, Polly Punika to the Philippines for three days Environment Online programme. We were greeted with a warm welcome from school children’s as well as teachers and the entire tree planting activity took place with a lot of enthusiasm, eagerness and fun! The day started off with various schools visits and it was exciting to have the Mayor to plant his tree together with us. During our visit, the children also participated in the mangrove planting at Bayug Island and many trees were planted in various places in Illigan City, for instance, in Tinago Falls, Brgy. Kawit Oriental, Pagayawan Falls, Biak na Bato Falls, along the Highway and many more. Also, during my trip to Kawit Oriental and Bayug Island for mangrove planting, I have learnt that mangrove forest are incredibly important for the ecosystem and planting a mangrove seedling is not difficult at all! The project is aimed at planting more than 100 million trees by 2017 and involving in these actions is a huge number of volunteer students. This experience has definitely allowed me to recognize the value of the natural environment as well as the importance of tree planting for our mother earth.
This entire visit to the Philippines was extremely incredible.
I have met so many people from all walks of life and it was a
joy to see how incredibly welcoming and humble these people are. I love
the outdoors very much and being able to plant trees and enjoy the breath-taking
view at the same time was priceless! Can't wait to be back here in
the Philippines at the month of November! =)
