COTABATO CITY — Teachers and high school students, assisted by soldiers, planted over 700 tree seedlings on Saturday, March 7, around Camp Manuel T. Yan, Sr., in observance of International Women’s Month.
Major Gen. Alvin Luzon, commander of the Army’s 10th Infantry Division, told reporters on Monday, March 9, that the tree-planting activity at Camp Manuel T. Yan, Sr. in Barangay Tuboran, Mawab, Davao de Oro, involved division personnel, teachers, and students from nearby Tuboran National High School.
Teachers and the school principal confirmed that a total of 635 forest tree seedlings were planted in open areas inside the camp. In addition, students and soldiers separately planted 116 fruit tree seedlings around the campgrounds.
“We are thankful to the students and teachers of the Tuboran National High School for helping us push the tree-planting activity forward as part of our observance of the International Women’s Month,” Luzon said.
The 10th 10th ID kicked off its observance of International Women’s Month last Monday with Major Gen. Luzon pinning higher-rank insignias on a group of newly promoted female personnel under his command.
Radio reports on Monday cited local executives in Davao de Oro saying that 10th ID units across Regions 10, 11, and 13 are participating in environment-focused projects led by cause-oriented groups. The initiatives include maintaining cleanliness in rivers and springs near battalion command posts and detachments, sources of water for nearby villagers.
